Peter Salwen’s paintings, which often showcase local streetscapes or nature scenes, are on view through the end of the month at St. Agnes Library at 444 Amsterdam Avenue between 81st and 82nd. The show is called “The City and Its People” and features about 20 paintings. It will be up through December 31.
Salwen, a longtime Upper West Sider, is an author, tour guide and artist. He wrote Upper West Side Story, the quintessential book about the neighborhood, and one of the best books about NYC period.
His work is beautiful and showcased elegantly at the library.
