  • A man in a blue work shirt stands on a bridge between railroad tracks at a gas plant. While his left hand rests casually on his hip, his right hand is holding a cigarette. The worker appears proud and self-assured in front of the expansive factory grounds. Pipes, steel and iron railings, and long chimneys emanating exhaust dominate the dark background, in which flames can also be seen. Oskar Lautischar studied at the Vienna Academy, where he also passed exams on reinforced concrete and statistics. In 1949, he submitted this work to the spring exhibition at the Vienna Künstlerhaus. However, in the end, a politically harmless landscape was put on display instead of the gas worker.
