...black-tie openings kept the museums of the Boston area and its formal-wear renters in happy collusion this week. Tuesday night, the Fogg Museum presented its latest original exhibit--investigating the works of 19th century architect H. H. Richardson. Richardson, who created Sever and Austin Halls among other masterpieces, was very cooperative in leaving his old blueprints lying around for the sake of posterity. They are very handsomely exhibited here, with early pictures of the buildings and Richardson's writing. A sneak preview of the show last Sunday proved fascinating. Now, with the finishing touches added, it should...
...outdone, the Museum of Fine Arts tonight opens "The Changing Image: Prints by Francisco Goya."

At the Hoover Museum one of the exhibits displays K'ang Hsi and Ming porcelains collected by Mrs. Hoover between 1899 and 1901 when Hoover, an engineer, (with what a government brochure calls "an international reputation as a `doctor of sick...
...stares that pop art has been receiving in the West for more than a decade. Although organizers had promised that there would be no overtly anti-Soviet or religious art, there was one surrealist still life boldly titled Homage to Pasternak, and another artist caused an ideological stir by exhibiting a psychedelic portrait of Jesus. After taking a stroll through the exhibit, Poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko remarked: "I see some good pictures, some bad ones and some mediocre ones, but the most important fact is that they are here in the first place...
