===Note: "The Ashcan School" was a group of American painters who became known for their sooty, gritty and realistic treatment of urban scenes and other subjects. === For a while, some of Robert Henri's Post-impressionistic paintings lead him to be called "The Monet of Manhattan", and his eventual leadership of the "Group of Eight" earned him a pivotal role as founder of the Ashcan, realist and avant-garde art movements in America.

 * Also: **The subject of Henri's 1906 painting "The Art Student", **Josephine Nivison**, later married another famous American artist: Edward Hopper -- one of the best known post-World War II American realist painters. **Josephine Nivison Hopper** (1883 - 1968) was born Josephine Verstille Nivison, and later became known as Jo N. Hopper. She and her husband both studied with Robert Henri at the New York School of Art. She also modeled for the figures in many of Edward Hopper's paintings after their marriage in 1924, because she did not want him to spend money paying for other models.
