In the early 20th century, a group of eight American realist painters based in New York City organized & established an influential American genre in 20th century painting.

Post their 1st exhibition in 1908, one critic labeled their work as belonging to β€˜The Ash Can School’ as an insult. The name stuck.

Everett Shinn - Fifth Avenue - 1910

This critique stemmed from the gritty urban subject matter and the preferred dark color palettes (scraped from the bottom of an ash can).

β€œThe Eight” like many innovative & influential groups of artists rebelled against the academic & popular aesthetic traditions of the day (pretty pastoral scenes & tableaux from mythology).

β€œThe Eight” established their own artistic society in New York & set out to create a uniquely American painting genre competitive with European standards.

The Ash Can School was more revolutionary in its subject matter (gritty urban reality of the poor & disenfranchised) rather than its style.

These artists believed what was real and true in life was what was beautiful and what constituted β€œart.”

Ash Can School paintings have a loose and spontaneous style, very different from the polished techniques taught in the American art academies of the period. (#PreRaphaelite/Neo-Classical)

A Greater Morning - Arthur B. Davies

🌿🌟🌚🌟🌿🌚🌟🌿🌟🌚🌟🌿

For example, Ash Can painters preferred a β€˜slap-dash, rapid handling of the paint left individual brushstrokes applied thickly.’

George Luks - Allen Street - 1905

🌿🌟🌚🌟🌿🌚🌟🌿🌟🌚🌟🌿

Ash Can painters preferred a dark & subdued palette, a result of Robert Henri’s trip to Europe, where he became influenced by the work of Goya, Velazquez, Hals and Manet.

Ernest Lawson - The Pigeon Coop

Luks, Sloan, Glackens, and Shinn worked as newspaper illustrator-cartoonists & found inspiration capturing everyday life they found about the streets of NYC.

The artists presented unidealized views of city life in the saloons, tenements, pool halls, and slums

β€œSome members adopted a rough, realistic style, utilizing flashy brushwork on a dark ground in a manner reminiscent of Γ‰douard Manet & Gustave Courbet.”

Prendergast enjoyed the decorative patterns of color he found in the work of the French Nabi group in his interpretations of the American landscape.

Davies painted dreamy, twilight scenes evolved from romantic allegories rather than from contemporary life.

β€œIn 1908, as a protest against prevailing restrictive academic exhibition procedures the β€œEight” organized a historic exhibition that became a symbol of rebellion in American & modern art.”

β€œThe show was revolutionary in that it was the first exhibit that was self-organized & self-selected by a group of related artists, without a jury & prizes.”
