...hoping to enroll about fifteen people," Lawson said. "I've always wanted to work with a small group painting and sculpting--I'm a sculptor myself. We had about a dozen summer school people during the summer. A few are still here--mostly Radcliffe girls. Yes, there are some Harvard men. Grad students, though. I have a German exchange student, a Japanese and a Chinese boy--more from outside than inside the country, actually...
...first half of the 20th century shakes down into perspective, it seems certain that the art contribution of the Spanish contingent will bulk surprisingly large.
