Original Description
William Samuel Horton’s Ritz Tower, New York captures the electric energy of early 20th-century Manhattan with its bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color palette. Painted around 1927, the work reflects Horton’s distinctive modernist style, influenced by Impressionism and Ashcan School realism, yet charged with his own dynamic, almost abstract approach. The towering Art Deco skyscraper emerges through fragmented planes of light and shadow, evoking the pulsing rhythm of urban life during the Jazz Age. Though Horton was an American expatriate working primarily in France, this piece underscores his fascination with modernity and architectural grandeur. While not as widely recognized as contemporaries like Edward Hopper or Georgia O’Keeffe, Horton’s cityscapes offer a compelling bridge between European Post-Impressionism and American urban realism, making Ritz Tower a notable piece for collectors of early modernist Americana.
For a sophisticated yet inviting decor scheme, this painting shines best in a space with streamlined Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern furnishings. Its rich blues and golden hues pair elegantly with warm metallics, deep woods, or jewel-toned velvet upholstery. Consider hanging it in a well-lit office or living room—preferably above a console or desk—where its vertical composition complements high ceilings or tall architectural details. Opt for a medium-to-large frame in brushed brass or black lacquer to enhance its period charm. The artwork’s kinetic energy makes it ideal for creative workspaces, while its historical gravitas lends authority to executive settings. Balance its intensity with muted walls (soft gray or taupe) and minimalistic decor to let Horton’s visionary brushwork take center stage.
