VLADIMIR LAZAREV (RUSSIAN - AMERICAN, 1904-1988) SIGNED 'WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK IN WINTER' OIL ON CANVAS, 1954 Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left "V. Lazarev 1954." The painting depicts Washington Square Park in New York City during a snowfall, centered on the iconic Washington Square Arch. Crowds of pedestrians carrying umbrellas move through the snow-covered park beneath bare winter trees. Executed in a richly textured impasto technique, the composition captures the atmospheric effects of falling snow and the bustling urban character of mid-century Manhattan. Born in Russia in 1904, Vladimir Lazarev emigrated to the United States and became known for his expressive urban landscapes and impressionistic city views. His paintings of New York, particularly winter scenes and park settings, remain among his most sought-after works. The present painting combines documentary interest with strong decorative appeal, depicting one of New York City's most recognizable monuments during a characteristic winter storm.
