Book excerpt: Combining psychoanalytic method, social history and formal analysis, I reinterpret Sloan's representations of wage-earning women, including his etching the Barber Shop (1915) and his painting the Hairdresser's Window (1907). This dissertation examines the psychological connection between the artist's early genre scenes and his later nude studies and reveals Sloan's preoccupation with boundaries and distancing as a means of ordering his world.
