Many of my correspondents agreed that the fair offers a magnificent opportunity to reflect Americas art at its best. to project the entire dynamic evolution of its great culture. A wellplanned panorama of truly representative art would be one of the most dramatic ways I know of impressing on people of other lands the vitality. imagination. breadth. sensitivityand good humor. tooof the American people from settlement days to the present. Through this cavalcade of art. we would have a chance to show the development of the Republic. the lusty pioneers of the great West. the folklore and color of the various regions. the romantics and the realists. the throbbing impact of the historic tides of immigration and the growth of our great metropolitan centers. the modern influences and now. even. the new pioneers in the fields of impressionism and abstraction. Surely. as some of the recent excellent books on American art have shown. it is possible to assemble a striking. stirring story of America on canvas. Such great names as Peale.
