The Brooklyn Museum announces the opening of March 22nd of a large exhibition of Modern British Prints. This collection will be exhibited in the Museum's Print Galleries where it will remain on view until April 30th. The catalogue numbers about two hundred and thirty prints.
Last autumn the Museum's Print Department invited Mr. Hesketh Hubbard of England, himself an etcher, and organizer of the Print Society, to assemble a collection of modern British prints; the sole limitation upon Mr. Hubbard being that he should refrain from sending any prints that had already been exhibited in greater New York. This limitation was based on the Museum's desire to exhibit fresh and unfamiliar material and as far as possible to afford newcomers the opportunity to display under Museum auspices worthy works to which, perhaps, the American public has not access through ordinary channels. The exhibition is representative in that it is not confined to anyone group of British graphic artists as Academicians and print makers with no initials after their name are shown side by side.
Among the important men whose names appear in the catalogue are: Frank Brangwyn, Norman Wilkinson, George Soper, Charles H. Shannon, E. A. Verpilleux, Edward J. Detwold, George Clausen, R. A., George Gascoyne, Martin Harding, Alfred Hartley, E. Lumsden, C. H. W. Nevinson, W. P. Robins, H. Rushbury and Charles Sims.
