The Jury

George Overbury Pop Hart

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of May 26, 1929, reported on an upcoming Pop Hart show at Skidmore College, Sartoga Springs, NY. It was the maiden exhibition at the school's newly minted gallery, the first of an annual series put on by a school board eager to keep up with modern times.

"We are happy to have been able to arrange, through the Downtown Gallery of New York," Henry T. Moore, Skidmore president, is quoted, "for a showing of the work of this most dynamic world-wanderer whose vigorous renderings of like in many corners of the world will expand the horizons of our students." The stamp on the verso of this print, "May 29 1929" suggests that it may have been included in this show.

A preliminary drawing for this image is in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York.
