The view of a crammed New York City subway car circa 1928 is depicted in wide-angle vision. The foreground figures are rendered with the type of distortion that is common today is selfies. Rutherford Boyd was a magazine art director and was very familiar with photography. In a sense, this is an early photorealism work because it's based on a photography sensibility. Framed dimensions: 40 1/2 x 30 in.
