About the Item
Wonderful fashion drawing of flapper by Helen Farr Sloan (American, 1911 - 2005), circa 1930. Signed lower edge "Helen Farr." Presented in new mat. Unframed. I
mage size: 10"H x 6"W.
Born in New York City where she remained active, Helen Sloan was a painter, writer, teacher and theater set and costume designer. She graduated from The Brearley School in 1929 and then studied at the Art Students League with John Sloan, Harry Wickey, Charles Locke and Boardman Robinson. She took anatomy classes at Cornell University Medical School, studied weaving, pottery, metalwork, wood carving and jewelry making at the Craft Students League, and then made four study trips to Europe between 1927 and 1936.
In 1944, she married John Sloan, whose writings on the philosophy of art she had edited and who had been her teacher. From 1940 to 1944, she was director of the Society of Independent Artists and entered each of their sixteen annual exhibitions from 1929 through 1944. She was an active member of the Art Students League, the Highlands Art Association, and the Petersham, Massachusetts Handicraft Guild.
In New Mexico, where she and John Sloan lived in Santa Fe, she was co-founder of the New Mexico Alliance for the Arts.
In New York, Sloan spent eight years designing costumes and sets for the King-Coit Children's Theatrical School in New York and chaired the art deparment at the Nightingale-Bamford School for Girls.
After her husband's death in 1951, Helen Sloan devoted herself to turning his estate into a philanthropic instrument. The largest benefactor was the Delaware Art Museum, which recieved more than 5000 works including painting representing every phase of his career and his archival papers. With these acquisitions, the Museum became the leading repository for the study of Sloan. In honor of the ongoing support by Helen Farr Sloan, museum representatives named its library the Helen Farr Sloan Library.
