3. Ashcan School – Show the real America The Ashcan School was not an organized group. Their unity consisted of a desire to tell some truths about the city. Robert Henri "wanted art to be akin to journalism. He wanted paint to be as real as mud, as real as the clods of horse-manure and snow, that froze on Broadway in the winter." [1] The first known use of the "ash can" terminology in describing the movement was by Art Young, in 1916. [2] The term was later applied to a group of artists who portrayed urban subject matter, primarily of the gritty life of New York's working class neighborhoods.Broadway [1] Art Young [2]
