The first annual exhibition of the Society of American Painters, Sculptors and Gravers : catalogue
An exhibition catalogue issued by the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, in 1919, presenting the first annual show of the Society of American Painters, Sculptors and Gravers for an art-public audience. The plates show American prints and drawings of landscape, sculpture and city views, with one photographed sculpture of two wrestling figures on a plain plinth, and a sideways-printed sketch of a house beside bare trees. A designer might take from them the tonal range of etching and drypoint, with dense hatching for shadow and open paper for light, and the layered perspective of the urban panorama.
