Issued in conjunction with a 1939-1940 exhibition that "recalls paintings and sculpture already shown at the museum during the period of 1888-1938. ... These have been put in chronological perspective so that Chicago may study the evolution of this exhibition over the years." With an introductory essay written by Daniel Catton Rich. The annotated catalogue addresses 181 paintings and 46 sculptures, and many are pictured here on BW plates in the second half of the book. Provides exhibition dates for every artist or sculptor included. Very useful, and uncommon. This copy is WARMLY INSCRIBED BY RICH to former owner William Suhr.
