Item Description
Style: These social realist works, executed in oil on paper, provide a candid look at the nature of manual labour. The expressionist style employs a restrained, earthy palette of browns, ochres, and cool greys to underscore the sombre reality of working class craftsmanship and daily toil. Unsigned. Circa 1940's - these were purchased with other pieces by the artist painted in 1948. Housed in oak frames of this period with glass.
In addition to framed measurements - Unframed art aperture H 41cm W 31cm
Story: Popularised between the 1930s and 1950s, this aesthetic became a hallmark of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA). It also reflects the efforts of post war European artists to celebrate the nobility and dignity of the working class.
