Fogg Museum Shows Recent Accessions

Collection of Varied Objects Contains Excavation Finds as Well as Other Art

CAMBRIDGE, Feb. 21, 21 - A new exhibition of recent additions to the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, is now on view. It includes material secured by purchase or gift during the past two months. Last summer the directors discovered in France a set of embroideries of the sixteenth century, which, because of their quality and preservation, are of great interest. The embroideries, which are to be hung in the Renaissance room, represent the Crucifixion, the Virgin and Child, the Presentation, and the Adoration of the Magi. The background of these embroideries is of gold and silver thread, and the figures are worked in silk of various colors. The faces and hands are of a yellowish-white, and the draperies are in shades of blue, red, and green. In the draperies the artist has used a variety of stitches, which gives a rich and beautiful effect. The embroideries are in excellent condition, and it is hoped that they will be of great help in the study of the art of the period.

The Fogg has also received an important gift of prints from Mr. Arthur Burdick of Chicago. The gift consists of about 100 prints, among which are some of the great masters of the eighteenth century. The gift is a valuable addition to the collection, and it is hoped that it will be of great use to the students of the Fogg.

The Dance of Death Completed

The great Triumphal Car by Albrecht Durer, which was the gift of Mr. Arthur Burdick of Chicago, has been completed by the addition of the figures of the Dance of Death, which were cut by Holbein. The figures, which are in the collection of the Fogg, were given by Mr. Burdick. The car, which is a reproduction of the one which Durer designed for the Emperor Maximilian, is a fine example of the art of the sixteenth century. It is hoped that the car will be of great use in the study of the art of the period.

Results of Excavation

Frequently one loses sight of the fact that the Fogg Museum has been actively engaged in excavations. During the winter of 1927 and 1928, the Fogg Museum, in conjunction with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, carried on excavations at Nippur, Iraq, the site of the ancient city of Nippur. The city was destroyed by fire about 1500 B.C., and the ruins of the buildings were covered by the sand of the desert. The excavations brought to light a number of important objects, among which are a number of cuneiform tablets, which are of great importance for the study of the early history of the city. The tablets are now on exhibition in the Fogg Museum.

Oriental Department

The Oriental Department of the Fogg Museum has been enriched by a number of important gifts. Among these is a collection of Chinese porcelain, which was given by Mr. and Mrs. Grenville L. Winthrop. The collection includes a number of important pieces, among which are a number of vases of the Ming period, which are of great rarity and beauty. The collection is now on exhibition in the Fogg Museum.

New Art Society Prepares Exhibit

Intends Supplement to Fogg Exhibition of French Work in 18th Century

WILL OPEN IN MARCH

Lays Stress Upon New Interpretative School of Artists—Crowd of 1100 Attend First Display

Preparations are being made by the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art for its second exhibition which will open on March 19 and will consist of twenty-one paintings by living French artists. The purpose of the show is to supplement the intended exhibition of French art of the eighteenth century at the Fogg Museum, beginning in the early part of March.

E. M. M. Warburg '28 and John Walker III '30 leave today for New York to select the paintings for the coming exhibit. Among the painters whose works will be included are: Laurencin, Utrillo, and Pascin. The paintings will be borrowed from the collections of the Fogg Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and private collectors.

The exhibition will open on March 19 and will continue for two weeks. The Fogg Museum will be open every day except Sunday from 9 to 5. Admission will be free.

The interest in the movement sponsored by this organization is well indicated by the fact that over 1100 people attended the first exhibition. The present show, it is hoped, will be even more successful. The Fogg Museum has been fortunate in securing the loan of a number of important paintings, which will be of great interest to the students of the Fogg Museum and to the public.

The second article, titled "New Art Society Prepares Exhibit," discusses the preparation of a French work exhibit by the New Art Society, set to open in March. The exhibit will include works from the early fifteenth to the seventeenth century, focusing on interpretative school paintings. The committee, led by E. M. Warburg and John Walker Hill, aims to show around 1100 pieces, with works by artists such as Laurencin, Chrico, Duyf, and Miro. The exhibit is intended to be a significant collection of French art from the early modern period.

The image shows an open book or scrapbook with aged yellowish pages containing several newspaper clippings related to the Fogg Museum. The clippings cover topics such as recent acquisitions by the museum, exhibition announcements, excavation findings, and details about art and artifacts. The headlines include:

• "Fogg Museum Shows Recent Accessions"
• "Collection of Varied Objects Contains Excavation Finds as Well as Other Art"
• A section on "Results of Excavation" discussing findings related to the Fogg Museum's supported excavations in Iraq.
• "NEW ART SOCIETY PREPARES EXHIBIT" about a supplementary exhibition of French work in the 18th century, mentioning the opening in March and involvement of Harvard Society for Contemporary Art.
• Smaller sections about Buddhist bronze divinity, the death of Hans Holbein, and the gift of a "great Triumphal Car" by Albrecht Durer.

The text is dense and formatted in columns, typical of old newspaper clippings pasted into a collector's book. The overall condition of the pages and clippings suggests careful preservation of historical documents related to art history and museum activities.

The image shows an open book or newspaper with a focus on the right-hand side page. The paper has aged and yellowed, indicating it may be quite old. The page contains printed text with various headlines and articles. The headline that stands out the most on the right side is "NEW ART SOCIETY PREPARES EXHIBIT," and there is mention of the Fogg Exhibition of French Work in the 18th Century, indicating the subject matter is related to art and art exhibitions. Below that, another headline reads, "Stress Upon New Interpretative School of Artists—Crowd of 1100 Attend First Display."

The content appears to detail upcoming art exhibitions and discussions about different art movements—in this case, emphasizing an interpretative art school. The text underneath is too small to read in detail, but it appears to be an article or report.

On the left-hand page, an article with the headline "Fogg Museum Shows Recent Accessions" can be seen, again suggesting the theme of art and museum displays.

Other visual elements include the binding of the book/newspaper visible in the center, suggesting that the pages are likely part of a larger compilation, possibly bound volumes of newspaper issues or a collection of articles. There are also visible shelf wear and signs of frequent use, such as slight creases on the pages’ edges.

The image shows an open book, likely a catalog or publication, featuring two columns of text on the right-hand page. The page is titled "Fogg Museum Shows Recent Accessions" and discusses recent acquisitions by the Fogg Museum, including a collection of varied objects from excavation sites, such as those from the Orient Department. The text details various artifacts, including embroideries, a bronze mirror, and other historical items, with descriptions of their origins, materials, and significance.

To the left of the text, there is a detailed illustration of an embroidered textile. The embroidery depicts a dramatic religious or historical scene, featuring figures in elaborate robes and settings, likely from a biblical or mythological narrative. The illustration is rendered in a rich, detailed style, showcasing intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The embroidery itself appears to be part of the museum's recent acquisitions, as referenced in the text.

The overall layout suggests this is a page from an art or museum catalog, providing both textual descriptions and visual representations of the museum's new holdings. The combination of text and illustration serves to inform readers about the historical and artistic value of the acquisitions.

The image appears to be a spread of an old book or magazine, with two pages visible. The text is printed in black ink on the cream-colored paper. The pages contain several articles and columns, including:
