New Painting for Fine Arts Collection

A new painting by Fridtjof Schroder (1917-1990), LC alumnus of 1943, has been donated by a family member. Many of Schroder’s colorful, abstract paintings can be seen around campus but a comprehensive collection is installed in Hovde. He also drew the wonderful pencil and charcoal drawing of the shell of Old Main as viewed the morning after it burned. That drawing hangs in the display case on the main floor of Main. The new painting, entitled “Opus 325: The Mystery,” is a self-portrait of the artist created while he was contemplating retirement.
