Placed on View at the Graduates
 Club House Open.

ittSSd uu NltW Ut lIe SIduudlSS Club House Open.
 At the Graduates club yesterday were placed on exhibition collection of twenty-open paintings in oil by John Henry Niemeyer professor of drawing In the Yale School of Fine Arts, and collection of masterpieces of line en- craving loaned by Theodore T. Nun ger. The exhibition is indeed splen- did one in It's class and all those who are favored with an opportunity of viewing the works of art should take advantage of it. The canvasses by Prof. Niemeyer may be said to repre- sent the impressionist' idea of color l applied to foundations of academic | drawings. The style of paintings, of which Prof. Niemeyer is an expert, can hardly be called popular one, though the list of artists who affect it con- tain some of the greatest names of the century. It's fundamental princi- pie is impression-the mental idea that a scene bears on the mind, in itself one of the most pleasing of mental | images. Accuracy of detail correct ness of even large masses is disregard ed in the effort to reproduce on the canvass the momentary glimpse.
 Such men as Manet, Maufra and Raf- fele are members of this school of artists. J. Alden Weir of New York I pifU a hrnfh ha,. of D,nf TAI, i. of the Yale art school, is the best known impressionist in America.
 Prof. Niemeyer is an artists artist rather than the pubIic's. His work is thoroughly refined, artistic, intellec- tual After this exhibition, which will last about ten days, the paintings will be placed in the studio of MT. Weir in New York This is the only exhibition of canvasses representing the particular school of painting which characterizes the century in the world l of art. A few canvasses by Twacht- man, who also ranks high as an i'm l pressionist, were exhibited in the Art school some years ago, but no other exhibition of impressionistic paintings in New Haven can be recalled. Sever al of the canvasses represent scenes in New Haven and vicinity and they are strikingly true to nature.
