Label TextRather than focusing on the curved, art deco facade of Radio City Music Hall (opened in 1932), Dolice captured the neighborhood transformed by the construction of Rockefeller Center in 1930s New York. The spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral (completed in 1878) stand out against the towering buildings, while a tree curves upward from its plot on the sidewalk.
