...would have said yes. The reputation of Thomas Eakins stood nowhere near its present zenith, and there was something flashy and slightly suspicious about John Singer Sargent, the other main candidate. And Homer was not only big with the public; he exerted a huge influence on younger painters. Robert Henri and the other realists of the Ashcan School embraced him as a role model--the virile eye, always staring at reality over the pencil. "The big strong thing," said Henri, thinking of Homer's seascapes, "can only be the result of big strong seeing...
...orchestral and chamber music with score in hand. I practiced my violin, played sonatas with my classmate Noel Lee '46-'48 and played in the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra. I spent many happy hours slowly working my way through the novels of Anatole France and the philosophical essays of Henri Bergson, without expert guidance or a firm grasp of the subjunctive...

Production company Morgan Creek insists it bought all rights, but one of the movie...
...himself many years later, a slipping glimpser, with a strong sense of the fleeting moment in which people are caught unawares--arguments on the fire escape, a woman pegging out the wash, lovers furtively embracing on the tenement roof. And though his vision was less flamboyant than Henri's or Bellows', he clearly had a deep effect on younger painters like Reginald Marsh and Hopper. His moments of voyeuristic detachment were amplified in Hopper's glimpses of disconnected urban souls seen through windows. One wants to see more of Sloan; when will some American museum give him the retrospective...
