# Issy-les-Moulineaux, chantier pour la construction du métro

By [Maximilien Luce](<https://art.jpamorgan.com/artists/maximilien-luce.md>), 1931–1934.

A panoramic metro construction site extends Luce's lifelong interest in collective labor and urban transformation into the 1930s. Machinery, excavated ground, and workers spread across the unusually wide format.
