CORNELL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 3 1924 100 356 231 THE MEMORIAL ART GALLERY ROCHESTER NEW YORK A COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS SELECTED FROM THE LEADING AMERICAN EXHIBITIONS OF THE SEASON OF 1917 - 1918 JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER Nineteen Hundred Eighteen INTRODUCTORY THIS Summer Exhibition, intended to complete a review of the most significant recent productions of American artists, has been selected from the more notable exhibitions held in the leading art centers during the season of 1917- 1918, such as the National Academy of Design and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and from the studios of those artists who have 'been influential in main- taining the high standard of American paintings during the past j'ear. Since, in a collection limited to less than one hundred pictures, it is quite inevitable that all of the leading painters cannot be represented, the Memorial Art Gallery has sought to choose those men whose work has not hitherto been adequately represented in this city. The result is that many old and well-known names, on the ground that they have already been accorded representation in special or group exhibitions, have 'been superseded by new and growing ones, up to the present time, strange to Rochesterians.
