Cultural Center Seen in S. Germany

Edward Maser, associate professor of art history, said that Munich was one of the most important art centers in Europe and the most important art center in Germany.
He talked at the fifth Great Cities and Their Art Lecture yesterday in the Spooner-Thayer Art Museum Lecture Hall.
"LUDWIG CREATED a city dedicated to the arts," he said. "He was in love with classic art and borrowed the Greek arch idea. He rebuilt many of these classical gates and arches in Munich. Ludwig also built a royal square with a museum of art on one side and a museum of sculpture on the other.
He continued his lecture by taking his audience on an imaginary tour of Bavaria.
"It is the catholic museum in Munich, containing many of the Flemish painter Peter M. Rubens' works—the self-portrait of his first wedding and the jewel of his paintings the "Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus."
Illustrating his talk with colored slides of Munich and the surrounding Southern German plain, he attributed the city's art to the Bavarian ruler, King Ludwig I.
PROF. MASER stopped to elaborate on the Alte Pinakothek, what he called the only real museum in Munich.
"It also contains his small picture "The Fall of the Damned." A crazy man threw acid on the picture because he didn't like it. The man wanted people to recognize his own paintings."
THE LAST SELF-PORTRAIT of Albrecht Durer is there along with his painting "The Four Apostles."
Prof. Maser showed Durer's painting, "The Battle of Alexander." in close up slides.
"This is a universal picture, not large but done in great detail." He said, "Notice that Darius' name is printed on his chariot as he is pictured fleeing from the battle. It shows the camps above the battlefield, the city in the background, the mountains, the sea harbors and the curve of the earth."
