Andrew Carnegie founded the “Pittsburgh International Exhibitions of Paintings,” known in Europe as the “Carnegie Prize,” in 1896. His aim was, first, to confront American and European painting as a means of helping American artists in their struggle to find their own identity; and second, to contribute through art to a better understanding among nations. Until World War II, these Exhibitions were quite the only way, outside of New York, for modern Spanish artists to make themselves known in the USA.
