Art and progress
Art and Progress is a 1909 illustrated periodical issued in New York by the American Federation of Arts, aimed at art-minded American readers. Its pages reproduce sculpture, paintings and public monuments with short printed captions. The pictures show a bronze statue of Nathan Hale in City Hall Park, a sculpted labor memorial with reliefs, a seated woman in a pale gown painted for the Pennsylvania Academy, and a loose, sketchy oil painting with dark and white passages a designer could take as a model for bold tonal contrast.
