160 E. 72nd Street, Manhattan-Henry Varnum Poor Ceramics
One day as I walked along East 72nd Street in Manhattan, I passed a building with four ceramic roundels under the shallow ground floor arches on its facade. The ceramic ornamentation in the archways of the facade was made by the artist/ceramicist Henry Varnum Poor who felt that "since architecture itself is a more or less abstract art, the warmth of some imagery is needed in our buildings."
