Amedee Ozenfant, noted French artist and theoretician of modern art, will give a free public lecture on "The Eternal Basis of Art and Modern Art" at 5 o'clock this afternoon in Hunt Hall under the auspices of the Graduate School of Design.
Self - exiled from France, Oxenfant transferred his widely known schools of London and Parts to New York in 1938. Famed as the creator of the Purism movement in modern art, he has exhibited regularly in Paris and other centers since 1910. In France he founded the review "L'Elan" and, in collaboration with Le Corbusier, the famous French architect, he published the review "L'Esprit Nouveau," beginning in 1920. The latter had important influence on the development of modern art.
