Medewerkers en machines van de Wolseley Motor Company in de Ward End Works, de fabriek in Birmingham 1932

This black and white photograph shows employees and machinery at the Wolseley Motor Company in Birmingham. You know, looking at this image, I'm struck by the composition. The machines are so close together, almost blurring into one another, creating this sense of endless repetition that recedes into the distance. Logan's use of light and shadow gives everything a kind of texture, a roughness. The metal isn’t smooth or polished, but worn, almost organic, as if it's grown there over time. There’s a tension between the cool, metallic surfaces of the machines and the warmth of the human figures dotted throughout. It’s a picture about work, but also about the relationship between humans and industry. In a way, it reminds me of Charles Sheeler’s work, the way he captured the essence of the industrial age with a kind of detached precision. Yet, there’s a raw, unpolished quality to Logan's photograph that sets it apart. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t have to be about perfection or definitive statements; it can be about exploration, about raising questions rather than answering them.
