Ash Can School
The Ash Can School was a group of artists in the United States that were active from 1908 – 1918, and included artists such as Davies, Henri, and Hopper. The AshCan movement shocked viewers because of it’s motto ‘art for life’s sake’. The art movement developed new themes such as city life, and life on the streets. Robert Henri began the Ash Can movement in 1891, which gained the attention of William Glackens, Everett Shinn, Robert Henri, and George Luks – all newspaper illustrators. The Ash Can School was revolutionary not because of its style but because of its realistic subject matter. Beauty was found in the truth, where sometimes unpleasant scenes were depicted including those from the working class, alleys, bars, and streets. The style is generally quick with obvious brushstrokes, often exhibiting thick layers of dark muted color paints. The Eight artists made up the Ashcan school and began in New York City in 1908. The Eight had different artistic styles but agreed on the main themes and subjects within the Ash Can School movement. The Eight artists included Dawes, Prendergast, Lawson, Glackens, Shinn, Robert Henri, John Sloan, and Luks. These Ashcan school artists rebelled against modern art and held the Armory Show in 1913, which shocked the American public because it exposed modern European Art.
