Window Cleaner 1932

"Window Cleaner" is a 1932 lithograph by American artist William Wolfson (1894-1966). The artwork depicts a window cleaner working on a tall building, framed by an interior window that looks out onto a bustling cityscape. Wolfson's work often focused on everyday laborers and urban life, showcasing the social realities of the time, particularly during the Great Depression. The print's focus on a single figure against the backdrop of a towering city captures the changing landscape of America during this period. "Window Cleaner" is a testament to Wolfson's keen observation of the urban environment and his ability to portray working-class lives with both realism and empathy.
