jsloan Renganeschi's Saturday Night, oil on canvas. John Sloan often explored the leisure activities of working-class women and the changing social mores of the 20th century. Here, he focused on three women who sit together at the central table of a popular Italian restaurant in New York City. In showing the women celebrating a night out on the town, he emphasized their newfound freedom to socialize in public spaces without the need for male escorts.
