The street and its passing figures

Købmagergade, Copenhagen follows pedestrians and traffic between tall building fronts, with pale ground reflecting the light. The close street gives individual figures a clear place within the larger setting. Other city works introduce squares, churches and evening walks.

Flowers within the public square

Women Selling Flowers at Højbro Plads gathers stalls, sellers and passers-by beneath trees and surrounding buildings. The market’s small arrangements bring colour and activity into the open space. Explore cityscape art for other streets, markets and public settings.

Resting figures at the shore

Two Young Women and a Japanese Parasol on Hornbæk Beach places figures on pale sand beside a bright patterned parasol. The open sky and water offer a contrast with the enclosed city streets. Other beach subjects follow bathers, children and people at rest along different stretches of coast.
