About the workAll living things were removed from this barren factory landscape. The Cologne painter Heinrich Hoerle took a socially critical look at the living conditions of workers in industrialised society at the beginning of the 20th century. This was also the concern of the Kölner Progressiven (Cologne Progressives), a group of artists he founded together with Franz Wilhelm Seiwert. At the end of the 1920s, surreal elements increasingly found their way into Hoerle's paintings, including the pear here, which serves to question space and ist proportions.
