Art Students Lived In Tenement Rooms To Study New York
Glenn Coleman and Albert Matzke left home as Manual Training High School students to study art in New York. They rented a room above a cafe, shared three rooms in a crowded tenement with Italian and Irish neighbors, and transformed the space into a bright studio with homemade furniture, a piano, and walls covered in their work. They subsisted on cabbage, cereal, and occasional meals at The Black Cat cafe while seeking work, and were welcomed by Everett Shinn who related his own similar struggles.
