Description
Here I painted The Flatiron Building. The Flatiron Building is one of New York’s most iconic buildings. Located in Midtown Manhattan, it sits on a triangular island formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street and 23rd Street. So how did it become known as the Flatiron ? Back in 1857, Amos Eno the owner of the land put a canvas screen on the wall, and projected images onto it from a lantern on top of one of his smaller buildings and showed advertisements and pictures. The Times and the New York Tribune soon got in on the action and began using the screen for news bulletins as people would gather in Madison Square to watch. Forty years later, the Fuller Company bought and built the current building and tried to call it the ‘Fuller Building’, but the name never quite caught on.Today it’s one of the most famous buildings in New York. Come sit in the square, eat at burger at the Shake Shack and just stare as it really is quite impressive. Painting background made with american flag background and some textures.
