A majority of the paintings on the theme of Reflections on the City capture the energy and cacophony of New York City. Dominated by bold signage and enticing storefronts, these images transmit the visual overload that defines the metropolis and is further heightened by the reflective surfaces of shop windows, cars, and telephone booths, which generate vivid collages of the immediate surroundings and the vital pulse of daily life. While people do appear in many of these pictures, they are rarely the main subject of the works and more often than not appear as a trace—but one of many threads in the urban fabric.
