Designed to accompany the major loan exhibition of the same name organized by the Palmer Museum of Art, \u003ci\u003eFrom the Rooftops: John Sloan and the Art of a New Urban Space\u003c\/i\u003e examines the allure of rooftop locales for Sloan, as well as for more than a dozen of his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom his early career as an illustrator in Philadelphia to the final years of his life, Sloan nurtured a fascination with what he called the \"roof life of the metropolis.\" Devoted to the importance of this setting in Sloan's oeuvre, \u003ci\u003eFrom the Rooftops\u003c\/i\u003e features paintings, prints, and photographs by Sloan, alongside examples from other notable artists of the time, such as George Ault, William Glackens, Hughie Lee-Smith, Edward Hopper, and Reginald Marsh--artists who were likewise enthralled by \"the city above the city.\" In this book, art historian Adam Thomas explores the pivotal role that New York's City's rooftops played in Sloan's thinking about urban space and places Sloan's work within its broader artistic and cultural context. In his analysis, Thomas considers the liminal status of the rooftop and its complexities as both an extension of the domestic sphere and an escape from it during a period of profound social and architectural transformation in New York City. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing insightful analysis and more than eighty full-color illustrations, this catalog will appeal to art historians and art enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0911209735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780911209730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palmer Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.50h x 8.60w x 0.30d","brand":"Adam Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096792080639,"sku":"9780911209730","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-the-rooftops-adam-thomas-9780911209730","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
