Philadelphia Sketch Club. Having lived many years abroad and having been exposed to many artistic influences,
Slade's subjects were varied with broad execution styles. The artist enjoyed paintings harbors, street scenes,
and landscapes.

American artists, stayed and painted. He joined the U.S. Army and was in the camouflage unit. After the war he
returned to Tunis to paint a series of North African scenes, which were published in "Scribners" in 1921. The

biblical subjects.

Attleboro Public Library; Free Public Library; Milwaukee Art Museum; Bethany Church, Philadelphia (mural);
Paramount Theater, NYC (mural); John Wanamaker & Elkins Collections, Philadelphia, University of Connecticut
