Routledge New York Scene: 1906-1913 John Sloan - Routledge Book

Explore a unique window into early 20th-century America with New York Scene: 1906-1913 by John Sloan. As a member of "The Eight," a major group in American painting history, Sloan was a versatile artist who worked as an illustrator and cartoonist. This collection provides a look into his deep interest in the social issues of his time, from the people in the parks to the policies of the country. This work is built upon a foundation of personal history. Sloan kept a near-daily diary for eight years, originally to entertain his first wife, Dolly. The materials included here come from the Sloan collection housed at the Delaware Art Center. These archives were made available by his second wife and widow, Helen Fan Sloan, who passed down his diaries, letters, notes, and drawings to Bruce St. John. This book offers a perspective on the people across the street and the evolving social landscape of New York during a transformative era.
