 same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute.

 genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and no sale will be set — 
 
 aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imperfection 
 not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold “as is” and without recourse. 
 ( Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and 
 the Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy 
 expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its 
 judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of 
 the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become responsible for such 
 damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 
 
 Recorps. The records of the auctioneer and the Association are in all cases 
 to be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by 
 both buyer and seller as the value against which all claims for losses or 
 damage shall lie. 
 
 BuyING ON Orper. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
 parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if con- 
 ditions permit, will be faithfully attended to without charge of commission 
 Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, 
 except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot of one or more books by or 
 for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been present at 
 the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned 
 within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be 
 refunded, if the lot differs from its catalogue description. (Orders for 
 execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as to 
 leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be 
 given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the 
 lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects 
 of art, the bid for volume or piece should also be stated. If the one trans- 
 mitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit must be sent 
 or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 
 
 These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the 
 auctioneer or by an officer of the Association

 FOREWORD 
 
 x present collection of paintings in oil and water-color of the 
 
 contemporary American school has been consigned to the American 
 Art Association by Dr. Thomas L. Bennett of 565 Park Avenue, New 
 _ York, who is well known for his interest in this field and for his important 
 Belching collections. 
 
 In latter years a significant group of painters in water-color has arisen 
 in America. This body of men, who have broken almost entirely with 
 
 _ tradition, have produced works characterized by a freshness and vigor of 
 
 i 2 
 
 inspiration excelled in no other country in the world. ‘They themselves 
 
 are linked only by this pioneer spirit and by the use of a common medium, 
 
 ood 
 
 their techniques being in fact widely different, and in a sense experimental. 
 In the works of Dodge Macknight are brilliant studies of the plains and 
 uplands of New England in all seasons of the year thrown off with swift 
 streaks of unafraid color, whose meaning often must be guessed merely 
 
 by the direction of the brush strokes; the migratory George Hart flies 
 ~ from winter to record careful impressions of Trinidad, Samoa and the sub- 
 
 - 
 
 i 
 
 tropical South, suggesting rather than drawing, pictures; George Luks 1s 
 represented by brilliant sketches of metropolitan life in pastel, water-color 
 and oil, in which almost every square inch of the subject is forced to 
 yield secrets of color; Rockwell Kent is here with his icy detachment and 
 wealth of idealism, cynically expressed in mannered geometries; Frank W. 
 Benson, Edward Hopper, William Zorach, Glackens and others speak in 
 their own idiom to the interested layman. Historically outranking all is 
 
 _a single example by Winslow Homer, dean of American aquarellists; The 
 
 Cape Cod Fisherman. 
 
 Dr. Bennett’s feeling for impressionism and its development is mani- 
 fested in the oil paintings, which form the second part of the collection. 
 Here are grouped Ernest Lawson, Theodore Robinson, Emil Carlsen, 
 Hobart Nichols and others. Ochtman contributes a large canvas, Frosty 
 Spring Morning, in a characteristic key; Childe Hassam a beautiful marine 
 painted off the Isle of Shoals; Charles Demuth two paintings of flowers. 
 Separate mention must be made of the remarkable exhibition painting by J. 
 Francis Murphy The Wide Lane [24 x 36 inches], one of the last impor- 
 tant canvases painted by the master; greatly daring in composition, it ranks 
 high for its mature handling of a familiar autumn theme. The individual 
 work of Arthur B. Davies, which falls into no category, appears in three 
 or four oil paintings, including the noteworthy Elysian Fields, with its 
 
 interesting inventions 1n movement.

 This remarkable picture was one of the last painted by the artist 
 and was purchased from him directly by Dr. Bennett; it was, in fact, — 
 on public exhibition at the time of Murphy’s death. Mrs. Murphy, 
 who regarded the painting as one of the most important of her late 4 
 husband’s works, wrote subsequently to Dr. Bennett requesting that — q 
 he withhold the picture from a memorial exhibition organized by a 
 local gallery, stating that she deemed it worthy of being hung only 
 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The letter, which is ose 
 March 20, 1921, is in the possession of Dr. Bennett.
