...west as California, and in towns as small as Springville, Utah, are associations showing modernist art. The attendance at the opening of the Museum of Modern Art show of Gauguin, Cezanne, Van Gogh and Seurat, was 47,000. Neither art lovers nor the curious visit displays of academic art in such crowds. Cynics say that even the National Academy of Design, the very last and as yet uncaptured citadel of conservatism, had to hang a picture sidewise and then publicize the fact that a somewhat modernistic picture had been so hung by mistake (TIME, Nov. 18), to get people...

The work of these men is well known in Boston, and the Committee has assembled only a few of their paintings to illustrate the continuity of nineteenth century development and to lead up to the less known post-impressionists--Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and others...
...Manet "Still Life of Fish," lent by Messrs. Durand-Ruel, there is an intensity of visual effect that startles. Here is no philosophizing or sentimentality. The artist sees with eyes more widely open than most of us. In contrast to this the Gauguin Still Life--the Table with Fruit and Flowers, lent by Mr. John T. Spaulding. Here the artist is in a tender mood which is something of a surprise...
