A banner promoting tourism in New York, featuring a retro 30s Art Deco treatment of the Empire State Building, hangs opposite a 19th century brownstone. I bring the two subjects together in my frame, juxtaposing the classical embellishments of the brownstone’s architectural detail with the colors and stylization of the retro banner. By juxtaposing a 120 year old building with a contemporary banner that looks 75 years old, I try to offer an enduring vision of New York through the years.
