Ordinary people and the deprived classes have always been the favorite protagonists in Leon Alex's work. Usually, these works had a political component, and The Village is no exception.

In this image you can see an allegory of the Romanian interwar village. Unlike a simple rural landscape, the artist chooses to build a place for the people who occupy it, not only for geographical relief, houses and institutions like the church. In the typical socialist spirit, the emphasis is on ordinary people, the essential constituent element of society.

Among the characters often encountered in representations of the Romanian village, such as the peasant with the mustache and hat, the Jewish artist also highlights the important Jewish presence in the interwar Romanian space.
