THE COMPANY WILL APPRECIATE SUGGESTIONS FROM ITS PATRONS CONCERNING ITS SERVICE

The 1941-1942 season of An American Place opens with the showing of selected examples of the work of four Americans: Arthur G. Dove, John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, Alfred Stieglitz. All four of these artists had their roots in "291", and have ever since been identified with the evolution of "291" in its later manifestations at the Intimate Gallery and at An American Place.

One of the three Picassos also included in this opening presentation, the first piece of cubism shown in America, at the time of Picasso's introduction to America at "291" in 1911, then created relatively the same sensation as did Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending the Stairs" two years later at the Armory Show. The other two pieces by Picasso, masterpieces of their type: the Collage, the first shown in America, and Deux Amis, the finest print of this etching in existence, also were both first shown in America at that time, at "291".

Exhibited at "291" in One-Man Show of Picasso: his introduction to America. This drawing is also the first cubistic picture shown in America. In that first American exhibition of Picasso, this drawing created relatively the same sensation at "291" that the "Nude Descending the Stairs" by Marcel Duchamp created two years later at the Armory Show. Picasso himself considers this drawing the most beautiful he had made up to that time.
