Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventeenth Annual Exhibition of Paintings by American Artists: At the City Art Museum, September 15 to October 25, Saint Louis, 1922 The Seventeenth Annual Exhibition of Paintings by American Artists, is, like the exhibitions of previous years, an attempt on the part of the City Art Museum to present to the public of St. Louis a collection of paintings representative of the best production of con temporary American artists. To this end, every rea sonable effort has been made to render the exhibition typical of the serious and recognized phases of American painting - those phases, which insofar as can be judged at the present time, are building the traditions upon which the art of the future will rest. To accomplish this purpose, reliance has been placed upon the judgment of no single individual or group of individuals, but an endeavor has been made to secure paintings endorsed by competent juries of selection or award, or other recog nized agencies. The paintings in the collection were therefore largely chosen from the annual exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago; the Corcoran Art Gallery.
