This article focuses on the Metropolitan's current show of industrial art. The show consists of groupings such as rooms, offices and gardens, designed by leading modern architects and the coincidence that among all these rooms there is only one that contains a picture. Apparently the pictures were simply forgotten, the designers being too much occupied with metal chairs, glass and tile walls, cork floors, and pigskin-covered desks. The notion of playing with such materials and surfaces has burst so suddenly that it is pursued with a sort of childlike eagerness and absorption.
