does .believe modern art should be related to modern culture. And greatly admires Henry Hope, the IU art school chairman, for Mr. Hope's patient work in trying to persuade the public that modern art is not “insane.” . # » MR. ENGEL certainly is one ‘teaching artist who earned and learned his enthusiasm the hard way, His restless career, which began in Romania in 1801, has plenty of false starts and fresh beginnings, He came with his parents to the United States when he was 6 months old. Mr. Engel Sr, a tinsmith, settled temporarily on New York's lower East Side, near the Brooklyn bridge. Harry as a child was strictly forbid. den to venture on that awesome structure, and once got soundly spanked for doing so. That was some years before the Engels moved to Tarrytown, N. Y.. when Harry was 10. In Tarrytown, Harry got his first introduction to art when he worked as delivery boy for a local antique shop. Bringing some parcels to the Castle School for Girls in the weird,

neo-Gothic mansion Washing-

ton Irving had built early in the previous century, young Harry peeked through a door at an art class. The girls took a look at the gamin-like Youngster, - pounced on - him and persuaded him to pose for their drawing class.

A FAMILY move to Indiana Harbor, now East Chicago, gave 12-year-old Harry a chance to attend children’s classes fn Chicago's Art Institute. Harry's methodical father, who previously had paid $1 a week out of a hard-earned $10 to $15 for the boy's piano lessons, was not too happy about the art study. But he paid the fare and gave Harry lunch money; which the boy used for buying art materials. “I used to paint surrepititously at home. One day the family doctor caught me working on a tiny, postcard-sized canvas and offered me-§10 for it. That probably gave me my first big boost,” he recalls. His knack for drawing cartoons fitted right in with his high school enthusiasm for football, basketball, baseball and tennis. Besides the fun of active participation in sports, he had the fun of immortalizing moments of games. His cartoons regularly appeared on bulletin boards and in year books when he was finishing high school in Flint, Mich. » . . MEANWHILE, he worked for his father in the retajl clothing

when he was about 21 gave him a big opportunity: Study in Paris. He must study law, his father said, But an uncle, his father’s elder brother, a former musician living in Paris, saw the young man's discontent with law. 80 the uncle took him to the Academie Ranson, where he studied two years with the great Serusier and Maurice Denis, winding up with the triumph of a painting in the 1923 “Salon des . Independants” in the Grand Palais. Financial reverses brought him home. While helping his

father by managing a branch store in South Bend, he got interested in Notre Dame University, Starting as a librarian’s apprentice, he worked his way through to a degree in 1928. His major subjects included English, with special attention to writing plays (“I'm still a frustrated playwright,’ he says); French, which language he speaks with good Parisian accent, and psychology. An active 1928 job-hunting campaign netted him a post on the IU campus, where he's been since. He's held a Carnegle Fellowship for art-history study at the Sorbonne, and he
