Born Everard Jean Hinrichs, Eric Sloane created his first name from the middle letters of ‘America.’ Sloane’s works, whether they are of covered bridges in Connecticut, pueblos in Taos or cloud forms and landscapes anywhere in these United States, are quintessentially American, as American as his name: bold, crisp, enthusiastic, and redolent with optimism. Sloane’s Grand Canyon is a study in contrasts and opposites. As opposed to other painters, much of the color of the canyon here is in shadow. The rock formations that jut above the shadows are brilliant in their oranges and pinks, like islands in a dark sea.
