D. ROSS DONATES ART COLLECTION

Cambridge, Dec. 5, 1919.

Paintings on View in Fogg Demonstrate Theories of Design and Color.

In the Fogg Art Museum, there is at present an unusual and interesting display of drawings, diagrams, designs and photographs, all of which have been collected and given to the Museum by Denman W. Ross '75. The purpose of this interesting collection is to demonstrate the theories of design, color, and painting, as developed by Professor A. H. Pope in his fine arts courses.

Many of the paintings were made by Dr. Ross himself, and although they are in the nature of experiments, and are not of a high order of artistic merit, they are of great value in illustrating the theories of design and color. There are also several copies of the old masters, which are of great interest in this connection.

The collection includes a series of diagrams which illustrate the principles of design - the harmonious relation of areas based upon geometric forms. Next to these are examples of the application of these principles in the decoration of pottery, textiles, and other crafts. Then come a series of paintings in which Dr. Ross has used his color scale and palette, and which are remarkable for the purity of their color and the absence of representation. Most of the paintings are small, but some are larger and more finished pictures.

Other examples of the value of the collection are furnished by copies of textiles, mostly by students of Dr. Ross. These are interesting because of the carefulness of their execution and the skill with which the principles of design have been applied.

The collection is on view in the Fogg Museum, and it is hoped that it may be of great value in the teaching of the principles of design and color.
