About John Sloan
John Sloan was born in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, in August 1871 and grew up in Philadelphia, where he worked as a newspaper illustrator through the 1890s and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Anshutz. There he met Robert Henri, who urged him to paint the life around him, and in 1904 he followed Henri to New York. From his studios in Chelsea and Greenwich Village he painted and etched the city's back yards, rooftops, saloons, ferries and shop windows, and in 1908 he showed with Henri, Glackens and the rest of The Eight at the Macbeth Gallery. He sent two paintings to the Armory Show in 1913, was art editor of the socialist magazine The Masses, taught for more than twenty years at the Art Students League and from 1919 spent his summers painting in Santa Fe. He died in Hanover, New Hampshire, in September 1951. His New York pictures of the 1900s and 1910s, warm, quick and full of people, print well for a living room, kitchen or hallway.
