What can you say about the painting Ashcan school?

The Ashcan School was an artistic movement in the early 20th century that focused on depicting the everyday life of the urban working class, particularly in New York City. Artists associated with this movement, such as Robert Henri and Edward Hopper, sought to portray the raw, gritty realities of city life, often using loose brushwork and a muted color palette. Their work challenged the idealized portrayals of American life prevalent at the time, emphasizing realism and social commentary.
