PUBLIC EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS AND PRINTS AT EMERSON HALL

The School of Architecture announced today the opening of a special exhibition of drawings, prints, and water colours, of architectural subjects. In date, the artists represented range from the seventeenth century to the present day. There are examples by Canaletto, Guardi, Piranesi, Constable, Ruskin, Turner, Prout, J. L. Smith, K. J. Conant, and H. A. Webster. The works are all selected from the mass of valuable material owned by the Fogg Museum which cannot be exhibited there on account of the cramped facilities and lack of exhibition space. No attempt has been made, in arranging the exhibition, to cover the periods represented in a systematic way, but merely to bring together a number of examples of drawings and water colours which would show the different points of view of a number of artists in different periods. The majority of the material will be exhibited in the Hall of Casts, but the drawings by Mr. Conant and Mr. Webster have been placed in the cases in the large lecture room. The exhibition is intended primarily for the students in the School of Architecture, but will be open to the public. It will remain open until December 2.
