Art Appreciation First Quarter 2007-08: The Ashcan Artists
In the opening months of 1907, a group of New York painters set out to capture the true essence of twentieth-century New York. Instead of the glamorous portrayal of their subject matter practiced by the Old School artists, the ” Eight”, as they would eventually be called decided to paint the alleyways, tenements and “slum dwellers” of modern New York City.
The five principals of the movement will be our focus for the first quarter of this year.
Sept. 3 - 7 : Robert Henri’s Snow in New York
Sept. 10 - 14: Robert Henri’s The Laundress
Sept. 17 - 21: George Luks‘ The Wrestlers
Sept. 24 - 28: William Glackens‘ The Shoppers
Oct. 1 - 5: Everett Shinn’s Dancer in White before the Footlights
Oct. 8 - 12: John Sloan’s South Beach Bathers
Oct. 15 - 19: John Sloan’s Sunday, Women Drying their Hair
