Impressionist Masterpiece Rediscovered
Released: May 16, 2011After almost a century in a single private collection, Ernest Lawson's "Central Park" has re-emerged. The painting, executed circa 1910, went from Lawson by way of Mac Beth Galleries directly to a private collection in the midwest. Representing the artist's best signature work, "Central Park" has not been exhibited or widely known until now, four generations later. A member of the often gritty Ashcan School, Lawson visited urban subjects, but through his own lens of Impressionism. "Central Park" is a winter scene inside the Park looking east toward Fifth Avenue at 75th Street. T...
