Description: | The people in this scene are looking for jobs from newspaper advertisements. It is probably set in the Free Public Library that stood on New Bridge Street, Newcastle at that time. The library was very near the artist Ralph Hedley's studio. The worn clothes and thin face of the man at the front of the picture show that he has been out of work for some time. Social Realist subjects showing the lives of working people had become popular at this period. The rough-edged style that Hedley has used for this picture was also fashionable. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement work artists oil paintings living in the North East clothes art North East artists men Newcastle women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
