Art Students League of New York
Art Students League of New York. An art school established in 1875 when that of the National Academy of Design temporarily closed. Unlike the Academy School (which reopened in 1877), the Art Students League had no entrance requirements and no set course. Its more progressive teaching methods soon attracted many students—at the turn of the century the enrolment stood at nearly a thousand. By this time it was the most important art school in the country, and its teachers and students have included some of the most illustrious names in 20th-century American art. The first two important teachers were Walter Shirlaw (1838–1919), who was there from the beginning, and William Merritt Chase, who arrived in 1878. Those who followed included Thomas Eakins, Robert Henri, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and John Sloan.
