  • Old Master Drawings at Fogg, Lawrence Kuperman Paintings
    • By ROBERT TAYLOR
    • The possibilities of creative collecting are unfolded in the Fogg Museum display, "Drawings from the Collection of Curtis O. Baer." The drawings, some 50 or 60, range from the Gothic masters of the 15th century to Max Beckmann; they are part of a private collection never before made available to the public. They reveal the most exquisite sensibility in choice; and they may be seen until Feb. 26.
    • Mr. Baer is a New Yorker who has been collecting for only 10 years. In view of this time one surmises, however, that this represents only an active period. As a matter of fact, the drawings have a homogenous quality.
    • Though but one or two examples are presented from each artist, the show has a rare unity attributable to a sound aesthetic background rather than a rigid adherence to dogma or factors usually stressed in binding together so diverse a selection.
    • I was particularly impressed by a number of outstanding works. Govaert Flinck's "The Holy Family" is remarkable for its treatment of light and textures. Toulouse-Lautrec's "The Monkey," which he did when he was 16, has the tense vitality of his mature line. The sense vitally is unsure in anatomical detail.
    • The lucid brilliance of Corot's "Daphne and Pan" comes through in a diaphanous "Landscape" far more forcibly than in most of his paintings. His pictures are well known; they are said by Salvatore Rosa's "Two Men Discovering a Body." This dramatic intensity frequently becomes diffuse in the more ambitious efforts of a most uneven talent.
    • Cezanne's "The Uktena Bead" lacks the cohesion of later pictures but is nevertheless fascinating for its isolation and for the way it presages the innovations of the 20th century. The "Two Satyrs in a Landscape," attributed to Titian, evokes the Renaissance spirit vividly through its mingling of classical elements with a profuse repetition of arabesque symbolism.
    • Some of the other artists represented in this inestimable collection are Guercino, Tiepolo, Murillo, Breughel the Elder, Rembrandt, Poussin, Ruelasel, Picaart, Bartlach, Kokoschka, Ingres, Delacroix and Manet.
  • Growth in Nature
    • At the Gropper Galleries, also in Cambridge, Lawrence Kupferman is showing paintings from the past two years' work. The group is magnificently consistent. It is in my estimation the best of the several shows Mr. Kupferman has had in recent years. His pictures are well known; they are said by Salvatore Rosa's "Two Men Discovering a Body." This dramatic intensity frequently becomes diffuse in the more ambitious efforts of a most uneven talent.
  • Durer Engraving
    • Also in Cambridge is the dis- play at the Busch-Reisinger, where the artist takes up Durer and his contemporaries at the Busch-Reisinger leaves
    • The display covers chronological ground revealing the influence of Martin Schongauer's delicate, intricate lines on Durer's work. These are romantic. There is, in other words, a great deal of movement within the lines, and while not all come off with the stunning virtuosity of "Adam and Eve," they say something about the artist's sense of movement. "Ancient Tears" and "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" are examples of one of the most important periods in the history of engraving when the artist's style was still evolving secularization of the world and, in the case of Durer, the attempt between faith and reason.
• Oriental-Art Chair Slated at Harvard
  • Special to The Christian Science Monitor
  • Cambridge, Mass.
  • Students now can study oriental art at Harvard University.
  • David Rockefeller, a 1936 graduate of Harvard, has just established the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Professorship as part of his contribution to A Program for Harvard College, according to a recent announcement by Nathan M. Pusey, university president.
  • The new professorship, in honor of Mr. Rockefeller's mother, "comes to Harvard at an important point in history," said Mr. Pusey, when the impending need for greater knowledge about the contemporary life and prospective of that great area of the world can be illuminated by the study of Far Eastern art and culture.
  • Because of the collections at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Harvard's Fogg Art Museum this program is considered one of the world's greatest centers of oriental art.
  • Monitor, Jan 24 1958
• Roman Art Lecture
  • An illustrated lecture on "Roman Art and Emphasis in Architecture, Sculpture, Ceramics, and Bronzes" will be given Tuesday, Feb. 4, at 4 o'clock in the lecture hall of Fogg Museum, by Dr. Luis Pericot Garcia, Professor of Pre-History at the University of Barcelona.
