Untitled, Shenango Ingot Molds (Working People series) 1978 - 1981

Milton Rogovin's "Untitled, Shenango Ingot Molds (Working People series)" (1978 - 1981) is a black-and-white photograph capturing a working-class man in a dark industrial setting. His worn clothes, dirt-stained hands, and stoic expression convey the hardships and resilience of labor. Rogovin's "Working People" series, which this photograph is part of, sought to document the lives and experiences of ordinary workers in a specific industrial environment. The photograph's stark contrast and minimalist composition further highlight the subject's physicality and the industrial landscape.
