A cheap tourist-like oil painting is perched on the railing of the Brooklyn Heights promenade. The painting is positioned directly in front of the New York skyline as it appeared in 1971 - 1972. The World Trade Center Tower Two is still under construction with a crane on the roof. The oil painting, who's original intent is to be a beautiful, impressionist interpretation of lower Manhattan, somehow takes on a dual nature of beauty and horror. The artist's expressive use of red gives the impression that lower Manhattan is on fire, with billowing clouds that look like smoke. The painting juxtaposed against the World Trade Center creates a Nostradamus-like prediction of 9-11. br I am not completely sure of the date. The chrome or slide mounting does not have a date. I did not use Kodak but K&L Labs in Manhattan. K&L was a top lab in New York City for decades that handled most of the professional photography from Magazines to Ad Agency work. I used them as a photographer and later as an Advertising Agency Art Director for Foote, Cone & Belding
