Artist: Everett Shinn - Title: The White Ballet - Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 25.5 inches x 32 inches - Framed: Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Everett Shinn, a painter, illustrator, designer, and playwright who was best known for his images of the theater, was born in New Jersey in 1876. He studied industrial design in Philadelphia from 1888-1890, and in 1893, he enrolled in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. At the same time, Shinn supported himself as an artist-reporter for the Philadelphia Press, where he became friends with William Glackens, George Luks, and John Sloan, whose style of urban realism influenced Shinn to depict the bleaker aspects of city life. In 1897 he moved to New York to continue his career as a newspaper and magazine illustrator. - In 1890, shortly after his first major one-person exhibition in New York, Shinn and his wife traveled to England and France, where he was drawn to Parisian and British subjects. While in Paris, Shinn was inspired by the theater scenes of Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Jean-Louis Forain. His work changed dramatically; he began to paint performers in action and employ unusual vantage points.
