Description: A lovely little view of the Park Plaza from across Central Park with some iconic buildings in 1949. It has since been much developed with ATT building amongst others but here we see New York in it heydays full of excitement and promise. Most spectacular of all is the frame from the period that makes this little gem belong in a 5th Avenue Penthouse. The drypoint print has lovely clear lines and remains fresh to draw your eye in. Signed in pencil with 1947 date. Frame : 11" x 9 1/2" Print: 4 1/2" x 3" Mortimer Borne was a Polish-born, American printmaker, painter, sculptor and teacher. His family immigrated to the United States in 1916 to escape World War I, where he took up study at the National Academy of Design, the Art Students League of New York and the Beaux-Art Institute of Design. He also studied with Charles Webster Hawthorne, founder of the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown. Borne picked up printmaking in the 1920s and by 1930 his work was being sold by the esteemed Frederick Keppel & Co in New York City. Apart from drypoints, Borne was also a passionate sculptor and created works from wood he either collected or had donated from around the globe. He taught at the New School for Social Research for nearly twenty years.
