The image shows a page from a newspaper, specifically from "The New York Times," dated Sunday, September [partially obscured]. The page is titled "THE WEST AND THE EAST CAN..." with a subheading "EASTERN SCULPTURE" and further text beneath it. The article discusses "Brilliant Work by American Sculptor, the Result of Long Study in the Far East" by Elisabeth L. Cary. The text is written in a typical newspaper column format, with multiple paragraphs discussing the sculptor's work, influenced by his extensive study of Eastern art and culture, particularly in Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries.
The page has visible signs of wear, including some creases, discoloration, and a tear at the bottom of the page. There are also some stamps or marks on the page, possibly indicating it was part of a collection or scrapbook, and a small piece of paper or label is affixed near the top of the page, which appears to have the name "Allan Clark" and an address in New York. The overall condition suggests that this is an older newspaper clipping, likely from the early to mid-20th century.
This image is of a vintage newspaper clipping from The New York Times, dated Sunday, September. It is stored in a maroon-colored archival folder, and the clipping is partially taped to the folder. The clipping appears to be from the arts section, focusing on an article titled "The West and the East Can Meet: Eastern Sculpture", written by Elisabeth L. Cary.
The article discusses the work of Allan Clark, an American sculptor, whose art is influenced by his studies in the Far East. It highlights an exhibition of his recent sculptures, which is set to open at the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and will later move to New York. The exhibition includes portrait busts of Chinese and Indian subjects, as well as other sculptures influenced by his travels to countries such as Japan, China, Siam (Thailand), Cambodia, Java, and India.
The article delves into the historical and cultural context of Eastern sculpture, mentioning the Khmers of Cambodia, the art of Angkor Wat, and the influence of these ancient sculptures on modern artists. It also discusses the challenges of transporting these large, heavy sculptures from their original locations to museums in the West.
There are some additional annotations and markings on the clipping, including a handwritten note at the top left corner that reads "Allan Clark 176 Thirteenth Avenue New York," and a small circular mark near the bottom right corner, possibly indicating a page number or a reference point. The clipping is well-preserved, with some minor wear and tear, and it is secured to the folder with clear tape.

A sub-headline reads:
EASTERN SCULPTURE
And a further descriptive line:
Brilliant Work by American Sculptor, the Result of Long Study in the Far East
The article is attributed to By ELISABETH L. CARY. The text details the work of American sculptor Allan Clark, particularly his collection of portraits and sculptures made after extensive study in the Far East—specifically China, Siam, Cambodia, Java, and India. It describes the influence of Eastern, especially Khmer (Cambodian) sculpture on Clark’s work, contrasting the spiritual, symbolic nature of Eastern art with Western realism. It mentions his exhibitions in New York and the technical and cultural challenges involved in replicating or interpreting ancient Eastern forms.
The right page continues the article, with a header that reads:
THE NEW YORK TIMES, SUNDAY, SE...
(Likely “SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER...” — the rest is cut off)
This page further discusses the “Dramatic Experience” of acquiring and interpreting ancient Cambodian art, referencing French archaeological efforts and the emotional and aesthetic impact of these sculptures. It mentions museums like the Boston Museum and the Brooklyn Museum Quarterly (April, 1923), and includes a quote from Elizabeth F. Robb. The text reflects early 20th-century perspectives on Eastern art and Western appreciation of it, touching on themes of cultural authenticity, craftsmanship, and the spiritual versus the material.
At the bottom of the right page, a partial phrase is visible: “history or invention or bus...”
