FOGG ART MUSEUM

An exhibition entitled "An Experiment in Art Teaching" is on display at the Fogg Art Museum. It includes two features—imaginative composition and drawing by Harold Zimmerman, and the geometry of design and the use of set palettes by Denman W. Ross.

The Naumburg Room at the Museum has been reopened to the public from 2 to 4 P.M. daily, except Sundays.

Through an anonymous gift the Fogg Art Museum has acquired the Arthur B. Duel collection of Japanese prints. This is a large and valuable collection of over 3,000 items, many of which are of great rarity and beauty.

Another gift is a fine library of books connected with Japanese prints. A catalogue prepared by various native and foreign scholars accompanies the collection, which is now being classified and arranged in cases; in the near future an exhibition will be held of a few of the masterpieces selected from the collection.

Students in the Fogg Museum have hitherto been dependent upon the large and splendid collection in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, but now have examples at hand without going to Boston. The prints are of prime importance also for the early classes in fine arts.

LECTURER ON FINE ARTS

Dr. Yukio Yashiro, director of the Institute of Art Research in Tokyo and Professor of the History of Art at the Imperial Academy of Art in the same city, has been appointed lecturer on fine arts at Harvard for the second half of the current academic year. He will consider the historical and aesthetic aspects of Far Eastern painting.

FOGG OPENS EXHIBIT OF NEW METHOD ART WORK

Paintings By Dr. Ross and Pupils Show Results of Experimentation—Art of Zimmerman Also on View

From February 9 until March 9, the Fogg Art Museum is opening Galleries XIV and XV for an exhibition of paintings and drawings. The former are works of pupils of Dr. D. W. Ross, a former Harvard professor, who is experimenting with a new method of painting, while the latter are products of practically the same students under the direction of Harold Zimmerman.

One of the greatest benefactors of the Fogg Museum and the Boston Museum of Art, Dr. Ross, well-known in his profession, is endeavoring, through a private venture, to teach art by his new theory, known as the set-palette method. This consists basically of producing the natural colorization of a painting by using only certain colors, and in both number and variety. Those of the latter consist mainly of portraits and figures.

On display among the drawings are two of outstanding merit by Carl Pickhardt '31, a former Lampoon editor. One, incidentally, is a representation of Bob Lampon, who was for many years the janitor of the Lampoon building, and has now become a traditional figure. Hyman Bloom is the author of two collections of superior sketches. Those of one group are similar in style to the works of Georges Rouault, depict different wrestlers, while the others are scenes from a circus, reminiscent of the French artist, Toulouse-Lautrec.

The page provides a detailed overview of the exhibitions and activities at the Fogg Art Museum, highlighting the acquisition of a significant collection and the innovative teaching methods being explored.

The image shows a document with two newspaper articles, printed side-by-side. Both articles appear to be from the same publication, given the uniformity of the typography and layout.

The article on the left side is entitled "FOGG ART MUSEUM" and below the heading, there is a reference to an exhibition titled "An Experiment in Art Teaching" on display at the Fogg Art Museum. It discusses different elements of the exhibition, such as imaginative composition and drawing by Harold Zimmerman and the use of palettes by Denman W. Ross. The article reports on the museum's daily opening hours and mentions both a collection of Japanese prints and a series of lectures. There are handwritten notes in pencil at the top: "N4.B3" and next to it, "Feb 9 - Feb".

The article on the right side is headlined "FOGG OPENS EXHIBIT OF NEW METHOD ART WORK" and refers to paintings by Dr. Ross and students displaying results of an experimental approach to art. It details the event, including the dates it runs from February 9 until March 9 and describes some specific artworks on display. The article also mentions a traditional figure, Ian Bloomer, and references the work of George Bellows and Toulouse-Lautrec.

Both articles are printed on what appears to be aged paper, indicating that this is an archival document. There is also a small stain near the bottom of the left-hand column. The text is quite detailed and would provide historical information and context regarding the exhibit and activities at the Fogg Art Museum during that time.

This image features a page with two articles. The page is slightly yellowed, giving it an aged appearance.

Works in the exhibit mainly consist of portraits and figure studies, with highlights such as drawings by Carl Pickhardt and collections by Hyman Bloom, showing scenes reminiscent of Toulouse-Lautrec's style.

There are some handwritten notes on the page, including "H.B" and "10 Feb 1933" at the top-right corner.
