The Ashcan in Eugene O’Neill

Eugene O’Neill and the Ashcan Artists

This book presents the centrality of New York City on Eugene O’Neill’s imagination—the notorious Tenderloin section, Greenwich Village, the Lower East Side, Fifth Avenue, and Gramercy Park—and treats the urban drawings, etchings, and paintings of George Bellows and John Sloan as if they were scene designs for O’Neill’s plays. What I try to get at is the emotional impact and the visual art (60 images) is a means to articulate aha! moments.

Forthcoming in Fall 2024
