EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS BY DEGAS OPENS AT FOGG

Today in the Print Room of the Fogg Art Museum there will open a representative exhibition of Degas drawings reproduced by the best methods. This Degas exhibition ushers in a series of exhibitions of reproductions of drawings especially arranged for University students and faculty who may buy the prints if they wish. Through the interest and cooperation of Mr. Weyhe of New York these prints have been secured at prices ranging from $1 to $15 each, thus suited to the average student purse. Today, the opening day, has been reserved for the sale of the reproductions to students. Dating from Monday, the prints will be on sale to both students and faculty.

Japanese Influence Shown

For some time the Fogg Museum has been interested in promoting student activity in the more accessible fields of collecting. Typical examples of subject matter and technique compose this Degas "show". Early pastels of ballet dancers and late wash drawings indicate a wide range. The color scheme of cool grays and warm tints shows Japanese influence. Interesting compositions are noticeable throughout.

Of more than passing interest is the recent acquisition by the Museum of Fine Art of a fine Degas canvas characteristic of the race course series suggested by some drawings in this collection. Now that Degas is accepted by the most conservative it is well to note his strong influence upon the work of modern painters.
