• Resumen

  • The year 1907 was an important one for John Sloan, as he executed a substantial body of paintings in preparation for a major exhibition the following year. In key works from that period, Sloan peopled the urban scenes for which he is best known with figures and objects that refer back to the medium of painting. These motifs are given added meaning in their relation both to the urban crowd and to newly emergent entertainments like the moving pictures. Insight into the broader aims of Sloan’s artistic project is drawn from his commercial illustration work as well.
