Author Description

This volume documents the "Exhibition Of Contemporary French Art" held at the Ritz-Carlton Ballroom in New York in January 1916. Organized for the Relief Fund for the Families of French Soldier Artists, the exhibition showcased contemporary French art to an American audience during World War I. The event was sponsored by the French Ministry of Public Instruction, the FraternitÃ(c) des Artistes, and the American Artists' Committee of One Hundred.
