“Display Of Paintings, None Less Than Six Feet In Length”

Choire’s got me hooked on the NY Times archives. Here’s the headline of an April 2, 1947 review of a MoMA show that contains an early mention of Jackson Pollock:

UNUSUAL ART SHOW OPENS AT MUSEUM; Display of Paintings, None Less Than Six Feet in Length, Is Offered at Modern Art

That the show was titled, “Large-Scale Modern Paintings” makes it only slightly less interesting.
