The Art Institute of Chicago's annual exhibitions of American painting and sculpture were among the most closely watched showcases for U.S. artists, and this edition's title marks it as one installment in a series that began in the late nineteenth century. Each year the museum invited contemporary painters and sculptors to compete for attention and awards, so the exhibition offers a snapshot of which American styles and subjects were in favor at the time. Its annual character is worth noticing: it gave regional and emerging artists a stage beside more established names, and its catalogs recorded the shifting taste of American art from one season to the next.
