Question

An essay from Yves-Alain Bois’s (EEV-ah-LAHN BWAHZ's) Painting as Model describes the “all-over” composition of a painting of (-5[1])this city as a “pas de trois” and connects it to the artist’s essay “The New Realism.” The chapter “Trouble in Utopia” in Robert Hughes’s The Shock of the New contrasts “Utopian city plans” with an artist’s “incorruptible” late-career paintings of this city. Paintings of this city eliminated empty “bays” found in earlier works like Place de La Concorde and the (*) Tableau series. In November 2022, Susanne Meyer-Büser confirmed Francesco Visalli’s claim that a painting titled for this city has likely been hanging upside down. Yellow lines connect (10[1])red, white, and blue squares in a painting inspired by this (10[1])city's grid and by blues music. For 10 points, what city inspired Piet Mondrian’s Broadway (10[1])Boogie-Woogie? ■END■
