From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
English War Work: Planing Big Shells is a 1916 by Joseph Pennell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a large, dimly lit room with a long, sloping ramp in the center. The room is filled with machinery and people working together. The ramp is lined with large, round objects that appear to be shells. The painting has a lot of dark shadows and bright highlights, which gives it a dramatic feel. The people in the painting are all focused on their work, and the overall atmosphere is one of industry and effort.
