This image shows an open scrapbook page, likely part of a personal or institutional archive, containing two newspaper clippings from 1973, both marked “Gazette 3/11/73” in blue ink, indicating they were clipped from The Boston Gazette on March 11, 1973.
Top Clipping: Indian Miniature and Ingres Drawings
Left Column: Features a black-and-white reproduction of an Indian miniature painting titled “A Nayika and her lover”, dated circa 1680. The image depicts two figures in a richly decorated interior, possibly a palace setting. The caption explains that this is one of 48 Indian miniatures donated to the Fogg Museum (Harvard) by Professor John Kenneth Galbraith. The exhibition, showing court activities, sports, flora, fauna, and erotic subjects, was on view at the Hayden Gallery at MIT through April 7, 1973.
Right Column: Discusses a new exhibit of early drawings by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, discovered by Phyllis Hattis, a student at Fine Arts. The drawings, made when Ingres was 12–13, show studies of Greek statues and represent the beginning of his “sculptural” style. The article also mentions the Fogg’s exhibition of Greek coins and painted vases, including the “Kleophrates vase,” plus upcoming shows of contemporary Chinese landscapes by C.C. Wang and works by Jan Gruuthuse and Ferdinand Hodler. The section is signed “—Phil Patton.”
Bottom Clipping: C.C. Wang Exhibition
This larger article focuses on the Chinese-American artist C.C. Wang and his exhibition at the Fogg. It includes:
A large black-and-white reproduction of his ink wash painting, “Landscape No. 190” — an atmospheric, textured mountain scene rendered in traditional Chinese style.
A small inset portrait photograph of C.C. Wang, labeled “The artist, C.C. Wang.” He is shown in profile, wearing glasses and a suit.
The article includes a quote from Mr. Wang recalling his early years in China: “There were no museums, I bought them to teach myself…” — indicating his self-taught approach and inspiration from traditional Chinese art. He discusses his technique—creating sketches, then reorganizing them, and using crinkled paper to achieve texture. He mentions sourcing materials from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland.
The article notes that Mr. Wang’s exhibitions are popular, with almost every painting bought after opening, and concludes with his personal philosophy: “I'm very careful, not in a hurry, I want to do it right.” The clipping includes a handwritten margin note: “Hayward Crimson, March 10, 1973”, suggesting the article may have originated from The Harvard Crimson on March 10, 1973 — one day before the Gazette clipping date.

"Garette 3/11/73"
"Hayden Clinson. March 10, 1973"
"50 years ago in China—There were no museums, and I brought them to the museum itself—and clearly they are my inspiration for his own unique rodescapes. But his rockscapes are as modern as they are Chinese. 'I make sketches and then I reorganize the material. I don’t know what will come out. It develops by itself by my experience and technique.' Mr. Wang paints mountains for their textures. 'There are so many varieties. I can play around.' He gets help in achieving his effect from a crinkled paper that he buys without much trouble, he says. Chinese mainland."
