Tales of the track promoted with athletic woodblock pointalism. Sloan said that his posters were done from "memory and imagination of real life. . . . Of the French poster artists I was most influenced by Steinlen. I liked the humanism with which he drew people, and learned from him technical devices about using crayon to make shading that could be used for linecut reproduction. It was mostly from a study of Japanese prints that I found fresh ideas about design discovered in observing everyday life." A distinguished American artist during the first half of the 20th century, Sloan is best known as a member of the “Ash-Can School” who produced gritty etchings and paintings of the New York urban environment. During the 1890s, he worked as an illustrator for various newspapers and began producing poster designs.
