Everett Shinn (1876 - 1953) from the Peter A. Juley and Son Collection

Everett Shinn   When Shinn moved to New York in 1897, he too went to work for the New York World. Like Glackens, he began receiving commissions for magazine illustrations and by 1900, along with Glackens and Luks, was considered among the country's most promising young illustrators. His first solo exhibition, at the Boussod, Valadon gallery in 1900, featured pastel drawings of life in the city's tenement districts and portraits of several theater personalities. A financial and critical success, the show launched Shinn's career, and over the next five years, Shinn's work was featured in four different New York galleries.
