RIVERSIDE DR. McHENRY art. topics presented by the Philadelphia College of Art They were called the Ashcan School, The Eight, The Independents, The Eight Secessionists, and, by some. The Gang. As a group. The Eight rebelled against the dull, insipid, redundant art that was being produced in America in the late 19th and early 20th century. They reacted against the tradition and exclusiveness of established art academies and their subjective judgement, especially the National Academy which excluded most of the progressive artists from their 1875 annual exhibit. The Eight who formed the nucleus of a larger group of emerging Amt :can artists included John Sloan, William Glackens, Ernest Lawson, George Luks, Maurice Prendergast, Everett Shinn, Arthur B. Davies and Robert Henri, an artist and teacher, who was the leader of this inner circle. Four of these artists originally came together in Philadelphia where they were newspaper illustrators in the days before photographs replaced "on the spot drawings" of news events. They met in the studio of Robert Henri and discussed the arts, politics, ethics and religion-punctuating these serious discussions with spectacular stag parties. The newspaper experiences of Luks, Shinn, Sloan and Glackens developed their visual training to an acute degree - they learned to observe, capture movement and gesture before they were MARRIAGE LICENSES Herbert H.

The vivid characterizations of city life, especially the work of John Sloan, later earned them the Ashcan School label. The term was first hinted at in an interview with Robert Henri in the New York World. He said, "It takes more than love df art to see character and meaning and even beauty in a crowd of east side children tagging after a street piano or hanging over garbage cans." Later, cartoonist Art Young was quoted as saying, "They want to run pictures of ash cans and girls hitching up their skirts on Horatio Street." This comment followed an argument with John Sloan on the status of art in America. The Philadelphians had gravitated to New York. Robert Henri kept in touch with all his Philadelphia f r i e n d s b u t h a d a l s o cultivated a circle of New York artists, writers and critics Who met regularly at M o u q u i n ' s , a F r e n c h restaurant at 28th Street and 6th Avenue and later, at Cafe Francis. It was at these meetings that Henri and his associates began to discuss the possibility of an exhibit of their own. This decision came before the final break b e t w e e n t h e N a t i o n a l Academy and progressive American painters which erupted in the spring of 1907 when the Academy r e j e c t e d a n u m b e r o f p a i n t i n g s b y t h e Independents from their spring exhibition and elected only three out of thirty-six DIVORCES Diane L.

Six of the future Eight decided to sponsor a rival exhibit at William Macbeth's galleries, 450 Fifth Avenue. The exhibit opened on Feb. 3, 1908 and proved to be a fantastic success. It received good publicity, drew about seven thousand people and sold over $4000 worth of pictures. The show was significant mainly because it was the first successful presentation of a new kind of art in America and it effectively challenged the authority and prestige of the A c a d e m y .
