Photographer: John Sloan
Taken: 1907
Caption: The Haymarket, Sixth Avenue
Additional Description: "The 1908 exhibition in which John Sloan’s The Haymarket, Sixth Avenue was shown drew headlines in New York.... Exhibited with the work of his colleagues in an artist group called The Eight, The Haymarket was especially provocative because it showed lavishly dressed women entering a well-known dance hall unaccompanied by male companions. These women were independent and pleasure-seeking, defying society’s expectations. This type of realism in art shocked many viewers who were accustomed to idealizing and genteel subjects." - Brooklyn Museum
