Title |
Coney Island Beach |
Description |
In this simplistic landscape by artist Vestie Davis, empty trash cans spot the vast expanse of an uninhabited Coney Island beach, a scene unlikely to be witnessed during the daytime at this infamous Brooklyn landmark. The boardwalk, as well as some shops and rides, are visible at the left background, and the bright blue ocean water can be seen at the right. Coney Island was a favorite subject of the artist. |
