1915 (ca.), Maurice Prendergast, Central Park -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)

From the museum label: America's most distinctive Post-Impressionist, the well-traveled Maurice Prendergast settled in New York with his artist-brother Charles in 1914, one year after participating in the transformative Armory Show. Deeply influenced by the work of Paul Cezanne and the Fauves, the French-trained Prendergast captured the energy of city life in this tapestry-like park scene of rich color and form.
