Le Yack - Empire View - Hand signed

A 1950s-60s New York office, late-afternoon light in apricot. A woman in a charcoal gray suit stands, back to the viewer, facing a bay window overlooking the Manhattan skyline. She holds a cup of coffee whose steam rises. The Empire State Building rises through the evening mist. On the desk to the left: a black rotary phone, an ashtray, folders.
Le Yack paints the woman of power before there was a word for designating her. Back to the viewer, facing the city — this posture says it all about the decision that has just been or will be made. The coffee still hot says she has been there for a long time. The Empire State Building in the fog says that New York stands up to what she imagines. It is a painting about quiet ambition — the rarest and most formidable.
