The artwork named “Factory” by artist Maurice Utrillo belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of cityscape.
In the artwork, one observes an urban scene dominated by industrial buildings, reflecting the ambiance of factories situated in a cityscape setting. The buildings are depicted in earthy tones with muted reds, greens, yellows, and grays. The structures show signs of wear, featured by their simple, flat façades and the unembellished surroundings. A tall chimney, emitting smoke, stands prominently, symbolizing the industrial nature of the scene. The absence of human figures, combined with the solemn architecture, invokes a sense of stillness and solitude, characteristic of Utrillo’s style. The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, emphasizing the structural elements and capturing the essence of urban industrial life.
