Eric Sloane, Attributed (American, 1905/10 - 1985): The Model A. Black and white ink on paper, signed upper right, framed. This item is accompanied by a hand written poem by the artist.
A prolific member of the Hudson River School tradition of painting, Sloane is generally accepted as an artistic genius. Over his lifetime, he wrote thirty eight books. It is estimated that he created nearly 15,000 paintings, mostly oil on masonite. He painted one almost every day, often before lunch, striving to do better than the day before. Later in his life, he bought back or traded for some of his earlier work, which he destroyed by fire, contending it was inferior.
