Kamrowski’s Art Displayed In Paris

47 Of U-M Man’s Works Included In Exhibit

Forty-seven of the most recent works of art in oil, watercolor and ink drawings by Gerome Kamrowski, assistant professor of drawing and painting at the University, will be exhibited during the next two weeks in Paris.

The exhibition opens tomorrow at Galerie R. Creuze on the Avenue Messine and will continue through Jan. 22.

An introduction to the show has been prepared by M. Andre Bretonn, a noted French poet and founder of the surealist movement.1

“Of all the young painters whose development I have watched during the last few years, Kamrowski’s work captivates me most by its quality and sustained character," Bretonn writes.

The art school faculty member took his paintings abroad personal1ly last June.

Prof. Kamrowski is the winner of the 1948 Cranbrook Prize awarded at the Michigan Artists Association’s annual exhibit held at the Detroit Institute of Art. He is also the first prize winner of the 1948 show sponsored by the Michigan Academy of Arts Science and Letters.

His paintings have been described as giving the impression of “furious energy,” and a reviewer of one of his exhibits here reported that he belongs to the most advanced group of American non-representational artists.

A native of St. Cloud, Minn., Kamrowski has been on the staff here since 1946. At the present time his work may be seen in the “Works in Progress” exhibition circulating through the state of Michigan.

He will have a show in the Hugo Gallery in New York in the spring.
