"The first exhibition of modern architecture in London was arranged by the MARS group (Modern Architectural Research Society) at the New Burlington Galleries, January 11-29, 1938. The MARS group consists of 60 members -- architects, engineers, writers. The exhibition showed modern architecture in the form of a consistent, self-explanatory statement in a setting sympathetic to the spirit of the modern movement. Bernard Shaw wrote this foreword for the Catalogue. Since no exhibition of comparable scope and character has been held in the United States, and since Mr. Shaw's statement has not before been printed in America, Twice a Year calls attention to Shaw's comment as a challenge of significance."--P. 152.
