Description:
Free during gallery hours. Sunday through Friday Noon - 4 p.m., Wednesday evenings 6 p.m.- 8 p.m.
During the first decades of the twentieth century, artists John Sloan (1871-1951) and Jerome Myers (1867-1940) lived and painted in New York City. Turning their attention to subjects such as immigrants shopping from push carts on the Lower East Side and families asleep on city rooftops, they were among the first to challenge what had been considered the proper subjects for art at the time. Soon recognized as painters of the Ashcan School, the artists developed a lasting friendship, grounded in their shared humanist ideals and their love of the city. Co-sponsored by the Judaic Studies Program at the University of Scranton, this exhibition features paintings, drawings, and prints on loan from the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; Kraushaar Galleries, LLC, New York, NY; Ken Ratner, and Barry Downes, New York, NY; the Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, DE; the Madron Gallery, LLC, Chicago, IL; and Stevens Fine Art, Phoenix, AZ. It is accompanied by a full-color catalogue featuring essays by Ken Ratner, guest curator and collector; and Dr. Bennard Perlman, noted author and scholar of the Ashcan School.
