A SURVEY OF AMERICAN PAINTING.
Published by the Carnegie Institute Department of Fine Arts in 1940.

The catalog to a loan exhibition which ran from October to December,  
1940, with an introduction by Homer Saint-Gaudens. There were 367  
paintings, drawn from a wide variety of institutions and personal  
collections. One of the most striking aspects of the exhibition is  
that while the first part, devoted to “Retrospective” works (Colonial  
to the end of the 19th century) was mostly from institutional lenders,  
the second part, the Contemporary works, featured 121 paintings which  
were in part lent by the artists themselves, and were potentially for  
sale. This is mentioned in the introductory notes- if you see  
something you like in the Contemporary section mention it to us, you  
may be able to buy it. Since the artists included Raphael Soyer,  
Charles Sheeler, Edward Hopper, John Marin, George Grosz, Rockwell  
Kent, Grant Wood, and many others (many of them of less lasting  
renown) this wasn’t a bad deal at all. Softcover. 7.5x10, 158 pages  
plus 135 black & white plates. Covers with some wear and soil, front  
cover hinge starting the separate. [55474]  $20
