Eric Sloane (American, 1905-1985)
Eric Sloane was an American landscape painter, illustrator, and author of illustrated books on the cultural history and folklore of America. He painted rustic landscapes in the tradition of the Hudson River School. In the 1950s, he began spending part of the year in Taos, New Mexico where he painted western landscapes and particularly luminous depictions of the desert sky. In his career as a painter, he produced over 15,000 works. His fascination with the sky and weather led to commissions to paint works for the US Air Force and the production of several illustrated works on meteorology and weather forecasting. Sloan also had a great interest in New England fold culture, Colonial daily life, and Americana. He wrote and illustrated scores of books on Colonial-era tools, architecture, farming techniques, folklore, and rural wisdom. Every book included detailed illustrations, hand lettered titles, and his characteristic folksy wit and observations.
