John Sloan (1871–1951), “Barber Shop,” 1915, etching and aquatint, plate dimensions: 10 by 12 inches. In 1945, John Sloan wrote, “Done on a zinc plate, which is not susceptible to delicate biting. The linework was etched first, then the plate coated with powdered resin and prepared for aquatint in the usual manner. The lightest areas were blocked out first with stopping-out varnish, then the medium darks, while the darkest darks were exposed the longest to the acid bath. I don’t remember making any previous experiments with aquatint” (JS 1945). The sign at upper left reads, “Turpitude the Great Hair Raiser.” Also note “The Masses” on the pile of magazines.
