River to River

River to River I

1983, 50x72, Oil on linen. 

View of lower Manhattan from the East River/ Brooklyn Bridge to Hudson (North) River as seen from Susan Mareneck’s studio on Murray Street in the Franklin Building between Broadway and Church Streets.  The center of the view evokes a concentration of Native, Dutch, British and American history built on 3000 year old Lenape paths along which Europeans, from 1626, began to fashion the heterodox society now a world influencer.
