Loss Of Old Jap Art Regretted At Harvard
The article reports that Harvard University officials expressed “dismay” over the loss by fire of eleven ancient Japanese paintings from the golden hall of Hōryū-ji Monastery, one of Japan’s famous cultural sites. In response, Harvard placed full-scale reproductions of the paintings on display in the central court of its Fogg Museum of Art.
Langdon Warner, curator of the Oriental department at the museum, is quoted comparing the cultural loss to the destruction of Western masterpieces: “the loss to Oriental art of this structure might be compared to the loss western art would suffer if Hagia Sophia or the Sistine Chapel were destroyed.”
The clipping is typewritten in classic newspaper style, with bold headline and standard serif body text. The paper shows signs of age, with slightly yellowed edges and faint ink smudges, consistent with its 1949 provenance.
