art, using examples from the collection of the Museum to illustrate the points she made. These talks were highly successful and it is planned to continue them on an expanded basis during 1959-60.

EXHIBITIONS

There were eleven exhibitions during the course of the year. In the summer of 1958, “Modern German Sculpture, Painting, and Industrial Art,” largely from the Museum’s own collection, was shown. The first major exhibition of the fall term was entitled “Lyonel Feininger: Paintings of Harbors, Ships, and the Sea,” containing material borrowed from many different public and private collections. It was followed by an exhibition in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the Berlin painter Lovis Corinth. The first term concluded with a print exhibition, “Albrecht Dürer, Masterpieces of Graphic Art,” arranged especially for students of Fine Arts studying graphic art as well as for students of German concerned with the cultural climate of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries in Germany.

The second term opened with an exhibition of modern German art. This was followed by a display of Baroque drawings circulated by the American Federation of Arts under the name “Baroque Illusion” and booked by the Museum because of the number of courses on the Baroque offered by the Department of Fine Arts. Early in the spring the Cambridge Art Association held its annual exhibition at the Museum.

Later in the spring term there were two exhibitions aimed specifically at courses in Fine Arts and in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. The first, examples of late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century prints and drawings, was arranged for the benefit of German 113, a course on Schiller, and German 137, German lyric poetry and prose of the nineteenth century. The second of these purely didactic exhibitions was entitled “Aspects of Art Nouveau.” The theme and the material were selected by students taking Fine Arts 201, the course dealing with art museum problems and training.

BUSCH-REISINGER MUSEUM

Immediately after Commencement two summer exhibitions were installed: “Modern German Painting and Sculpture” and “Old Masters and Modern Art from the Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. M. Warburg.” Both of these exhibitions will extend into the next academic year.

LOANS

During the year the Museum borrowed a total of 513 objects, the great majority of them for our temporary exhibition program.

PUBLICATIONS

The Museum produced two illustrated catalogues in connection with the Feininger and Corinth exhibitions.

CONCLUSION

The year has been an active and successful one, in large measure because of the improved personnel situation on both the building and administrative sides. In looking back over the past twelve months, one realizes increasingly how dependent the Museum has become on current gifts. As long as such gifts are forthcoming, the institution can continue to develop. In the future, however, additional endowment will become more and more of a necessity if growth is to be maintained.
