About the Item

John Sloan (1871-1951) etching created 1916. Edition: 100 Titled: “McSorley’s Back Room” Plate size: 5 1/4" H x 7 " W Sheet size: 7 1/2" H x 10 3/8" W In excellent condition, unframed. Portrait of John McSorley and two friends at McSorley's old house and home, the current "McSorley's Ale House". McSorley died before Sloan ever visited the bar the print is based on a memory told by his son of his father always sitting there in the sun. John Sloan was born in Pennsylvania and studied at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts with Thomas Anshutz and Robert Henri whose studio was the social hub for his "black gang" Sloan, William Glackens, George Luks, and Everett Shinn the fellow artist-reporters on the Philadelphia Press. Sloan sketched news events on the spot, making the record a photograph now provides. By 1898, Sloan was working for a New York City newspaper, and by 1904, all five were in New York City. Sloan never studied in Europe but he did teach at the Art Students League 1914-1926 and 1935-1937. In 1919 he began to summer in Santa Fe where he bought an adobe in 1920. He stayed active in the New York scene and died in New Hampshire in 1951.
