...ceremonial museum shows of U. S. painting, artists reach their widest public. Conspicuously successful in 1937 were the biennial show of the Corcoran Art Gallery in April, the U. S. room at the Carnegie International, the more select and sparkling show of contemporary art at the Whitney Museum in November, and the even more select exhibition of "Paintings for Paris" which the Museum of Modern Art put on display during November and December-paintings by 36 U. S. artists chosen to be among those whose work the Museum plans to take to Paris this spring for the first big exhibition...
