\The Ashcan School was a group of early 20th-century American realist painters who focused on documenting everyday life in urban areas, particularly New York City. They rejected the polished academic style of their predecessors and instead embraced a more realistic, gritty, and unglamorized depiction of city life. Key members included Robert Henri, George Bellows, William Glackens, George Luks, Everett Shinn, and John Sloan.
