Road Show

A new and hopeful effort to bring U. S. art to persons outside a few big cities got under way last week with a preview exhibition in Manhattan's Weyhe Gallery of 105 etchings and lithographs by 38 of the best-known graphic artists in the U. S. Sponsored by an organization known as American Artists Group, Inc. the prints are all framed alike, under transparent celluloid instead of glass to prevent breakage in shipment, within a month four identical shows of similar prints will be traveling to department stores in 50 provincial cities accompanied by elaborate catalogs, and a lecturer. The prints in limited editions will sell for from $10 to $40 a piece. Few museums can boast a more impressive roster of artists: Rockwell Kent, Mahonri Young, Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, Emil Ganso, John Taylor Arms, Reginald Marsh, Peggy Bacon, John Steuart Curry, Conrad Buff, Eugene Higgins, Jerome Myers.
