500449 Holiday on the Hudson, c.1912 (oil on canvas)
by Luks, George Benjamin (1867-1933); 96.5x111.5 (framed) 76.2x91.7 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Known for his exuberant personality, George Luks studied art in Philadelphia and Germany before returning to a career as a painter and newspaper illustrator in the United States. His enthusiasm for life extended into his images of New Yorks working classes, which he often depicted carousing and merrymaking. Painted with broad, thick brushstrokes and vivid hues, Holiday on the Hudson captures the spirit of a festive river outing. The figures seem almost secondary to the playful patterns created by the brightly colored boats, reflected on the shimmering blue water.

Luks, known for his exuberant personality, used broad brushstrokes and vivid hues to create this lively scene. In the painting, brightly colored boats fill the shimmering blue water of the Hudson River. The figures enjoying their holiday seem almost secondary to the playful patterns created by these boats.

The artist's enthusiasm for life shines through in his depiction of New York's working classes carousing and merrymaking during their leisure time. This painting reflects Luks' love for capturing scenes of everyday life with energy and vibrancy. "Holiday on the Hudson" measures 96.5x111.5 cm when framed and 76.2x91.7 cm without framing.
