Like the most seasoned en plein air painters, Robert Bowden has skillfully painted the Manhattan landscape and presents a watercolor chronicle that has a timeless quality. Bowden's painting style and the charming medium gives his cityscapes both an intimacy and immediacy that perfectly capture the most alluring aspects of New York. Some subjects in this book are welcomely familiar, some are more anonymous, but all capture the heart and life of Manhattan. Landmarks include: The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Central Park's Bethesda Fountain; The Guggenheim; the Flatiron building; the Central Park West skyline; Washington Square Park; and Vesuvio Bakery, to name only a few. Manhattan in Detail is a little jewel of a book perfect for the resident, visitor, or armchair traveler alike.
