The illustrations of Everett Shinn and George Luks
Abstract
dc:description"Everett Shinn and George Luks established their place in American art through the kinds of paintings they showed with ""The Eight"" in 1908. Their works, as well as those of the other realists in the group--Robert Henri, John Sloan, and William Glackens, focused on themes of urban realism. Such subject matter broke with the more genteel art fashionable at the time. Shinn, Luks, Sloan and Glackens had begun their careers as illustrators, working for newspapers as artist-reporters, and turning to magazines when photography made their newspaper jobs obsolete."
