In 'assembling this collec- tion, our desire has been to represent as adequately as possible the various styles, widely contrasted as they are, that make up American painting in our own day. At the same time, an attempt has been made to introduce many painters whose work has not previously been shown in this gallery, with the natural result that a number of .representative artists already familiar to our public are of necessity omitted. The majority of the canvases constituting this collection have been selected from the three leading exhibitions of the past season, — those of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, and the National Academy of Design, New York.
