War subjects and landscapes dominate the student art exhibit which opened yesterday on the main floor of Fogg Museum. The hanging consists of selected works offered by winners of the House, Union and Graduate exhibits last fall.
Culled from the hundreds of paintings, drawings and photographs submitted to a committee of professors of the Fine Arts department, the works in the two week show number over 70, and are the products of the efforts of 40 students artists.
The preponderance of war art is noticeable in all mediums, with photos of embarking troops, a French village, and a painting of a remote Alaskan church lending an international air to the show.
Among the nature subjects, a colorful oil "Sunset" by Robert L. Matters '50, and the "Hills of Home" by Stewart D. Kranz '49, accompany a series of animal photographs by Bartlett M. Hauthaway '46. Some Maine watercolors by Raymond A. Fitzgerald '46 add to the exhibit which also contains many surrealist offerings.
According to Arthur Pope '01, professor of Fine Arts and Director of the Fogg Museum, the work represents "the most interesting" of the winners' entries, and is "not necessarily the best" of the work offered.
