Everett Shinn is an American impressionist painter. From the age of 17 he worked as a staff artist for the Philadelphia Press. Moving to New York City in 1897, he soon became known as one of the talented urban realist painters, depicting modern urban life.
In 1899 Shinn began working as an illustrator for Ainslee's Magazine. For a time he worked in pastel. A trip to Europe in 1900 greatly influenced his work - the artist was fascinated by Impressionism, which was especially evident in his works on the theater. Shinn's best works realistically depict American urban life in the early years of the twentieth century.
