Gustave CaillebotteΒ - The Floor Scrapers (1875-6)
Original on top, later version below
βDespite the effort Caillebotte put into the painting, it was rejected by Franceβs most prestigious art exhibition, The Salon, in 1875. The depiction of working-class people in their trade, not fully clothed, shocked the jurors and was deemed a βvulgar subject matter.βΒ
The images of the floor scrapers came to be associated with Degasβs paintings of washerwomen, also presented at the same exhibition and similarly scorned as βvulgarββ.
