Everett Shinn, Revue, 1908, The Whitney Museum of Art We saw this painting at the Whitney Museum’s Modern Life: Edward Hopper and His Time last weekend. The exhibition not only contains works by Hopper but by his contemporaries, including photographers Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen and painters from the Ashcan School, who depicted everyday scenes from New York’s Bohemians and down-and-outs. I loved this painting of a showgirl by Ashcan artist Everett Shinn—particularly the performer’s outfit: her lace dress, her long gloves, her hat and her dainty low-heeled shoes.
