About the piece
Painted in 1912, George Bellows’ 'Men of the Docks' is a definitive work of the Ashcan School, capturing the raw energy of the Brooklyn waterfront. The monumental composition juxtaposes the massive scale of a modern steamship with the hard labor of dockworkers and their horse-drawn teams against the foggy silhouette of the Manhattan skyline.
