"This exhibition, 'The Subjects of the Artist, ' is the second part of a series of explorations, at the Gallery, of American art at mid-century. It is intended to be a core sample of the abstract-expressionist movement, focusing on works that form a series or emphasize a particular theme by each of seven artists. . . The scholarship of this recent period in American art history is still in its pioneering phase. We are fortunate to have on the Gallery's staff a curator who is deeply immersed in this field. E.A. Carmen, Jr., conceived of the show and selected its contents, and the catalogue is a result of his work and that of Eliza E. Rathbone, assistant curator at the Gallery. The research of the photographic material was provided by Trinkett Clark. Thomas B. Hess has allowed us to reprint his discussion of Newman's Stations of the Cross as one of the seven essays here."--Foreword
