Trade Review“
John Sloan: Drawing on Illustration is a model of theoretical sophistication, graceful writing, depth of research, and brilliant analysis. Michael Lobel shows how Sloan negotiated the tension between painting and popular commodity imagery, modern and commercial models of creativity, and hand and mechanical production.”—Jennifer L.
