Original drawings by Whistler, Rodin, Turner, Van Dyck, Rubens, and others are included in the exhibition which will open tomorrow afternoon in the Fogg Art Museum. This is one of the most notable of exhibitions which has ever been held at the Museum, and it will continue till April 1.
A number of well-known examples of work by the great artists of the past, and a group of landscape sketches by some of the lesser known figures of the seventeenth century in Holland are included in the exhibition. America is represented by Webster, La Farge, Wyant, and Whistler. The English school is also represented by only a few examples, among which are a Bonington seascape, an early Turner watercolor, and a drawing by Muirhead Bone.
The French section contains a notable group of eight Rodins, which prior to their exhibition here were shown for six months at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The Italian school in its various phases is represented by Tintoretto, Correggio, Fiorenzo di Lorenzo, Parmigiano, Romano, and others. The most important drawing in the collection is one by Antonio Pollaiuolo--a masterly representation of human figures--part of the painter's cartoon for his engraving of "The Battle of Naked Men."
No attempt has been made at historical completeness, the sole purpose of the exhibition being to bring together significant examples of draughtsmanship, irrespective of time or place of production.
