FOGG MEMORIAL EXHIBIT WILL COMMEMORATE LT. F. R. GRACE

With examples chosen to illustrate the universal nature of modern art, an exhibition of the works of four living masters from the four fields of artistic endeavor will be held at the Fogg Art Museum in memory of Lt. Frederick Randolph Grace '30, U. S. N. R., from May 4 to 29. Special features of the exhibition, which is open to the public, will be afternoon lectures on Wright, Maillol, Picasso, and Strawinsky, the selected artists.

Grace, former Assistant to the Directors of the Fogg Museum and instructor in the Department of Fine Arts was the first civilian member of the University faculty to be lost in the present war. His death came during routine flight operations last spring.

Historical Aspects Studied

While at Harvard, where he received his A.B., A.M., and Ph.D., Grace did much to promote complete understanding of the significance of art by advocating the study of its relation to world history.

Chosen to represent the modern painters, Picasso has long occupied the focal point of international art controversy because of his fondness for new and unconventional styles. Maillol, former student under Rodin, has done much to revive the classic traditions of sculptoring by his work in bronze and marble.

Wright Display Elaborate

While the selections of works by Picasso and Maillol is numerically small, the display of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural models and pictures has been made quite extensive in order to point out the versatility of the new school of American home designing. Strawinsky's musical contributions to modern art will be illustrated by a chamber music concert to be held in the Fogg courtyard on May 7 at 4:30 o'clock.

The analytic lectures on these artists and their works will be given at 4:30 o'clock as follows: Professor Arthur T. Morritt on Strawinsky, May 6; Professor William R. W. Kochler on Picasso, May 11; Gordon Washburn, Director of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, on Maillol, May 13; and Professor Frederick B. Deknatol on Wright, May 18.
