| Curator's Comment: Our current special is a 24 x 36 oil on canvas with a popular Ash Can School theme, focused on a young woman drying her hair for free in pre-blow dryer times. Philadelphia-based Charles Andrew Taylor (1910-1975) is clearly remembering the John Sloan masterpiece showing the same subject, which broke ground for the Eight's emphasis on Social Realism. Taylor studied at the National Academy of Design and won a Benjamin Altman Prize in the Landscape category for the work in 1954. It was subsequently exhibited at the NAD 130th annual exhibition for 1955. The Academy then purchased the painting through the Henry Ward Ranger Fund and subsequently gifted it to the Montclair Art Museum, and we acquired the painting following its deaccession. Taylor was trained as an architect and his work (see below), recently auctioned at Freeman's, focused on architectural motifs. A new, gilt gallery style frame valued at more than $500 has been used for this work, which is in top quality condition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
