John Sloan's New York

Heather Coyle, John Sloan, Joyce K. Schiller

"John Sloan's New York tales a close look at early twentieth-century New York City through the eyes of the Ashcan School artist John Sloan (1871-1951). Drawing on archival resources, John Sloan's New York investigates the artist's contribution to the iconography of the city. The authors situate Sloan's paintings within the geography and social fabric of New York, and the contributors to the volume investigate a variety of topics, including Sloan's experience walking the streets of New York, his interest in the city's shop windows and sidewalks, his fascination with moving pictures and cinema aesthetics, and his relationship with Robert Henri."--Jacket.
