John Sloan

The editors of Touchstone Magazine hired one of John Sloan‘s (1871-1951) groupies to interview him for one of their feature articles. It is an informative interview and there are a number of seldom seen sketches reproduced; the opening paragraphs give one a sense of what 1920s Greenwich Village was like at night, although one comes away feeling that the man could do no wrong. John Sloan’s friend, Robert Henri (1865-1929), when given the chance also failed to make any nasty comments about the painter.
