[[image]] "Improvisations" was conceived from an idea by Julio de Deigo as a medium for advertisers in sympathy with Artists Equity. The member-artists who illustrated this journal were selected by the advertisers and were given complete freedom of expression. Each page was designed by the artist directly on the litho plate, thus making this a collection of original lithographs. The following artists participated in this unique experiment: Milton Avery Samuel M. Adler Arnold Blanch Max Beckman George Biddle Lucille Corcos Frederico Castellon Sylvia Carewe Nicolai Cikovsky Julio De Diego Desha Lewis Daniel Jane Eakin Phillip Evergood Richard Florsheim Karl E. Fortess David Fredenthal Marion Greenwood Chaim Gross John Groth Xavier Gonzales Stanley W. Hayter Bertram Hartman Gerrit Hondious Emy Herzfeld Hans Hofmann Clara Klinghoffer Agnes Kovach Sidney Laufman Doris Lee Leonard Lionni Jack Levine Julian Levi Eleanore Mizzi Lillian MacKendrick Peppino Mangravite Reginald Marsh Arthur Osver Josef Presser Anton Refregier Felix Ruvolo Alex Redein Georges Shreiber Ladislas Segy Raphael Soyer Moses Soyer Hazel Slaughter Ben Shahn John P. Taylor Stuyvesant Van Veen Denny Winters Editing: Elias Newman To the artists, advertisers, and the host of friends who helped make this possible we express our sincere thanks. This first edition is limited to two thousand numbered copies. No. 221 Acknowledgement: We gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of Mr. Zan Diamond, Mr. Marvin Small and Mr. Arthur A. Livers who helped make this the successful event it is.
