".. where his lofty spaces meet the earth...his delight in painting comes through the play of light over surfaces, like the glass and steel of the World Trade Center." New England Art Journal

Lucien Day painted and photographed many New York City buildings many of them while the buildings were under construction, his paintings capture a time in history. Lucien Day has painted landscapes and portraits. Here is an excerpt on perspective from the Hudson River Museum book; The World is Round " The earth is curved beneath our feet.
