“The
Advancing American Art exhibition of 1946-47 provides fascinating insight into the dynamics of public involvement with fine art. After a brief but tumultuous and sensational history, this collection of contemporary works purchased by the State Department as an effort at cultural diplomacy was distrubuted mainly to educational instututions. A sizeable portion was acquired by Auburn University. Littleton and Sykes have collaborated on a conscientious study of these works and of the exhibition they represent.
"The Auburn collection is a substantial treasure [that] documents remarkably well a period critical to the development of American painting, and includes works of excellent quality. Its extraordinary history gives it great symbolic significance, and Professor Littleton and Sykes deserve much credit for a well-researched, intelligently presented study.”
