The Ashcan School artists primarily focused on themes of urban street life and working-class leisure. They depicted the realities of everyday life in America's cities during the early 20th century, showcasing the experiences of ordinary people in both their work and leisure activities. This included scenes of bustling streets, parks, and various aspects of urban life, often highlighting the vibrancy and struggles of the lower and working classes. Other themes, such as women working at home and in factories, were also explored by some artists, but the main focus was on the dynamic life of the city and its inhabitants.
