Question

Early drafts of one painting by this artist featured a man resting his arm on a second-story window, which became the only window in that painting completely shut. Gail Levin cited the influence of Jo Mielziner’s stage design for Elmer Rice’s play Street Scene on one of this man’s paintings. This man’s final painting shows two white-clad pantomime comedians bowing out on stage. This man painted a woman in blue standing in a well lit corner of a (*) movie theater. (10[1])The MoMa’s first permanent collection item by an American was this artist’s House on the Railroad. A row of green shops under red apartments line a street behind a fire hydrant and barber pole, which cast long shadows in this man’s painting inspired by Seventh Avenue. For 10 points, name this artist of Early Sunday Morning and Nighthawks. ■END■
