The Ashcan Movement
The Ashcan movement was a revolution against American standards in painting. The artists of this idiom painted an America overlooked by the mainstream. They chose everyday working situations and the inner working of the large city. Classical Ashcan subject are working shop people, ladies placing laundry on the clothesline, the alcoholic or street-people, kinds playing in the alleys and the perverted side of the theatre district. The timeline for the Ashcan school would be from the turn of the 20th century through the early 1930s.
