The Ashcan School was a realist artistic movement that came into prominence in the United States in the early 20th century, best known for works capturing scenes of daily life in poor urban neighborhoods. The movement is most associated with a group known as "The Eight", whose members were Robert Henri, Arthur B. Davies, Maurice Prendergast, Ernest Lawson, William Glackens, Everett Shinn, John French Sloan, and George Luks. The Eight exhibited as a group for the first and only time at the Macbeth Gallery in 1908, but they are still remembered as a group, despite the fact that their work was very diverse in terms of style and subject matter.

The Ashcan School was not an organized group, but rather the term was applied later to a group of artists, including Henri, Glackens, Edward Hopper, (a Henri student), Shinn, Sloan, Luks, George Bellows (a Henri student), Mabel Dwight, and others, who painted urban subject matter, primarily New York's poorer neighborhoods. It was this frequent, though not total, focus on poverty that prompted critics to consider them the fringe of 'modern' art.
