New York City Life

Prints by John Sloan

John Sloan was a contemporary of George Bellows, and his work – like that of his fellow Ashcanners – provides fascinating historical insights into Manhattan life in a period of rapid social change. These rare prints, a gift to the Barber from Delaware Art Museum prompted by our 2016 exhibition Bellows and the Body, are the only complete set outside of the US, and also have an important place in the history of fine-art printmaking.
