FRENCH ART EXHIBIT IN FOGG

Address by Morize Today Opens Tribute to Service of Foreign Officers Here.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Captain Andre Morize will address a meeting in the Fogg Art Museum at 3 o'clock this afternoon, when the retrospective loan exhibition of French Art will be opened. The exhibit is a testimonial to the devoted service of French officers stationed at the University during the war. Many of the paintings are from the best known collections in the country. The exhibit will be open to all members of the University and to the public daily from 9 to 5 o'clock until April 23.

In making the collection which is a synopsis of the fine arts of France, more attention was paid to artistic importance than to historical completeness. Grenville Winthrop '91, J. P. Morgan '10, Harris Whittemore, Adolph Lewissohn, Philip Lehman, Duveen Brothers--are a few of the lenders. Old tapestries, furniture, sculptures by Houdon, Falconet, and Clodion, and paintings by Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, Aubin, represent the earlier periods of French Art. The nineteenth century is exemplified by some of the best work of famous French masters.
