...world in and around Cambridge has been producing thousands of words, but few pictures worth looking at, these weeks. Anthony Caro's sculpture at the MFA, one of the bright oases in the desert of exhibits, is leaving the museum May 9; Wedding just closed at the Carpenter Center. Gund Hall is trying to sell the Semitic Museum in an exhibit that contains three objects and lots of propaganda to show that something is going on over in the basement of the Center for International Affairs, where the Museum is buried. The Fogg's Contemporary Photographs are contemporary...
...time less threatening than Reading Period. Upstairs at the Fogg, Orazio Gentileschi's Madonna With the Sleeping Christ Child (a recent acquisition) shines with that inexplicable inner light of Caravaggio, Gentileschi's master. And in a small back gallery on the first floor of the museum the Heinz Gotze Exhibit of Japanese Art exemplifies the peculiarly Oriental process of passing from the seen to the unseen.

Fortunately Harvard professors who have...
Brush and Ink: the Heinz Gotze Collection of Japances Art, at the Fogg through June 4. Gotze's aim in assembling the collection he said, was to find examples that would illuminate what is special and different about East Asian art. Indeed, this small but stellar exhibit questions some of the fundamental assumptions of the Western viewer. Condensed to haiku precision, works like "Fly Whisk" perceive a foreign value-system in a familiar reality. The real merges disconcertingly without effort into the imaginary in the writing of "Metaphor for Buddha", or in the shifting space of Kobe Ho Shinno...
