Excerpt from Paintings in Oil and Pastel
The present exhibition of paintings by Whistler aims to give a comprehensive idea of the scope and development of his work in color. Only enough pictures have been included to satisfactorily fill the Gallery of Temporary Exhibitions, and in their selection the attempt has been made to exemplify the painter's accomplishment as adequately as possible at the various stages of his career. Owing to the limited space at our disposal for the exhibition, water-colors have not been included, as it was feared that, with their exceedingly delicate and evanescent tone, they could hardly he seen to advantage in the close neighborhood of the more dominant oils and pastels. This is the first considerable exhibition of Whistler's paintings that has been held in New York, although his etchings and lithographs have frequently been seen here.
The Museum gratefully acknowledges its obligation to those who, by their generous cooperation, have aided in forming this exhibition.
