ABOUT THE WORK Cityscapes New York is more than an imposing city of skyscrapers and urban canyons. With his atmospheric compositions consisting of photography, collage, and painting, Gottfried Salzmann makes it possible to experience the fascinating diversity of the famous metropolis. These atmospheric snapshots do not claim to depict reality but still capture it more completely than documentary photographs are able to. Instead of using the typical watercolour bleeding for the softer depiction of physical objects, the artist opts for surprisingly accurate and detailed illustration.
