Fine Arts Tutor Reviews Exhibition of Allan Clark
Sculpture at New Fogg—Finds Oriental Influences
The article reviews an exhibition of sculptures by Allan Clark at the New Fogg Art Museum (now the Harvard Art Museums). It is written by R. T. Paine Jr., identified as a tutor and assistant in the Fine Arts Department at Harvard University.
The review is highly analytical and critical, discussing the influence of Asian (particularly Chinese and Japanese) artistic traditions on Clark’s work — a topic Paine Jr. finds both innovative and problematic. He contrasts Western ideals of proportion and form with the “Oriental” emphasis on spiritual expression and surface detail. Notable mentions include Clark’s bronze "Yang Kuei Fei," his sculpture "The Conspirator," and "The Japanese Courtesan," which Paine critiques for its “decoration” over “true effect.” He also references the "King’s Temptress," "Goddess Parvati," and "The Delia Robbia."
Paine Jr. ultimately concludes that while Clark’s work shows “delightful” and “pleasing” Oriental influences, it falls short of being true monumental sculpture, instead resembling “the eye and soul of decorative value.”
