The Lone Tenement is one of the gritty studies of New York's urban poor that helped to launch Bellows' career as a young artist. On moving to the city in 1904 he became a student of Robert Henri, a leading figure in the Ashcan School, who "wanted art to be akin to journalism...wanted paint to be as real as mud, as the clods of horse-shit and snow, that froze on Broadway in the winter." Bellows therefore sought to depict American society in all its stark reality, unadorned by the sentimentality and romanticism that had characterized Victorian era representations of the poor and working class.
