Written by Aline B. Louchheim, the article discusses several topics:

• A Modern Art Collection at the Virginia Museum: It details a collection of paintings and drawings bequeathed by T. C. (Tiffany) Oelrichs to the Virginia Museum, with commentary from museum director R. P. Richardson. The article notes the collection’s focus on early 20th-century American and European modernism, including works by Mary Cassatt, Jean Lurçat, Georgia O’Keeffe, Augustus John, and Paul Cézanne, among others. It highlights the museum’s challenge in building a modern collection in a region historically focused on traditional art.
• Drawings at the Fogg Museum: The article announces an exhibition of 80 drawings from 1830 to 1837 from the Fogg’s archives, curated by Arthur Pope, which showcases American artists’ engagement with the landscape and the evolving perception of nature during the “convention stage.” It mentions artists like David Gavitt and Benjamin West.
