Renganeschi's Saturday Night, John Sloan, 1912, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art
John Sloan often explored the leisure activities of working-class women and the changing social mores of the 20th century. Here he focused on three women who sit together at the central table of a popular Italian restaurant in New York City. By showing the women celebrating a night out on the town, the artist emphasized their newfound freedom to socialize in public spaces without the need for male escorts. Although he indicated their working-class status through their “unladylike” gestures—legs wrapped around their chairs and pinkies flared in the air—Sloan did not cast judgment on the women’s relaxed behavior. His informal style and loose brushwork enliven this scene of urban leisure with a sense of immediacy and action. Gift of Mary Otis Jenkins

10.5.18 Lunchtime drawing: A too-tall and spindly Washington Square Arch sketch dedicated to the “Free and Independent Republic of Washington Square”—declared as such atop the Arch on the wintry night of January 23, 1917, by 6 artists who called themselves the “Arch Conspirators,” including John Sloan, Marcel Duchamp and “Woe is Me” Gertrude Drick, that made their way to the top of the Arch via a hobbit-sized stairwell door and threw a party up there. Bohemians!
