[Photo Collage: Man with Broom and Dustpan] 1870 - 1880

"Photo Collage: Man with Broom and Dustpan" is a photomontage by Uruguayan artist Juan Pedro Chabalgoity, created between 1870 and 1880. The artwork depicts a man in a top hat and a blue apron holding a broom and dustpan, with a playful, satirical tone. Chabalgoity was known for his use of collage and his interest in social commentary, making this piece a prime example of his work. The piece, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, exemplifies the artist's unique style and humor, blending the everyday with the fantastical through photomontage.
