FOGG MUSEUM RECEIVES VALUABLE COLLECTIONS

Eighty-Three Chinese Landscapes, 20 French Etchings, and American Watercolors in New Exhibit

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Fogg Art Museum announced yesterday a large number of important permanent acquisitions and loans of works of art, which have been received during the past few weeks. These additions to a collection which is already over-flowing the building present a serious problem of adequate display to the directors of the Museum.

The most important of the new gifts is a group of 83 early Chinese landscape paintings collected by Mr. Edward B. Bruce of New York City and known as the Bruce collection, which was presented to the Museum by Mr. Galen L. Stone of Boston.

A bequest of 20 etchings by-the French master-Meryon, was received from Joseph Benson Marvin Jr. of the Class of 1906. These impressions are all of fine quality and several of them are printed on green paper which renders them all the more valuable to collectors.

Dr. Denman W. Ross '75 has given a large number of pieces, inculding 20 water colors by Dodge MacKnight, other water colors by American artists, an early Chinese painting, and other Chinese and Persian works of art.

Receive Valuable Stained Glass

A start has been made in a new department by the gift of several fragments of fifteenth century English stained glass all together in one frame from Mr. Roy Crosvenor Thomas, and the loan of a much earlier stained glass window.

A beautiful fifth century B.C. Greek head, which had been previously loaned for exhibition was given to the Museum permanently by an anomymous benefactor, and a loan of an early Madonna of the tweifth or thirteenth century was received from Mr. John Nicholas Brown '22.
