The clipping is from the Valley Advocate (Amherst), dated February 25, 1976. It is from the “ARTS” section and features an article titled:
“Intriguing Indian Art Worth a Trip To Cambridge”
The article reviews an exhibition of Indian and Southeast Asian art at the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University in Cambridge. The exhibition, titled “Indian Art from the George P. Bickford Collection,” is described as a traveling show originating at the Cleveland Museum of Art. It showcases a personal summary of art objects collected over 50 years, spanning nearly 5,000 years and regions from Java to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The article praises the collection for bringing together exquisite examples of paintings, sculpture, and objects from Hindu, Buddhist, and Islamic traditions. It notes that while the subject is vast and historical, the works are unified by their aesthetic appeal.
It highlights a specific artifact — a red sandstone fragment from the Sunga Period (185-72 B.C.) titled “Hand Holding a Leaf” — as an example of the delicate craftsmanship found throughout.
The review also notes that the exhibition is accompanied by an explanatory catalogue prepared by Stanislaw Czuma, curator of Indian art at the Cleveland Museum.
On the right side of the article, there is a black-and-white photograph of a painting. The caption beneath it identifies the work as:
“Raja Brijraj Dev of Jammu, a painting from Jammu, circa 1760.”
The article concludes by noting that despite the vast range of subjects and styles, the artworks display “an astonishing coordination of rich detail” and are “seemingly inexhaustible in its charm.”
In summary, the image is a preserved newspaper review of a significant art exhibition, highlighting its scope, artistic quality, and cultural importance, with an accompanying image of a 18th-century portrait.
