The Street Painters:

This group has staged 4 previous exhibitions at The Art Students League of NY, and are not the first artists there to focus on the energy and human dramas of N Y City's streets. Ashcan School artists Robert Henri and John Sloan were notable artist/ instructors at the League during the 1910s and 20s. Raphael Soyer, Reginald Marsh and Isable Bishop, who immortalized the Union Square vicinity, all studied at the school. Today the League enrolls 2500 students from around the world in its studio-based courses in painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking.
