About This Item
1905. Sloan, John. Sloan, John. JAMES B. MOORE, ESQ. Etching, 1905 (M. 126). 11 1/4 x 9 1/4 in. Annotated "100 proofs" and signed in pencil; only 25 were printed, by Platt. One of Sloan's larger plates. "It represents James B. Moore, who as proprietor The Cafe Francis, Bohemian Rendevous, figures quite importantly in the artistic life of New York. His house, 'the secret lair beyond the moat,' 450 West 23rd Street, was the scene of such gay 'parties' as few of us who participated can hope or wish to see again. He dozed in the chair while I drew the copper. I got a good portrait of his burly body--but the head shows the difficulty I had making a representation of the man awake from the sitter asleep...A typical New York bon vivant Tammany man, a friend and patron of artists. He was keen on enterprising artists and bought some pictures. But he couldn't keep up his restaurant." Sloan quoted by Morse, p. 133.
