Acrylic on canvas by Marshall Baer – New York City (1972) Marshall Baer – New York City (1972) "Created in 1972, *New York City* is a significant large-scale acrylic on canvas by Marshall Baer, measuring 188 × 156 cm (74 × 61.5 in)." The painting powerfully captures the energy of the American metropolis through a contemporary visual language, in which form, color, and rhythmic composition evoke the city's dynamism, soaring verticality, and constant movement. The use of acrylic gives the surface exceptional chromatic vibrancy and remarkable visual intensity.
