EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of decision during the Royal Academy Selection Committee meeting for the Summer Exhibition of 1929. Held at Burlington House, the prestigious venue of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the committee members gathered around a table laden with an impressive array of artworks, carefully considering each piece for potential inclusion in the esteemed exhibition. From left to right, the esteemed Hanging Committee members include: William McMillan, Henry Pegram, Guy Dawber, Frederick Griggs, Charles Ricketts, Adrian Stokes, William Llewellyn, Reginald Blomfield, Sir David Young Cameron, Julius Olsson, Glyn Philpot, and Sydney Lee. W R M Lamb, the Secretary, is also present. The atmosphere in the room is intense and focused, as the committee members engage in animated discussions, scrutinizing the artworks with great care and deliberation. The Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy, which began in 1769, is the oldest annual exhibition of contemporary art in the world. The selection process is a significant part of the exhibition's history, with the committee playing a crucial role in shaping the show's character and showcasing the best of contemporary art. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into this important process, providing a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the Royal Academy during the 1920s.
