50 James N. Rosenberg Paintings
Go on Exhibition Here on Oct. 3
Fifty of the most recent paint-
ings by one of American Jewry's
most distinguished personalities,
James N. Rosenberg, will go on
exhibition at the Detroit Institute
of A r t on
Oct. 3.
William. E.
Woolfenden, in
behalf of the
A r t Institute,
announces that
the exhibition
will continue
through Oct.
29, with a re-
ception for
Mr. and Mrs.
Rosenberg on Rosenberg
the opening night.
Woolfenden, who is the chief
associate of Edgar P. Richardson,
director of the Art Institute, also
announced that proceeds from
the sale of all of Rosenberg's
paintings will be donated to the
Archives of American Art, whose
national headquarters are at the
Detroit Art Institute.
Rosenberg, now in his 87th
year, has been widely acclaim.
ed as a vigorous painter of
landscapes. His works have
been included in museums
throughout the world and in
art centers in more than a
score of American cities, in-
cluding the. Metropolitan Mu-
seum of Art in New York, mu-
seums in Detroit, Chicago,
Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Minnea-
polis, Omaha; Cincinnati, Wash-
ington and a number of others,
as well as in JeWish museums
in New York and Cincinnati,
at universities — including
Harvard—and public libraries.
The poetry in Rosenberg's
works, the freshness of his ap-
proaches, continue to attract at-
tention wherever his paintings
are shown—in England, France,
Ireland, Latin American .coun-
tries and the United States.
One of the great lawyers of the
last generation, Rosenberg aban-
doned a lucrative law practice
about 12 years ago to devote him-
self entirely to art. But even as
a very young man, more than 40
years .ago, he already devoted a
major part of his leisure time to
painting.
At the same time, he gave his
energies to Jewish causes—hav-
ing served for several years in
volunteer capacities as Joint Dis-
tribution Committee overseas
representative, on missions on
behalf of JDC to Russia, and in
efforts in behalf of the American
Jewish Congress and other move-
ments.
Rosenberg is deeply interest-
ed in advancing the needs of
the Archives of American Art,
and he therefore is contribut-
ifig his ,paintings to the Detroit
Art Institute to aid this move-
ment. He feels keenly about
the need for research into -the
background of American arts
and artists and he is making
the Art Archives his chief in-
terest at this time.
Lawrence A: Fleischman, De-
troit art connoisseur, is chairman
of the national board of trustees
of the Archives. Mrs. Edsel B.
Ford and Vincent Price are vice-
chairmen. Edgar P. Richardson,
Detroit Art Institute's director,
also is the director of the Ar-
chives.
Explaining the purposes of the
Archives, Woolfenden said:
"The Archives are a national
research institute established for
the purpose of collecting basic
source materials of American
painters, sculptors and •crafts-
men. Their aim is to simplify the
problems of the working scholar
by having such materials readily
available in one central place.
These records may be original
letters or notebooks; unpublished
notes of historians or corres-
pondence of art dealers; docu-
ments of an ephemeral nature
and difficult of access; reproduc-
tions by microfilming, tape rec-
ording or other processes, of such
records preserved permanently
in other collections — in other
words, whatever may throw light
upon the arts in America. No
restrictions of period or place
are intended, since the aim of
the Archives .is to assemble
everything that may help to make
the collection an effective center
for research in American Art.
"The Archives do not compete
with, or attempt to; replace, exist-
ing collections or libraries, but
are intended to enlarge their
usefulness. No organization in
this country brings together such
documents on a national scale.
We are creating a complete
working collection of documen-
tary material for the serious
study of our artistic history. To
the cooperating library it will
provide a duplicate record in
case of loss or destruction. (Mi-
crofilm copy also protects the ori-
ginal from repeated handling.)
To the student it will offer an
appreciable saving of time and
money,
"The Archives are following a
systematic plan for the acquisi-
tion of material. Archivists in the
field are putting • on microfilm
pertinent material • which is al-
ready in library collections or
museum arellies. The Archives
invite the gift of original records
and manuscripts which are not
already in institutions."
