The special exhibi t ion of Early Watercolors by Charles Burchfield i s proving of

great in te res t* Before the War, at the age of twenty-three and while he was s t i l l

ignorant of modern movements, Burchfield produced expressionist work of remarkable

originali ty and very different from his more recent and be t t e r known r e a l i s t i c manner.

The Museum*8 fourth exhibi t ion of paint ings by Max Weber and Paul Klee and

sculpture by Maillol and Lehmbruck aroused considerable i n t e r e s t and controversy.

Over 15,000 people attended during the three weeks. Of th i s number only 530 came in

the evening. The public i s urged to attend the ga l l e r i e s in the evening when they are

least crowded so that the Museum may continue to avoid charging admission (as was

necessary during the third exhibi t ion)* The Museum i s open without charge week days

from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. and Sundays from 2 to 6 P.M., evenings from 8 to 10 P*M.

excepting Saturday and Sunday*
