Presented by the City of New York EXHIBITION OF WAR PORTRAITS SIGNING OF THE PEACE TREATY, 1919 AND PORTRAITS OF DISTINGUISHED LEADERS OF AMERICA AND OF THE ALLIED NATIONS PAINTED BY EMINENT AMERICAN ARTISTS FOR PRESENTATION TO THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY ORGANIZED BY THE NATIONAL ART COMMITTEE COPYRIGHT 1921 by THE NATIONAL ART COMMITTEE ©CU608031 THE NATIONAL ART COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION In the Spring of iqiq it became evident to several lo\ ers of American art that if the United States was to have a pictorial record of the World War it would be necessary immediately to send artists to Europe for that purpose. The interest of a number of the distinguished leaders of America and of the Allied Nations was enlisted and their consent secured for the painting of the portraits by prominent American artists. With the endorsement of the Smithsonian Insti- tution as custodian of the National Gallery of Art, The American Federation of Arts, and the American Mission to Negotiate Peace then in session at Paris, the National Art Committee came into being for the purpose of carrying out this idea and thus initiating and establishing at Washington the National Portrait Gallery.
