1942.42 John Sloan, Copyist at the Metropolitan Museum


GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The pursuit of culture receives affectionate teasing in this work by John Sloan, leader of the Ashcan school, the group of artists in early 20th-century New York who embraced the urban scene. In the rarified world of the museum, all types of people mix together—a situation that doubtless delighted Sloan, a dedicated socialist and keen observer of the fun and foibles of the modern city.
