Workers Houses, Flushing Bay 1945

Philip Evergood's 1945 painting "Workers Houses, Flushing Bay" depicts a quiet, suburban landscape with an industrial backdrop. The houses, rendered in a simplified, almost cartoon-like style, sit on a hillside overlooking a waterway with a small town or industrial area in the distance. The composition emphasizes the houses and their relationship to the natural world, reflecting Evergood's interest in social realism and the everyday lives of working-class Americans.
