If you follow us at all, you know we love Jan Zwara. He was vastly prolific, literally painting to live. And It’s always fun having random Zwaras, ne’er before seen, find their way to my inbox. This piece from 1934, is local Indy and features the White River bridge at Meridian St. (around 6400 N. Meridian). The bridge was constructed in 1933 and thus would have been brand new when Zwara sat down to paint it. The bridge was recently (and substantially) rebuilt and expanded in a multi-year project. The piece is a classic Zwara gouache – the White River, a bridge, reflections on the water, tonalist background. All to good effect and the bonus of semi-prominent Indianapolis subject matter.
