About the Item

Sloan, John. RENDEZVOUS (Small). Morse 227. Etching, 1926. Second State, with the pupil added to the left eye, The published state, titled "Miss Angna Enters," and signed and dated 1926 in the plate, titled "Enters 1927," inscribed "100 proofs" and signed in pencil. Only 60 were printed, of which 40 were printed by Sloan for use as his and Dolly's New Year's card for 1927, and 20 were printed for him by Ernest Roth at a later date. As Sloan's Holiday cards usually bear a handwritten greeting message, this is likely one of the Roth prints. 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches, 81 x 82 mm. In excellent condition. A larger and more elaborately rendered version of this subject was also done at the same time (Morse 228). This print is the second of three etchings Sloan made of Angna Enters in performance which he used as New Year's cards in the years 1926, 1927, and 1928. Additionally, between 1926 and 1930, he made five other prints using her as the subject: Rendezvous (Large), M.228, Odalisque, M.232, Antique A La Francaise, M.239, Pavanna, M.244, and The Green Hour, M.245.

FRANKIE AND JOHNNIE or HIM
By John Sloan
Located in Portland, ME
Sloan, John (American, 1871-1951). FRANKIE AND JOHNNIE. or HIM Morse 236. Etching, 1928. Edition of 100 (but only 50 were printed, by Platt). Dated and Titled in the plate, and Signed in pencil by Sloan and inscribed "100 Proofs," and also signed by Peter Platt. With tack holes and deckled edges. 5 x 8 inches, 126 x 203 mm. (plate), 8 1/2 x 12 1/4 inches (sheet). In excellent condition. From Morse: " A small chorus singing 'Frankie and Johnnie' crowds the tiny stage of the Provincetown Players Theater in MacDougal Street. An episode from E. E. Cummings' intelligent and entertaining production, HIM." (Sloan writing in 1945). "HIM" is about as thrilling an evening's entertainment as I have ever experienced. I liked it thoroughly -- I do not claim to understand it -- I do not believe that a work of art can be, nor need be understood, even by the maker. It seemed to me to be a glimpse inside the cranium of an artist-poet." (Sloan in a letter to James Light, the director of the play) Though Morse says the stars were Hemsley Williams and Goldye Steiner, it was actually Hemliey Winfield (1907 - 1934), the founder of the New Negro Art Theater Dance Group. This company was very successful and highly regarded. It appeared in the Metropolitan Opera's premier of Louis Gruenberg's setting of Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor...
