Nocturne (The General Motors Building at Columbus Circle)
O. Louis Guglielmi American, born Egypt
Guglielmi depicts the General Motors Building at Columbus Circle, New York, with a draftsman’s concern for linear detail. While his background in neoclassical mural painting gave him expertise in spatial construction, Guglielmi stated his allegiance to artists associated with the style known as Precisionism, including Charles Demuth. Although the painting is devoid of figurative subjects, Guglielmi felt it suggested life, "I like to evoke the feel of a street, the unseen life hidden by blank walls, its bustle and noise, the mystery of a deserted alley."
