Like other major art museums, CMA collects and exhibits artworks from around the world. Even so, it also holds many works that depict Cleveland. Carl Gaertner was a Cleveland native who attended Cleveland School of Art (later Cleveland Institute of Music). A number of Gaertner's compositions, including this one, depict the city's industrial Flats. In this oil painting, he evokes mill workers on their lunch break standing around a horse-drawn wagon of the Star Bakery, a thriving Cleveland business at that time. | Creator: Carl Gaertner | Date: ca. 1926 | Source: Cleveland Museum of Art (CC0)Download Original File
