NEW ART SOCIETY PREPARES EXHIBIT

Preparations are being made by the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art for its second exhibition which will open on March 19 and will consist of twentieth century French art. The purpose of the show is to supplement the intended exhibition of eighteenth and nineteenth century French painting to be held at the Fogg Museum, beginning in the early part of March.

E. M. M. Warburg '30 and John Walker III '30 leave today for New York to assemble pictures for the coming exhibit. Among the painters whose works will undoubtedly be represented in their selection are Laurencin, Chirico, Dufy, and Miro. Sculptors such as Despiau and Maillol will also find themselves among those whose works are to be chosen. The absence from the exhibition of paintings by Matisse, Derain, Picasso, and Bracque is explained by the fact that their work will be included in the display of the Fogg Museum, inasmuch as these artists fall on the border line between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Directors hope to have by the end of the week a complete list of the works which will constitute the display.

The interest in the movement sponsored by this organization is well indicated by the fact that over 1100 people of Cambridge and Boston attended the current exhibition during the first week it has been on display.

For those who feel that the present show includes an unnecessary number of works of the "representative" type, it will be of interest that the next one will lay greater stress upon the "interpretative" school of artists.
