TO SHOW PAINTINGS BY M. HIRSCHFIELD; Display of Thirty Primitives Will Open Today at the Modern Art Museum
Thirty "primitive" paintings by Morris Hirshfield of Brooklyn constitute the exhibition which opens today in the ground floor galleries of the Museum of Modern Art. This is a "retrospective" exhibition including all the work Mr. Hirshfield has done in this field in the five or six years since retiring at the age of 65, after two decades or more of work in the cloak and suit business and as a slipper manufacturer.
