Capperino, Professor of Art at Colby College, the exhibit is based on the theories of Arthur Pope, Professor of Fine Arts at Harvard. Professor Pope's major contribution to art is his theories and their application to appreciating and approaching a great work. To assist this end, the exhibit includes paintings by such artists as Monet, Renoir, Picasso, and Hopper, as well as paintings of the Fogg, Rubens, and Rembrandt collections. In consultation with Mr. Pope (now 94), Mr. Fisher has selected paintings that demonstrate the use of color in art. The exhibit will be on display at the Fogg through the summer. A companion exhibit, 'Color Around Us,' is now at the Boston Museum of Science."
   • The date "5/3/74" is handwritten in red ink below the caption.

The photographs are attached to the brown paper background with two blue paper fasteners visible on the right side of the image. The date "MAY 3" is handwritten in red ink on the brown paper near the top photograph.

The image displays a page with two photographs, both dated 5/13/74.

1. The top photograph is a black-and-white image of an intricate carving on the facade of the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The caption reads: "Carving on the facade of the Busch-Reisinger Museum. (Photo: Rick Stafford)". Additional handwritten notes, possibly indicating a location or context, are present next to the photograph, mentioning "GAZETTE" and "MAY 3" with the page number "P. 7".

2. The bottom photograph features a man, identified as Research Professor Howard T. Fisher, examining models on display at the Fogg Museum.
