John Sloan's Lecture
Peggy BaconAmerican, 1895 - 1987
Peggy Bacon took several classes at the Art Students League in New York from painter John Sloan (1871-1951). Sloan is perhaps best known as a member of "The Eight," a group of artists formed in 1907 to protest the restrictive exhibition policies of the New York-based National Academy of Design. His candid yet often humorous paintings and prints of daily life in New York had a major impact on Bacon, who approached her subject matter in a similar manner.
