Born in Loch Haven, Pennsylvania, Sloan studied at the Spring Garden Institute in Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine arts in the 1890s. After a period as an artist at Philadelphia newspapers he began to paint seriously in 1897 at the encouragement of Robert Henri. After moving to New York he organized a group called The Eight, which included Sloan, Henri and Arthur Davies among others. In the 1930s Sloan's style changed to a preoccupation with the female nude, in which the sculptural forms are handled in a complex technique of underpainting, glazing and linework.

Russian sculptor, chiefly active in France, where he formed a deep admiration for Rodin, but Cubism made an immediate impact on his style. His cubist experiments maintained an individual, expressive quality and in the 1920s he developed a more curvilinear, opened-out form of figurative work, which evolved gradually into a monumental and dramatic manner.
