The Way They Live
Artist: Thomas Anshutz (American, 1851–1912)
Original Dimensions: 24" x 17"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1879) "Born in Kentucky and raised in West Virginia, Anshutz moved to Brooklyn in 1871. In this painting, the mountain setting may be based on a scene observed on the artist’s travels around West Virginia. Produced after the end of Reconstruction, Anshutz’s depiction of a woman and two children tending a patch of tobacco—a cash crop that could provide some degree of financial independence—suggests a nuanced commentary on their situation. The painting’s title underscores the distance between the presumed White middle-class viewer and the laboring Black subject." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
