John Sloan in Philadelphia and New York
Welcome back! This focused exhibition celebrates the return of several of John Sloan’s works, which have been traveling as part of Seeing the City: Sloan’s New York since early 2008. Sloan made his hometown of Philadelphia the subject of many of his works before moving to New York in 1904. His images of pedestrians and public places helped define New York City in the popular imagination. |
