April 1, 1926
The Brooklyn Museum announces that beginning April 7th its Print Galleries will be occupied by two new exhibitions.
The first of these is a collection of drawings, lithographs and etchings by two Scandinavian artists. Mons Breidvik and Uno Stallarholm. Mons Breidvik is a Norwegian painter residing in this country. Several of his paintings were shown at the Brooklyn Museum in the recent exhibition by Scandinavian American artists and the forthcoming exhibition includes about forty-five of his drawings, lithographs, etc. Uno Stallarholm is a Swedish artist who has never visited this country. He is principally known as an etcher and has exhibited in the galleries of Stockholm and Copenhagen.
The second exhibition consists of a large group of poster and design studies made in the Natural History Hall of the Brooklyn Museum by the senior art classes of Pratt Institute under the supervision of Mr. Ernest W. Watson, Mr. William L. Longyear and Miss Mary B. Hyde. The Museum has in the past presented several exhibitions of posters by American and foreign artists but the use of Natural History specimens as an inspiration for artistic design carries this phase of art into a new field.
These exhibitions will remain on view until April 28th.
