1689-1921 : first retrospective exhibition of American art : inaugurating the Junior Art Patrons of America, May 7 to 21, 1921, Fine Arts Building
This is a 1921 exhibition catalogue from New York's Flying Stag Press, prepared for the Junior Art Patrons of America to mark a first retrospective of American art spanning 1689 to 1921. The pictures are halftone reproductions of paintings, and the sample shows a studio interior with an artist at an easel, a loose rural landscape, a portrait of a child, and a village street scene in thick brushwork, offering a designer examples of early twentieth-century American painting styles and tonal handling.
