John Sloan's Illustrations in Magazines and Books
By Elizabeth H. Hawks
Published by the Delaware Art Museum, 1993
Paperback, 272 pages
This is a compilation of illustrations done by John Sloan for publication in magazines and books. Of the over 950 works, 70% of them were completed between 1904 (when he moved to New York City to pursue a career as a freelance illustrator) and 1916 (when he began to teach at the Art Students League).
Many of Sloan’s illustrations were commissioned to accompany a specific story. However, Sloan also submitted cover designs, drawings, and etchings that were independent of any text. This catalog lists both storytelling and independent works that publishers commissioned. |
