Mulberry Street
Sid Grossman American
Not on view
Whether he trained his camera on exuberant summer scenes on the beaches of Coney Island or Mulberry Street during the San Gennaro festival, shown here, Grossman was one of the greatest chroniclers of working-class life in New York during the late 1930s and 1940s. The slapdash framing of this scene and the kaleidoscopic effect of the lights against the night sky make palpable the ebullient atmosphere on the street, engulfing the viewer in the experience.
