John Little had an interest in depicting historically working-class neighbourhoods. Considering his prolific career spanning three quarters of a century, we are able to document the many changes and developments in these areas through his work, including the Sud-Ouest, and in this instance, the Centre-Sud borough. This painting was completed in 2011, following significant gentrification and social change, as the Centre-Sud was growing to be a sought-after area for housing and nightlife.
