About the piece
Painted in 1909, George Bellows’ 'The Lone Tenement' depicts a solitary brick building beneath the massive girders of the Queensboro Bridge. This masterpiece of the Ashcan School uses bold, gestural brushwork and a stark tonal contrast to convey the gritty atmospheric reality of Manhattan's transforming industrial landscape.
