Station 3: Artwork
This painting was done by Lily Furedi. This was painted during the Great Depression. The Great Depression was a hard time in America's history. It was when the economy was bad and there were very little jobs, and many people struggled for money.
This scence has a very distinc emotion to it. The scence seems somewhat sad and dreary, but also eager and rushed. If I wrote a story to explain this photo, it would go as follows; It is early Monday morning. The weekend is over and people are back to work. Even though it is the Depression, and people should be thankful that they have a job, but instead, they dread going to work because they work so hard for so little pay. The women in the back are snickering about thier weekends. The men are quietly planning the day in their heads. Everyone is in a work mood.
What I took from this station is that people during the depression were not happy with what was happening in the economy, but they still had to keep struggling through the day. The whole country had to go through the same thing, so they all did what they had to do.
