...Harvard Book Store is showing some contemporary paintings by young Korean painters, several of whom have won the Korean National Exhibition. Most of the works are examples of traditional Oriental themes--landscapes, bird and flower scenes, waterfalls--done in watercolor or brush and ink. All are for sale and most are expensive but a few show a control of color and technique that let them transcend the banality of their subject matter...
...Fogg has a couple of new shows which feature the talents of local artists. An exhibition of contemporary "drawings" by nine Boston artists is hanging in the Drawing Study and Balcony.

This time, with his customary blend of beauty and utility (opposite page), Spier presents the 25-hour bombardment of Fort McHenry...
...millions. His infrequent exhibitions -the most recent of which is a retrospective organized by Art Historian Wanda M. Corn at the De Young Museum in San Francisco-jam the galleries with visitors; in the U.S. only Picasso can pull more crowds than Wyeth. The price of a Wyeth watercolor begins at about $20,000, and his minutely detailed tempera paintings, of which he manages to finish about two a year, are said to have gone past $100,000 apiece...
