Anyone know who painted 'men on the rise' also 'women on the rise', over New York? I should like to obtain, maybe in poster form,
copies.
Many thanks,
Jersey. C.I.

It's not a painting if it's the one I'm thinking about.
A load of guys, sitting on a long crossbeam, all eating lunch 1000s of feet above the streets of NY? That's a Photo.
No idea who took the picture though. It's just become as famous as 'the Kiss' or the really buff guy holding the baby.
Edit: Found it. Here's who took the picture; Charles C. Ebbets.
"Ebbets' two most famous photos were taken during the construction of the Rockefeller Center in New York in 1932. Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper depicts eleven men sitting on a girder eating lunch, their feet dangling from the beams hundreds of feet above the New York streets below was snapped on September 29, 1932, and appeared in the New York Herald Tribune shortly after. The photo was taken on the 69th floor in the last several months of construction."
In sources I'll put a picture of it aswell just to check it's the one you're thinking of.
