Howells, grandson of author William Dean Howells and son of architect John Mead Howells, has been in Cambridge before.

Among the glass doves, sea monsters and slender figurines was evidence that some painters had found the medium too unfamiliar and inflexible. French Architect-Painter Le Corbusier had ignored the fragility of glass and wrought a massive form which he called Architectural Harmony. France's Georges Braque's facial silhouettes on a blue salad bowl were clumsy. But the U.S.'s Alexander Calder's finely drawn glass wire twisted into...
