This article presents information about the book "John Sloan: A Painter's Life," by Van Wyck Brooks. This book is not a book on art criticism but the record of a man. On the whole it is the best kind of book on painter John Sloan. For it is possible to conclude that the man outstripped the artist in Sloan as a contributor to American culture. The art of Sloan, being primarily illustrative, lends itself to appraisal by a man of letters. As a biography this book fills a much needed gap. That Sloan became a painter at all is testimony to two things: the inspiration of Robert Henri and his own courage.
