Catalogue of the inaugural exhibition : June 6-September 20, 1916
A 1916 exhibition catalogue issued by the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, for visitors to its inaugural show, with plates reproducing works from its opening collection. The four photographs show a figured tapestry border, a kneeling marble Madonna statue, a row of helmets and a pear-shaped object, and a Greek-style relief of a draped female figure with a spear. Designers might draw on the sculptural lighting and grey halftone tonality, along with the classical drapery and ornamental borders.
