The exhibition Is presented by the Art Students League through the courtesy of the Trustees of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The pictures were selected and hung by a Committee of the League. Leading museums throughout the country have lent works to the League for this Diamond Jubilee exhibition. Included will be The Concert S,inger by Thomas Eakins from the Philadelphia Museum of Art; The_ Young Woman in White by Rbbert Henri from the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DkC»} Emma and her Children by George Bellows from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Hogs Killing a Rattlesnake by John Steuart Curry from the Art Institute of Chicago; Otis Skinner by George Luks from the Phillips Gallery, Washington, D.C.; and Trio by Walt Kuhn from the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. Other museums, organizations, galleries and private collectors have lent work by George Inness, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, John Sloan, Jacob Epstein, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Reginald Marsh, Georgia O'Keeffe, Alexander Calder and many other. Noting that the Metropolitan Museum was founded just five years before the League and that there had always been a close relationship between the two institutions, Robert Beverly Hale, Associate Curator of American Art, said that it seemed particu­ larly appropriate that the exhibition should be held at the Museum. "From the earliest days every student of the League has supplemented his studies by visits to the Metropolitan," said Mr. Hale. "Many have since contributed works of art to the permanent collections. "This exhibition constitutes an extraordinary record of achievement by an extra­ ordinary school. Much of the credit must go to the great teachers the League de­ veloped or supported through the years; such men as Eakins, Henri, Luks, Kenneth Hayes Miller, George Bridgman and Frank Vincent DuMond. But the real strength of the League lies in its tradition and its spirit. It is still, as it was seventy-five years ago, youthful, dynamic and democratic; it Is still fiercely free and independent." The Art Students League has published an illustrated catalogue containing a biography of each artist and an appreciation of his work. It will be on sale during the exhibition, which will continue through Sunday, April 29. -0- (ATTACHED IS A COMPLETE LIST OF ARTISTS AND THEIR WORKS IN THE EXHIBITION) For Release, Saturday P.M., March 10, and Sunday A.M., March 11, 1951 ART STUDENTS LEAGUE 75th ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION March 16 through April 29, 1951, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art 75 Works of Art by 75 Artists Associated with the League Paintings, Drawings, Prints GLFFORD BEAL (1879- ) - Circus Ponies.
