Work

Monday Morning

Monday morning tomorrow.  Back to work for many people.

My favourite paintings of people at work.

 

                                                        

Work,Ford Madox Brown

      A   famous Victorian scene of labourers at work in Manchester .Even small children   are roped in to help.

                                                                        

Going to Work, Lowry

 

 

          No one captured the dreariness of going to work better than Lowry.The 1930s when the cotton mills of Lancashire were at full production and thousands of workers streamed in every morning.

 

The ironers, Degas

                                                                     

                Endless ironing of linen shirts with a very old fashioned iron.No wonder these ladies turned to drink.
