„From November eighteenth to December eight a loaned collection of some lithographs by Manet, Cézanne, Renoir, and Toulouse-Lautrec; a few drawings by Rodin; and smaller paintings and drawings by Henri Rousseau will be exhibited at the Photo-Secession Gallery, 291 Fifth Avenue (between thirtieth and thirty-first streets).

The work of Henri Rousseau, who died Sept. fifth of this year, is shown here for the first time in this country. For many years his work was of a most interesting character in the Salon des Artistes Indépendents of Paris, in which he steadily exhibited since 1886, and for whose existence he fought from the beginning. The few pictures in this exhibition are loaned by Mr. Max Weber, who was a devouted fried of Henri Rousseau. He began his career in the custom-house service of the French government, but, gifted with artistic instincts, he eventually sought to express himself in plastic art. His work greatly interested the younger group of painters and critics in Paris known as Les Fauves, who were his greatest friends and admirers up to the last. He was truly naive and personal; a real „primitive“ living in our time. He loved nature passionately and painted as he saw it. His larger work is very fantastic and decorative, and recalls Giotto and other primitives. He lived a life of simplicity and purity, the spirit of which dominates his work.

The next exhibition will be devoted to a collection of drawings, wood-cuts, and etchings by Gordon Craig, London, whose work will be seen publicly for the first time in America.“ (text taken from the one page exhibition announcement)
