John Sloan

Sloan was born in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania in 1871, and studied with Robert Henri. He did illustrations for newspapers, books, and magazines, eventually becoming the art editor for The Masses, a magazine concerned with social issues and advocating social reform. Sloan is considered an outstanding graphic artist and was a member of The Eight or Ashcan School, producing images of life among the working people of New York. Never using a camera to collect ideas for his illustrations, paintings or etchings, Sloan, composed his work from his observations of everyday life on the streets of New York.
