John Sloan (1871-1951) spent the greater part of his life in New York, living and working in or around Greenwich Village, and teaching at the Art Students League. He not only painted the city, but did a number of first-rate etchings - etchings, as he said, of "neighborhoods... the kind of people who lived, worked and played in the Chelsea district, the Tenderloin around Sixth Avenue, then Fifth Avenue, the parks, etc." -- Introduction from back cover
