Clipping 3:
This clipping is titled "ORIENTAL PAINTINGS" and features an article about an exhibition of Buddhist paintings. The article describes the paintings as striking examples of Buddhist painting, with certain changes made last summer in the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, which have made the exhibition space more attractive. The article also mentions that the Buddhist paintings are of unusual interest, perhaps the most striking among them is a large picture painted on silk, of Yakushi, the god of healing, surrounded by his twelve generals and Nikko and Gakko, the attendants. The drawing of the attendant figures is full of the peculiar directness which characterizes the work of the late thirteenth century, from which period the picture dates. A time when art was living issue in politics and daily life. Next in date is the smaller Japanese painting, which dates from a century, more or less, after the Yakushi. Whether from the same subject or changed times, that came in with the Ashikaga Shogunate, the whole spirit is changed. The spirit of the Chinese Sung and yet being characteristically Japanese. The Buddhist art in Japan, from the middle of the fourteenth century to the end of the sixteenth, was influenced by the small paintings of Amida with the two attendants, Kwannon and Seishi, which are the earliest examples of the love of detail which came in with the end of the period. Over-refined perhaps they may seem to us now, but they still spirit and great feeling for design in the whole. The collection of the same subject has suffered much from decay and restoration, but there is in it a hint of earlier glories of modern gold.
