Abbott H. Thayer memorial exhibition : The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., from Tuesday, May 9th, to Wednesday, May 31st, 1922, inclusive
This is a 1922 exhibition catalogue from the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., honouring the painter Abbott Handerson Thayer, who died in 1921. The pictures are halftone reproductions of his portraits of women, painted in soft, dark, loosely brushed tones. A designer could take from them the quiet, low-key palette of muted greys, deep browns and white blouses, with hands and faces emerging from shadow.
