  • Yeats at Petitpas' 1910/C
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 John Sloan American, 1871 - 1951 Yeats at Petitpas' 1910/c. 1914 oil on canvas overall: 66.2 × 81.28 cm (26 1/16 × 32 in.) framed: 80.96 × 96.36 × 6.51 cm (31 7/8 × 37 15/16 × 2 9/16 in.) Inscription: lower right: John Sloan Corcoran Collection (Museum Purchase, Gallery Fund) 2014.136.54 ENTRY In August 1910 the realist painter John Sloan began this group portrait of regulars at Petitpas’, a French restaurant and boardinghouse in the Chelsea district of Manhattan. The work joined other Ashcan school artists’ depictions of casual dining experiences in urban eateries that focused on portraiture and narrative, such as At Mouquin’s by William Glackens (American, 1870 - 1938) [fig. 1]. [1] The Ashcan school, informally led by Robert Henri (American, 1865 - 1929), generally focused on the everyday life of the working classes rather than idealized views of the city. George Luks (American, 1866 - 1933) and George Bellows (American, 1882 - 1925) completed a watercolor and a print, respectively, featuring Petitpas’ as well [fig. 2], but Sloan’s large image in oil is the most ambitious of the three. [2] The scene takes place in the enclosed backyard of the restaurant, where the dining room was located in the hot summer months. The party gathers around a table placed under an awning decorated with a French flag. [3] At the head sits John Butler Yeats, smoking and sketching. Yeats, the Irish portrait painter and father of the poet William Butler Yeats, lived at Petitpas’ from 1909 until his death in 1922.

  • Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection
    THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE PRESENTS Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection Peggy Bacon Laurent Charcoal on paper, 16 ¾” x 13 ¾” Margaret Frances "Peggy" Bacon (b. 1895-d. 1987), an American artist specializing in illustration, painting, and writing. Born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, she began drawing as a toddler (around eighteen months), and by the age of 10 she was writing and illustrating her own books. Bacon studied at the Art Students League from 1915-1920, where her artistic talents truly blossomed under the tutelage of her teacher John Sloan. Artists Reginald Marsh and Alexander Brook (whom she would go on to marry) were part of her artistic circle during her time at the League. Bacon was famous for her humorous caricatures and ironic etchings and drawings of celebrities of the 1920s and 1930s. She both wrote and illustrated many books, and provided artworks for many other people’s publications, in addition to regularly exhibiting her drawings, paintings, prints, and pastels. In addition to her work as a graphic designer, Bacon was a highly accomplished teacher for over thirty years. Her works appeared in numerous magazine publications including Vanity Fair, Mademoiselle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Dial, the Yale Review, and the New Yorker. Her vast output of work included etchings, lithographs, and her favorite printmaking technique, drypoint. Bacon’s illustrations have been included in more than 64 children books, including The Lionhearted Kitten. Bacon’s prints are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, all in New York.

He and Sloan met in December 1892. While Sloan never studied formally with Henri, he acknowldged him as his "father in art." Although their paths diverged after the period covered by the diaries, he and Sloan were very close in 1906. Henri's wife, Linda, had died the month before the dairies began and Henri, very lonely, visited the Sloans often. Henri's name was originally Robert Henry Cozad, but the family abandoned the use of "Cozad." His father and mother adopted the surname "Lee" and Henri's brother John became "Frank L. Southrn."

  • The Artist As Social Critic
    THE ARTIST AS SOCIAL CRITIC: JOHN SLOAN AND THOMAS HART BENTON by Andrea Tarantino A Thesis/Project Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Social Science Emphasis in American History May, 2005 THE ARTIST AS SOCIAL CRITIC: JOHN SLOAN AND THOMAS HART BENTON by Andrea Tarantino Approved by the Master’s Thesis Committee: Rodney Sievers, Major Advisor Date Gayle Olson-Raymer, Committee Member Date Delores McBroome, Committee Member Date Delores McBroome, Graduate Coordinator, MASS – Teaching American History Cohort Date Donna E. Schafer, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Artistic expression reflects and influences the time, place and culture from which it springs. Many artists were inspired by the revolutionary optimism prevalent in the early twentieth century and viewed their art as a tool for changing society. In this study I plan to show how some artists have been politically active, chronicling their times and presenting a vision for a better, reformed America. This project focuses on two artists who represented the American experience during the first half of the twentieth century. Both had long careers and all were concerned with the social and economic issues of their day. John Sloan was a member of the so called Ashcan school of art. He portrayed the life of the common worker at the turn of the century. Sloan’s illustrations for the radical journal The Masses were among the most expressive pieces of political propaganda ever made in this country. Thomas Hart Benton was primarily concerned with the social and economic struggles of the working class person, especially during the Great Depression and New Deal era.

The Aspen Institute’s Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation (PSI) seeks to inform and maximize the impact of grantmaking foundations, nonprofit organizations, social enterprises, and public-private partnerships through leadership development initiatives, convenings, and communications so that each can contribute to the good society at home and abroad. The Program’s theory of change rests on the premise that if their leaders have clarity about their values, are collaborative in their approach to problem-solving, and are aware of the strategies and potential partnerships available to them, they are more likely to succeed in advancing the social good. The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization with a mission to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues.

Bancroft Collection of Pre-Raphaelite Art at the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, Delaware, is unique. No other art collection is devoted specifically to this important nineteenth century movement, and it is doubtful that there are many other collections so thoroughly documented. The collection came about through the personal taste and enthusiasm of Samuel Bancroft, Jr. (1840- 1915), a Wilmington Quaker industrialist, and his family and business connection with Manchester, England. Bancroft was the son of Joseph Bancroft (1803-1874) of Rockford (now part of the city of Wilmington), who emigrated from Lancashire to the U.S.A. in 1824. Joseph was following his brother John, who had emigrated in 1821, and his parents, John and Elizabeth (Wood) Bancroft who, with their other eleven children had emigrated in 1822.

  • John Sloan's Newspaper Career: an Alternative to Art School
    John Sloan's Newspaper Career: An Alternative to Art School ELIZABETH H. HAWKES N THE 1890S aspiring artists often lacked the financial means to pursue conventional art training, which entailed lengthy I study at American and European academies. For John Sloan (1871-1951), gaining employment as a newspaper artist served as an alternative art education. Sloan spent twelve years as an artist working for two Philadelphia newspapers, the Inquirer and the Press, with a brief three-month hiatus at the New York Herald. He began his first newspaper job in 1892 at the age of twenty. SLOAN'S EARLY YEARS John Sloan was born in the central Pennsylvania lumber town of Lock Haven. His family moved to Philadelphia when he was about six.' His father, a photographer and cabinetmaker in Lock Haven, hoped for a better business opportunity and found em- ployment as a salesman in a stationery business. The Sloans lived I wish to acknowledge the suppon of Helen Earr Sloan; the John Sloan Memorial Foundation; Harriet Menieger, Lihrarian, of the Helen Farr Sloan Library at the Del- aware Art Museum; and Maiy E Holahan, Registrar, Delaware Art Museum. 1.
