JOHN SLOAN A Thirst for Art.
Etching, 1939. 100x152 mm; 3 7/8x6 inches, full margins. Fourth state (of 4), printed to benefit the Society of Independent Artists. Edition of 100. Signed, titled and inscribed "4th state" and "Chas. White imp." in pencil, lower margin. Printed by Charles White, New York. A very good impression.
"One of those exhibition opening cocktail parties. Enthusiasm resulting from the lifting of prohibition prevails over interest in art," and, "They don't see the pictures at all, knocking them crooked on the wall with their shoulders," were Sloan's comments on this etching. Morse 306.
