Lucille Corcos, Morningside Park, Cathedral of St. John the Divine, 1928. Oil on canvas and masonite.

Corcos paints what appears to be the northern part Central Park from an elevated view looking northwest. The artist used a restricted palette of warm browns and grays with heavy outlines. She was a leading modern American primitivist who has had numerous museum shows, including the Whitney Biennial.

"Petit would be charged for trespassing, but those charges were ultimately dropped amid the positive publicity the Port Authority received for the caper — and Petit agreed to perform a free high-wire show for children in Central Park. He was even given a lifetime pass to the World Trade Center’s observation deck."
