PAGE TWO German, Italian Art Contrasted by Burkhard Bearded men with huge fur collars highlighted the evening as Dr. Arthur Burkhard, visiting professor of German, spoke on “Under standing German Art” last night in 121 Sparks. Aside from priiAarily being a talk on German artists of the 16th century, it was an excellent presentation. j German art is little known outside of Germany probably for the reason that it requires thoughtful examination in order to be fully appreciated. Burkhard empha sized the difference between the calm, monumental Italian art as opposed to the violently turbulent and emotional art of such men as Grunewald and Durer. German art tries to get below the surface rather than just have the restraint, dignity and beauty that signifies the art of such Ital ian painters as Raphael, Bellini, or Mantegna, he said. A German crucifixion in con trast with an Italian one shows all the reality, restlessness, and hideousness of suffering. On the other hand, the latter is only con cerned with the monumental qual ities of the beauty of suffering, Burkhard said. The figures in volved are carefully arranged and have solid, idealized forms. Emotional expression is the main thing in German art, he claimed. Although the line is em phasized, it is not rigid, but flex ible so as to highlight the idio syncrasies of the figure involved. -It doesn’t erase character, but emphasizes individuality. From Grunewald, Burhard pro gressed to Durer, Cranach, and Schongaur, showing all the while how a seemingly chaotic mass of figures could be blended together into an exciting, twisting, almost expressionistic masterpiece. Outside of Gothic German ar tists, Burkhard briefly mentioned two later artists: Hodler and Lehmbruch. It seemed a shame that more recent artists couldn’t be included in the lecture, but Burkhard' assured his audience that they might be mentioned in a later lecture on modern art.

Placed On Probation By AIM Board Three students were placed on board probation and will be re quired to work on student gov ernment projects as the result of disorderly conduct in State Col lege, it was decided at last night’s meeting of the Association of In dependent Men Judicial Board of Review. The men had been apprehended by borough police when they at- Tempted to replace a street bar ricade that they had taken. They were fined by borough authorities, and the case was referred to the board by the dean of men’s office. A fourth member of the group was .released because he had not been with the others when the barricade was taken. Edward Thieme, chairman of the board, said that the men would be put under the surveillance of the board and that any further infraction of rules during the cur rent semester would result in their being placed on probation in the dean of men’s office. Thieme said that the men were not being tried again for the same crime inasmuch as the board is not responsible for the execution of borough laws. ' The punishment was because of the harm the deed did to the refutation of the Col lege in the eyes of the towns people, he said. Students to Meet For Fashion Show .
