“PROF. WALTER SIPLE GIVES TALK ON ART AT TEACHERS’ CLUB”
Summary: Professor Walter H. Siple, assistant director of the Fogg Museum of Fine Arts, gave a talk at the Cambridge Teachers Club’s second annual banquet. He was introduced by Judge Francis J. Good, toastmaster.
Siple’s Talk: He claimed modernism exists in every historical period, arguing that “Art is Creeping into Industry and Every Day Things.” He emphasized that modern art in America is progressive and vigorous — a healthy trend — and that art is shifting away from strict adherence to old styles. He noted that art now appears in everyday objects like fabrics, pottery, and home furnishings, and that modern art is not “nothing new,” but a natural evolution.
Closing Notes: Superintendent M. F. Fitzgerald also spoke on the need for teachers to safeguard their health, and urged moderation in course-taking.
