Sculptor Max Kalish described his motivation behind creating The Bread Line : "My interest in making this group came to me gradually through years of concern with the question of unemployment and poverty." The sculpture's six figures were modeled separately, then arranged together to make the final composition. The artist is buried in Mayfield Cemetery, Cleveland.
