...Metropolitan last week, critics and gallery-goers had a chance to inspect The Hunt together with the 16 other contemporary U. S. paintings acquired this year with the Hearn funds. Already on view were such old hands as Edward Hopper, Bernard Karfiol, Max Weber, Louis Eilshemius, Augustus Vincent Tack. For the first time appeared equally well-known George Biddle, William Glackens, vigorous, self-taught Joe Jones of Missouri, Henry Botkin, Robert Brackman, Alexander James, Sidney Laufman, Henry E.
