HISTORY OF WORLD READ IN ITS ARTS

New York Dealer Here After Tour of Culture Centers of Egypt and Far East

The study of art is a study of civilization. Paintings, sculpture, architecture and crafts from dim ages past to the present vividly reveal the march of culture and human progress.

That is the observation of Mr. Robert M. Levy of Jacques Seligmann and Company, well-known New York and Paris art dealers, who is a visitor in Tokyo with Mrs. Levy, following an extensive tour of the ancient cultural centers of the Mediterranean.

Leaving New York during early in January, Mr. and Mrs. Levy went directly to Egypt to study the arts and crafts of ancient Egyptians They arrived in Japan 10 days ago following a tour through India, Ceylon, the Malay States, Siam, French Indo-China and China.

"If the world were devoid of books and other written records of history," Mr. Levy told a representative of The Japan Advertiser at the Imperial Hotel yesterday, "we could still be able to follow the progress of civilization by observing art in its various forms age to age.

"In Egypt I was impressed by the marvelous preservation of art and by the vivid pictures of the Egyptian civilization which it presents. The Egyptians produced art the monumental proportions of which alone is impressive.

"Indian art I found indefinable, but fascinating. It would take me a long time to understand the philosophic traditions which lie behind it.

"My trip is for pleasure and I did not plan it for the purpose of making a study of art, as my principal work in art is connected with that of Europe. However, I have found this trip vastly interesting and instructive."

Mr. and Mrs. Levy spent the first part of their visit in Japan in the Kwansai where they arrived in Kobe from Shanghai. They arrived in Tokyo Thursday following visits to Kyoto, Nara and Miyanoshita.  After viewing exhibits of Japanese art in Tokyo and making a visit to Nikko, they will go to Peiping to see the remains of the ancient Chinese capital. From Peiping they will go to Shanghai, Java and Bali and will fly from Singapore to Alexandra. They will return to New York late this fall after a trip through Europe.
