The second decade, 1910-1919 : [exhibition]

Casper, Lawrence, Bernard Danenberg Galleries · 1900 · New York : Bernard Danenberg Galleries · 3 pictures

This is an exhibition catalogue published in New York by the Bernard Danenberg Galleries, covering American painting of the 1910s, with its record dated 1900 though its content points to the later decade. The pictures are reproductions of abstract works: a cubist-style still life with a wheel and planes of grey and ochre, a soft-toned oil with a sweeping black diagonal bar, and a single black calligraphic loop in a rectangular frame. A designer might take from them the interplay of flat geometric planes, restrained tonal palettes, and the expressive power of a single continuous line.
