"City Life: Around the Eight"
2000-08-22 until 2001-01-07
Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, NY, USA

During the first quarter of the 20th century, a group of American painters known as the Eight set out to record--candidly and with a daringly bold technique--the social and physical realities of life in the city.

This installation features a selection of about 25 drawings and small paintings from the Museum's collection by William Glackens, Ernest Lawson, George Luks, Everett Shinn, and John Sloan (all members of the Eight) and their contemporary George Bellows that depict recreational and work activities of city dwellers of different classes.
