"His urban tower pictures are
tours de force..remarkable: the visual splendor and
scale of New York are transported into the gallery-
the sparkling lights, the shadowy interiors, the frozen
brilliance - making it into a kind of modern Venice
on the Hudson". - Lawrence
Campbell

".. 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. The biosphere encases it, and each of us
lives in a world of visual experience, part earth,
part biosphere, something of the free multifaceted
endlessness of reality is suggested by the curve..."
