 He told how Da Vinci, Michael Angelo and Raphael were students of the rem naissance period and their paintings were produced at that time. They belonged . to- what is called the Florentine school of art. Titan and Tintoretto were stu dents at Venice and Peter Ruben at Flanders. The masterpieces of all of these artists were shown on the screen by MT Arklin.
 In speaking of his work Mir. Arklin said.' 'I am a native of Armenia ana have visited all of the important art gall leries of Europe besides the many mu- seums and private collections. I have lived in America for the past 15 years but have been engaged in this lecture work for only two years. It is my en- deavor in these lectures to arouse a wider interest in art in America. It IS a fact that America has no great painter but I believe that there will be some within the next two generations.'
