...Mexico, which has as thriving an art community as exists in the U. S., was limited to five canvases, one sculpture, while Florida, as arid artistically as it is fruitful agriculturally was allowed eight paintings, one sculpture. Beyond that the most startling fact to Manhattanites was that neither John Steuart Curry of Kansas, Thomas Benton of Missouri or Grant Wood of Iowa wa represented...
Elected to Associate Membership last week were 19 painters, sculptors and architects, among them: John Steuart Curry, Guy Pene du Bois, Reginald Marsh, Frank Mechau Jr., Mario Korbel, Joseph Renier, George Snowden, John Holabird, Dean Everett Meeks of the Yale School of Fine Arts.

Last week he explained that these elections were all provisional, would...
...color spread unprecedented in a 10? magazine, LIFE gave its readers three pages of prints from the work of Kansas' John Steuart Curry. In brilliant, accurate reproduction were seen the famed U.

...hold together, the centre is a confusing mass, it has no mural quality and is devoid of any feeling. I would suggest Mr. Mechau make less trips to the garbage can. As to Kenneth Adams' Rural Free Delivery 'twould do for the Ladies' Home Journal; John Steuart Curry's panels might both be called "comedy" - so silly and trite they are; the Winold Reiss murals would pass as fair advertisement and Gerald Foster's Molly Pitcher as a thriller illustration. However Daniel Boza's The Emancipation of the American Negro is quite beautiful...
