Two Exhibits
On Displa
At 'U' Museumn
Two exhibits, "Watercolors and
Drawings by Gavarni" and "Per-
sian-Hindu Miniatures," are on
display this month at the Museum
of Art. ,
Circulated by the Smithsonian
Institution, the fifty Gavarni wat-
ercolors and drawings disclose less
familiar achievements of this hu-
morous French nineteenth century
artist, better known in this coun-
try for his lithographs.
The works represent two
phases of Gavarni's artistic de-
velopment. The first covers his
extended sojourns in England in
1847 and 1849. "Peasant Girl
Smoking," "English Beggar" and
'The Barmaid" belong to this
period, characterized by a com.-
plicated watercolor technique
employing brilliant highlights.
The second phase begins in 1851
after his return to France and lasts
until his death in 1866. "Reverie,"
"Two Actors," "Chocolate Vendor"
end "Head of a Woman" were done
in this period. .
Works in these years are done in
pencil heightened with colored inks
In shades of red, green and brown.
The collection of 21 Persian,
Moghul and Rajput miniatures
from the collection of the Port-
land, Ore., Museum of Art are on
display In the North Gallery.

Prepayment

could get a loan to make the pre-

can't get a loan during vacation.
Most other colleges already have
even stiffer deposit plans, the off i-
cials pointed out.

"probably be about the same'' at
league houses.
