Ouvriers Sortant de L'Usine
1903
"Ouvriers Sortant de L'Usine" (Workers Leaving the Factory) is a lithograph by Swiss artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen that captures the daily reality of industrial labor in late 19th century France. The work depicts a crowd of workers exiting a factory, rendered in Steinlen's characteristically expressive style that emphasizes the dignity and humanity of working class subjects. As a lithograph, the medium allowed Steinlen to achieve rich tonal variations and gestural mark making that convey both the physical exhaustion and social consciousness central to his artistic vision.
