Isolation in light and shadow The painting “New York Movie” is an incredible painting with significant use of light and shadow and the contrast of warm and cool colors.

The painting shows a town at night‚ which is asleep‚ quiet and peaceful. During

Either way many viewers will interpret their actions differently
