The following article reviewing the art exhibit now being held in the Lowell House Common Room was expressly written for the Crimson by P. S. Harris '32, chairman of the committee in charge.

The current public Art Exhibition in the Students Common Room at Lowell House reveals that members of the House are active collectors of paintings, drawings, and prints. Some etchings and engravings are directly associated with studies of literature, history, and fine arts; numerous prints record keen interest in artistic forms; while a few have been gathered for their suggestions of avocational pursuits.

The Common Room wall paper, with its scenes of the American Revolution dominates the Exhibition. The architects Coolidge, Shepley, Bullfinch, and Abbott, through C. A. Coolidge '81. Associate of Lowell House, have loaned two fine pencil drawings of the House. An early engraving of Harvard College in the exhibition is similar to the one used for the china of the House.

Modern Art is represented by several examples. There are two of Picasso's etchings a wash drawing by George Kelbe, a lithograph by Jose Clemente Orezce, and prints by Joseph Pennell and Rockwell Kent, "Stirling Castle", painted by N. C. Wyeth dominates the room from its position above the fireplace.

Many early prints are to be found in the room. Four colored wood-cuts from the 1483 "Nuremberg Bible" are the oldest objects present. There is an impression in its second state of Rembrandt's etching "St. Peter and St. John at the Gate of the Temple". The seventeenth century French portrait engravers are represented by Edelinck and Pierre Drevet in their "Jean Andre" and "Andre Rercules" respectively. Prints from the studies of Hogarth, Barlom, and Oadry are also on display.
