Sunday with John Sloan at the #1913ArmoryShow

John Sloan's Sunday, Women Drying Their Hair was inspired by a scene that he saw from the window of his 11th floor studio at 35 Sixth Avenue at West Fourth Street. He later recalled the spectacle of women drying their hair on the rooftop of their apartment building as “another of the human comedies which were regularly staged for my enjoyment by the humble roof-top players of Cornelia Street.” http://armory.nyhistory.org/sunday-women-drying-their-hair/
