AN AMERICAN PLACE 509 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK CITY Weekdays: 10 a.m. — 6 p.m., Sundays: 3 — 6 p.m. If my painting is what I have to give back to the world for what the world gives to me, I may say that these paintings are what I have to give at present for what three months in Hawaii gave to me. Some of them were painted in Hawaii, some were painted here in New York from drawings or memories or things brought home. What I have been able to put into form seems infinitesimal compared with the variety of experience. One sees new things rapidly everywhere when everything seems new and different. It has to become a part of one's world, a part of what one has to speak with — one paints it slowly. One is busy with seeing and doing new things — one wants to do everything. To formulate the new experience into something one has to say takes time. Maybe the new place enlarges ones world a little. Maybe one takes one's own world along and cannot see anything else.

Figure (Charcoal) — 1910 Exhibited at "291" in One-Man Show of Picasso; his introduction to America. The drawing is also the first cubistic picture shown in America. In that first American exhibition of Picasso, this drawing created relatively the same sensation at "291" that the "Nude Descending the Stairs" by Marcel Duchamp created two years later at the Armory Show. Picasso himself considers this drawing the most beautiful he had made up to that time. ALFRED STIEGLITZ 17. Little Milk Maid — Black Forest, Germany (Photograph) — 1894 18-22.

Abstraction, Lake George, New York (Photograph) — 1936 October 17 — November 27, 1941 AN AMERICAN PLACE 509 Madison Avenue, New York City The 1941-1942 season of An American Place opens with the showing of selected examples of the work of four Americans: Arthur G. Dove, John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, Alfred Stieglitz. All four of these artists had their roots in "291", and have ever since been identified with the evolution of "291" in its later manifestations at the Intimate Gallery and at An American Place. One of the three Picassos also included in this opening presentation, the first piece of cubism shown in America, at the time of Picasso's introduction to America at "291" in 1911, then created relatively the same sensation as did Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending the Stairs" two years later at the Armory Show. The other two pieces by Picasso, masterpieces of their type: the Collage, the first shown in America, and Deux Amis, the finest print of this etching in existence, also were both first shown in America at that time, at "291".
