...Sloan...
Jonas Lie still mistrusts too much force in other men's painting. At the Art Students' League he lately fought a wordy battle with grey-thatched President John Sloan, another painter who can argue, over the propriety of inviting George Grosz, potent German modernist, to teach at the League.

At that time they filled a real need. U. S. painting that did not imitate 19th Century French impressionism was frowned upon by dealers. Customers had no chance to decide whether they liked independent work or not. The original Independents set up no school to rival the Academy. They simply opened a place where any painter could show anything. Since then the discovery of U. S. talent...
...people could name Colby Mitchell Chester Jr., as president of General Foods Corp. than could name Edward F. Hutton as chairman, despite the latter's fame as a broker.
