Michael Loew, Concert, 1928. Oil on canvas.
The scene is Lewisohn Stadium, which was on the campus of CCNY (City College of New York) between 136th and 138th Sts. and Amsterdam and Convent Aves. For years, the open-air venue hosted musical and theatrical performances and athletic events and was called "the city's summer cultural center." It was demolished in 1973 to expand the college's academic facilities.
