played a many sided role in American art. As a member of the "Ash Can
School," his pastels of New York street scenes ranged from park avenue
to the Bowery. His early experience as a newspaper artist-reporter gave
him great technical facility which he later exercised as an illustrator
for many national magazines such as <i>McClure's, Hearsts International,
Everybody's</i> and <i> The Century.</i> Shinn's career as an illustrator,
however, was only sporadic.<BR>
<BR>
He took assignments only when it suited him, primarily when he needed
the money. When he didn't, he pursued his many other interests, sometimes
for years, before returning to illustration. Part of the charm of his
illustrations is their casual insouciance as though he couldn't take himself
too seriously. Shinn was also active in theatrical endeavors both as a
playwright and actor.<BR>
<BR>
He painted several murals, including a 22 x 44 foot painting for the city
hall in Trenton, New Jersey. Shinn's work is represented in many major
museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney
Museum of American Art and the Phillips Memorial Gallery in Washington,
D.C.</font><BR>
