Exhibition of Contemporary American Oil Paintings
An 1907 exhibition catalogue issued by the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., reproducing contemporary American oil paintings for a general public and collectors. The plates are halftone reproductions, each captioned with the artist, title and catalogue number, and several show landscapes and figure subjects rendered in soft tonal values. A designer might take from them the muted, atmospheric palette and the quiet compositions of early twentieth-century American painting.
