"I remember as a child peering out of our fifth-floor apartment window at the strange world of rooftops below me; a world of strange shapes and sizes and colors; of grotesque chimneys, wires and wash hanging on the line. From then on I began to shake off the "plein air" type of painting that i had found so ill-suited to the Chicago scene. I began to paint the city as I experienced it directly."
Arthur Osver
Throughout the many phases of his development as an artist, Osver was - as he claimed - always a landscapist. He would eventually define himself as an urban painter, his focus happening to be - as he put it - "on this world of wires and chimneys and tar paper and all the rest of it."
