FOGG OFFERS REVOLVING SHOWCASE OF FINE EXHIBITIONS

  • One art enthusiast from these parts, touring recently in Italy, was caught open-mouthed when he inquired after several paintings that he told two of them were in Harvard's Fogg Museum. Passing Fogg every day, the new graduate student may never be made aware that Fogg is the finest University art museum in the country. Exhibitions like the current collection of designs for the contemporary theater, however, call attention to the rich variety of great works, old and new, which the museum offers, free of charge, to the public.
  • Robert Edmond Jones, '10, Donald Oenslager, '23, & Lee Simonson, '09, are the stage designers whose sketches & photographs for plays, from ancient Greek to modern American, will be on display through November 25.
  • Jones, who introduced symbolism into the American theater in 1915 with his setting for "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife," carries out in his color sketches and striking giant puppets his conviction that, "A good scene should be, not a picture, but an image (A setting). Is a presence, a mood, a symphony of compartment to the drama. And his intention is quickly decipherable in the decor he created for such plays as Green Pastures, Othello & Lute Song.
  • Ed Simonson, one of the founders of the Theater Guild, shows in his designs for Lillian & Joan of Lorraine his architectural approach to stage design.
  • The third artist, George Grosz, is a symbol of expressionism of Jones & the architectural style of Simonson. His three designs for Hamlet powerfully convey these aspects of his work.
  • The initial appeal of these settings is remarkably enhanced by the arrangement of the exhibition itself, designed by Henry Dorra, a graduate student here. The display points to the role Fogg has played during the last 25 years by training more teachers of art history & museum directors in the country than any other institution in the country.
  • In general, the Fogg Museum stresses painting, sculpture, drawings, & prints, because these are the media which it is easiest to relate to the other liberal arts. The collection includes drawings, manuscripts, & Egyptian sculpture, Italian primitives, French nineteenth century paintings, & Chinese bronzes & sculpture. The exhibit is changed frequently, and visitors are encouraged to visit the study rooms, where a large part of the collection is kept.
  • Guided tours are conducted by the museum on Saturday afternoons. Fogg is open every day but Sundays & holidays. Admission is always free.
