Art: Sterile Modernism
(4 of 4) *In branches of art other than painting, the Metropolitan is
admittedly a museum of the first rank. Its prints, casts, sculpture,
bronzes, terracottas, glass, Classical, Egyptian, Far and Near
Eastern art, armor, jewelry, musical instruments, European and U. S.
decorative art, metalwork, costumes, textiles and laces, make it the
necessary U. S. focal point of anyone seriously interested in worldwide
craftsmanship. Last year's deficit of $883,384.35, due to administration expenses, reported recently by Metropolitan authorities
(TIME, March 3), is an indication of the sums being spent to keep this
esthetic treasury of increasing benefit to the nation.
