Secondary Article: “Smith Displays Daumier Study in Art Museum”
Located in the lower portion of the page, this article has a smaller headline.
It announces an exhibition at the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton, showcasing the work of the 19th-century French artist Honoré Daumier. The exhibition, curated by Wayne C. Smith, is described as the “most important and the finest arranged exhibition we have seen for some time.”
The article details that Daumier (1808–1879), known for his caricatures and social commentary, was also an accomplished painter and sculptor whose work was historically undervalued until recently. The exhibition features a range of media, including drawings, sculptures, and book illustrations. The text credits the loan of artworks to Mrs. Lawrence K. Miller (Pittsfield), Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Baddie (Northampton), and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E. Vershbow (Newton Center).
