　　Shinn was a Social Realist painter who focused on lower-class urban

　　themes.  Although his ongoing reputation seems to be for

　　Social-Realist subjects, his real interest was in the theatre and in

　　creating images celebrating the spectacle.  From 1917 to 1923, he

　　worked as art director for Metro Goldwyn Mayer and other studios and

　　wrote, produced and created scene designs for plays held at his own 55

　　seat theatre in his New York City home. He was also a cartoonist and

　　illustrator including work for twenty-eight books and ninety-four

　　magazine stories.  "A brash and often flamboyant character, he

　　went through a series of marriages and divorces." (Falk)Shinn

　　was born in Woodstown, New Jersey, and studied industrial design and

　　basic engineering at Spring Gardens Institute in Philadelphia. 

　　From 1893 to 1897, while working for a gas fixtures company in

　　Philadelphia, he attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts as

　　a student of Thomas Anshutz.  He then worked as a staff artist for

　　the Philadelphia Press with George Luks, William Glackens, and

　　John Sloan, and this group, part of the future "Eight," centered around

　　Robert Henri's Philadelphia studio. In 1897, Shinn began working for the New York Herald

　　and shortly after started a series of murals including panels for the

　　Stuyvesant Theater and industrial depictions for the Trenton, New

　　Jersey City Hall.Based in New York, he traveled extensively and

　　also did theater and film work.  In 1949, he was elected an

　　academician of the National Academy.As ever this is guaranteed 100% money back, to be as represented.
