This image displays a torn, aged newspaper clipping, likely from the mid-20th century, set against a plain, light gray background.

The clipping features a headline in bold, black, sans-serif font: "Collection Shows". Below the headline is a black-and-white photograph depicting three framed artworks hanging on a gallery wall in a row.

From left to right, the artworks appear as follows:

• A small, vertically oriented piece with an abstract or symbolic design.
• A larger, central, square-framed artwork with a complex, possibly biomorphic or surrealist composition, featuring swirling dark and light shapes.
• A square-framed piece on the right with a dense, dark, almost inkblot-like abstract form against a light background.

Beneath the photograph is a caption identifying the works:

“RUSSIA” by Wassily Kandinsky, “Butterflies” by Fernand Léger, and “Spain” by Joan Miró, part of the exhibition, “Contemporaries in Color” at Robbins Library through February, arranged by Miss Ellen P. Wiese, Curator.

In the upper right corner of the clipping, the word “Fogg” is handwritten in pencil, likely referring to the Fogg Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums), suggesting this clipping is from a collection associated with that institution.
