Annual exhibition : catalogue
This is an exhibition catalogue issued by the Carnegie Institute Museum of Art in Pittsburgh in 1897, listing paintings shown there for a general public of visitors. Its pages reproduce works by painters such as Alfred East, René Billotte, F. D. Millet and Jose Villegas as small tonal halftones, mostly landscapes and interiors, with one historical scene. A designer could take from them the quiet, low-contrast compositions and the soft grey value range of late nineteenth-century academic painting.
