Book Description
Virtuoso watercolorist Rick Brosen has been wandering the streets of New York City for most of his life. His paintings
capture a city void of urban bustle and noise, a "still" New York in every sense of the word.
Brosen knows the city's hidden jewels-the elegant statues in vest-pocket West Side parks, the terra-cotta ornamentation
on Harlem bow-front row houses, and the haunting emptiness of the surviving cast-iron market buildings along the
Hudson. He also knows its major landmarks-the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Station, and Ellis Island, to name
but a few. Alongside Brosen's luminous paintings, best-selling author and award-winning documentary filmmaker Ric
Burns and New York Times journalist Alan Feuer retrace the origins and growth of this ever-changing city
from Tribeca and SoHo through Midtown and on to Central Park and up to the Cloisters, revealing-with Brosen's watercolors-its
favorite places and hidden treasures.
