Book excerpt: John French Sloan (August 2, 1871 - September 7, 1951) was a U.S. artist. As a member of The Eight, a group of American artists, he became a leading figure in the Ashcan School of realist artists. He was known for his urban genre painting and ability to capture the essence of neighborhood life in New York City, often through his window. Sloan has been called "the premier artist of the Ashcan School who painted the inexhaustible energy and life of New York City during the first decades of the twentieth century," and an "early twentieth-century realist painter who embraced the principles of socialism and placed his artistic talents at the service of those beliefs.
Download or read book New York Scene written by John Sloan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of "The Eight"—a major group in the history of American painting—John Sloan was also an illustrator and cartoonist. Sloan kept an almost daily diary for eight years, for the most part to entertain his first wife, Dolly. Sloan's second wife and widow, Helen Fan Sloan, turned over the diaries and his letters, as well as notes and drawings to Bruce St. John of the Delaware Art Center, which houses the Sloan collection. John Sloan was interested in every social issue that went on around him: the people across the street, the people in the parks, and the policies of his country. He and Dolly entertained almost every night, though they were so poor that often the only dish was spaghetti, and their guests included Robert Henri (Sloan's mentor) and Walt Kuhn, Walter Pach, Rollin Kirby, Stuart Davis (and his father), Alexander Calder (and his father), Rockwell Kent, John Butler Yeats, William Glackens, and George Luks. Even if John Sloan had not been such an important figure in the American art world, these diaries would be splendid reading: they reveal a perceptive man and the city that fascinated him during one of its most interesting epochs. The editor writes that Sloan "was a direct and honest man, not afraid of expressing his opinions." This fascinating, unique, first-person view of New York City is a masterpiece. This edition includes a new introduction by Herbert I. London, providing insight into the social and political vision that animated Sloan's art.

Book excerpt: "This book is the most comprehensive pictorial survey of Sloan's work to date. Over 120 black and white reproductions and 48 full color plates include the early newspaper illustrations, the decorative posters, the carefully modeled, solid forms of the early portraits, the earthy realism of the city-life paintings, the vigor of the New York etchings and paintings depicting “the seething tenderloin,” the graphic power of the socialist drawings, the calmer landscapes of Gloucester and the scenes of New Mexico, and finally the culmination of his style in the vivid intensity of the late nudes and portraits. Mr. Scott’s essay documents the full flavor and variety of Sloan’s artistic life: his first illustrations for greeting cards and valentines in Philadelphia; the newspaper days and the artists who moved from paper to paper and who were later to form the nucleus of The Eight; the move to New York, the Independents, the Armory Show, and the great artistic revolution; the call to socialism; the trips away; and the ultimate struggle for artistic realization."--Dust jacket flap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a web-design drone, and serendipity, sheer curiosity and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey have landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than its name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything. Instead they “check out” impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he has embarked on a complex analysis of the customers’ behaviour and roped his friends into helping him figure out just what’s going on. But once they take their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the secrets extend far beyond the walls of the bookstore. Evoking both the fairy-tale charm of Haruki Murakami and the enthusiastic novel-of-ideas wizardry of Neal Stephenson or Umberto Eco, Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore is exactly what it sounds like—an establishment you have to enter and will never want to leave.
