SKETCHES EXHIBITED IN ROBINSON HALL ANNEX

Drawings Featured By Structures in European Cities--Bennett Praises Modern Architecture

An exhibition of water colors by R. M Bennett '28, a graduate of the Architectural School, has been opened in the Robinson Hall Annex, and will continue until January 10.

Commenting on these pictures a bulletin of the School of Architecture states: 'Some people regard modernism in architecture as the salvation of that art and some, as its annihilation. All intelligent people are familiar with the appearance of modern buildings reproduced in black and white, in the rotogravure sections and in journals of art and architecture. Mr. Bennett, who is an enthusiast, had the idea that one reason it was not better appreciated was the fact that the public generally ignored the color and therefore had no knowledge of the real appearance of the work. He decided to make extensive sketches in color of modern buildings in Germany, Austria, Holland and Scandinavia.
