The catalog was unpaginated. The artists of paintings were listed in alphabetical order.




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chu Jor’s “Composition” was printed eleven pages after his listing.




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chu Jor’s address appeared four pages later: 175 Canal Street, New York City.

The above scans are from the author’s collection. The catalog can be viewed at the Smithsonian’s Archive of American Art.

The New York Post, March 19, 1938, reviewed the Chinese Art Club’s third annual exhibition and said
 
           Chu H. Jor showing richly painted still lifes of livid lobsters 
           and fruit.

Chinese Digest
, May 1938, may have referred to “Composition” or a similar painting.
... Chu H. Jor’s “Painting No. 1,” (Red Lobster on Blue Plate) shows promise of still further works to come. ...
