"What may be the most interesting exhibition of the year might be called ‘Modern Art, Past and Present.’ As planned it will place side by side the work of today and of the distant past - Egyptian, Persian, Greek, Aztec, Chinese, European - whatever may definitely illustrate the relationship, throw light on sources and contribute to the understanding of Modern Art."
