Rocha amarela, Gloucester
1914
John Sloan traded the gritty streets of New York for the rugged coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and the result is this explosion of color. Painted in 1914, the massive yellow rock formation practically glows against the deep blue ocean, showcasing a shift from his usual Ashcan School realism toward a much bolder, more vibrant style. You can almost feel the salty sea breeze in those thick, energetic brushstrokes that carve out the purple and brown boulders in the foreground.
