Sloan, John (French)

Sloan, John (French)
born Aug. 2, 1871, Lock Haven, Pa., U.S.
died Sept. 7, 1951, Hanover, N.H.

U.S. artist.

He worked as a commercial newspaper artist in Philadelphia, where he studied with Robert Henri. He followed Henri to New York City, where in 1908 with six others they exhibited as The Eight. Sloan's realistic urban paintings gave rise to the epithet Ash Can school. Works such as Sunday, Women Drying Their Hair (1912) and Backyards, Greenwich Village (1914) are sympathetic portrayals of working men and women; occasionally he evoked a mood of romantic melancholy.
