The page is printed on aged, yellowed paper and is laid open across two facing pages, with the left page being the primary focus. The headline is dominated by a large article titled:
“This Month: Jacob Van Ruisdael, a Three-Hundredth Anniversary Exhibit”
This article announces a major retrospective of the Dutch landscape artist Jacob Van Ruisdael (1628/29–1682), held at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to mark the 300th anniversary of his death. The piece includes an inset photograph of the artist’s famous painting, “The Windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede,” which is described as “A Dutch masterpiece” and central to the exhibition. The article notes that the exhibit was organized by Seymour Slive and Hans Hoetink, and that the catalog includes over 100 works from international collections.
Above the main article, two smaller “preview” sections are featured:
At the bottom of the left page, there is a second major article:
“Harvard refuses gay liberation sculpture”
This piece reports that Harvard University declined a donation of a sculpture titled Gay Liberation by artist George Segal. The sculpture — a bronze, life-sized group of two men seated on a bench and two women seated on a bench — was originally commissioned in 1979 for a New York City park. Harvard officials cited concerns over campus politics and the “motives for its refusal,” while activists viewed the rejection as discriminatory.
A small stamp from the Boston Globe, Boston, MA is also visible, along with the date “JAN 30 1982.”
The right-hand page continues the article on Van Ruisdael, providing more detail about the historical significance of the exhibit, the catalog, and its broader cultural context in American museums. It also notes concurrent exhibitions at Harvard, including displays of Chinese, Japanese, and Oriental art.
