This record marks the 49th annual exhibition of American paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago, one in a long series of shows that gave working American painters a national platform. Chicago's museum began staging these annual surveys in the late 1880s, and they became a key way for critics, collectors, and the public to see what contemporary American artists were producing. The series helped establish Chicago as a serious center for American art beyond the East Coast. Visitors today can read the title as a snapshot of how the country's painters were presented to the public in their era.
