Varied Reception Greets Exhibition

Amid suits of armour, medieval altarpieces and tapestries, 50 cubist and surrealist works of Paul Klee went on exhibition in the Germanic Museum yesterday. The collection received a varied reception.

Alfonse Fink, a freshman at Cambridge High and Latin School, criticized the modern works. He stated, "My kid brother could do better." When the point was pressed, he admitted, "Maybe he couldn't, but I sure could."

Similarly unimpressed, Charles E. Zeitler '53 commented, "It's crazy!"

All the comments were not so disparaging as the above. Guide U. Saudri '58 said, "His works are beautiful . . . they're exciting and scintillating." Martin Barooshian, a junior at the Boston Museum of Art, felt that Kice's work has a "strange, mystic quality."

William J. Gievis, a student at the Massachusetts School of Art, was cautious in his comment. He said, "I just about think he's crazy . . . some of his stuff is very naive, and yet its mature too."
