About this Work of Art ~
"Skaters"
was created in 1964. Laszlo
Tar lived in New York City starting in 1959. He loved
historic Central Park as a place to paint, draw and
bring his family. One of his favorite areas of the park
was the upper east side. Of the five or so paintings
that he completed, which include the
famous Wollman Skating Rink, this work is considered
one of the best. Created in the winter of 1964, the artist
reflects the extraordinary beauty of this wonderful spot
with the contrast of the Wollman Rink
, teaming with skaters, in colorful Central Park and
set upon the exciting city skyline.
A truly fantastic
and masterful work of art!
