Several new books on art history and two collections of paintings have been on display recently in the browsing room of the library. Perhaps the most authentic work an one covering the Helen ners "Art Through the Ages". It is literally an introduction to the history and significance of art through the years from the Paleolithic Age from about 20,000 B. C. to the present day. Sir Wiliam Orpen's book, "The Outline of Art", is written on the same principle as Gardner's history, but it is inferior in that only the period from the Florentine artists to the Modernists is discussed. A simple, sketchy book is to be found in "A Primer of Modern Art", by Shelden Cheney. He tried to portray for the layman a picture of modern art and an under.standing of it without resorting to the artistic terms so often employed. Thomas Craven has two books on exhibit. One, "Modern Art", is a history of "men, movements, and meanings" in painting from the turn of the century until today. Covering a broader scope in his "Men of Arts", which portrays in word and illustration the story of western art from Florentine Glottl through present day modernism. Craven has also edited a collection of reproductions, "Art Masterpieces", with representative selections of practically all the great painters. The other collection is "Botticelli", a volume containing the complete works of this medieval artist with accompaying notes explaining the points of the various paintings. shelves are filled with the latest books, the soft lights are inviting, and the whole room lends .. ... . .
