ART SOCIETY ANNOUNCES ITS SECOND EXHIBITION

PAINTINGS, SCULPTURE, WORKS OF MINOR ART INCLUDED

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Next Tuesday, four days after the close of its current American exhibition, the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art will present to the public a display of the works of the School of Paris. The second exhibition of the organization is intended to supplement, with the work of the last 20 years, the French Painting now showing at the Fogg Museum.

The exhibition will include paintings in oil and water colors, sculpture, prints, and examples of decorative art. Among the outstanding works in oil which will be shown are a still life by Georges Bracque. "Twin Steeds" by Giorgio de Chirico. "Taormina" by Raoul Dufy. "Abstraction" by John Miro, and a picture by Laurencin.

Two pieces of sculpture by Constantin Brancusi, one of which is a famous "Flight of the Bird," should be among the most interesting features of the exhibit. In the program note for the show there is the following comment on this eminent sculptor: "An artist of enormous technical knowledge he has experimented, refined, synthesized, and perfected until his forms are the inevitable essentials of his model, expressed in media whose possibilities he has so completely explored." "Standing Nude" by Aristide Maillol is another piece of sculpture that will appear in the exhibition.
