Label TextBelow her drawing, Helen Farr Sloan recorded John Sloan's comments. Helen's notes, from classes at the Art Students League and sketching sessions in the mid-1930s, formed the basis for Gist of Art, the 1939 compilation of Sloan's teachings. She continued to record his comments throughout their life together.
