Shirtless worker guiding a coal box, 1937

From a low angle a worker in a white shirt bends into the side of a wagon; then a young man, stripped to the waist, grasps the chains of a coal box between the wagons and pushes it into place, a factory chimney behind him, and the loaded box rises in silhouette against the bright sky. The low viewpoint and the bare torso against the sky recall the heroic worker of the posters, but the scene is ordinary heavy labour on a Rhine quay.

Period: c. June 26, 1937–October 8, 1937
