Collector Donates 50 Works of Art For Fogg Exhibit

In appreciation of the "training and inspiration" that he received here as an undergraduate, famous Detroit art collector John S. Newberry, Jr. '33 is loaning part of his collection of drawings and water colors to the Fogg Museum. The exhibit will open on February 12 in Galleries II and III at the Museum and will continue throughout the month of March.

The loans to the exhibition are varied in subject matter, medium, and style.

Among the pictures that will be on display are a number of modern French drawings, including works by Picasso and Matisse, but artists from seven other European countries and the United States will be represented in the entire group.

Nineteenth century French masters, notably Delacroix and Degas of Humanities 12a fame, will also occupy prominent places in the forthcoming Fogg exhibition.

Most of Mr. Newberry's collection, which he began as an undergraduate in the College, has never been exhibited in any museum in the east. A few of the works have been loaned for special showings in galleries such as the New York Museum of Modern Art, but this will be the first time so many paintings will be seen east of the Mississippi.
