Fogg Show Feathres Rubens' Oil Sketches

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A million dollar exhibition of Peter Paul Rubens' drawings and oil sketches will open Saturday at the Fogg Art Museum.

Though there have been numerous shows of the artist's work in the past, this is the first collection of these two fundamental aspects of his art. The drawings and sketches are studies of first drafts of his famous masterpieces.

The show, held in cooperation with the Pierpont Morgan Library, will stay in Combridge until Feb. 29 and then move to New York. Fogg and the library will present similar shows annually, with each assuming the main task of assembling the collection in alternate years.

A weekend symposium of leading Rubens experts, a concert of Baroque music in the courtyard of Fogg, and a Houghton Library show of some of the artist's illustrations for books will augment the collection of 49 works.
