Japanese Painting May Be Real Find
The KU Museum of Art Friday reported the discovery of a valuable 14th or 15th century Japanese religious painting.
James Cahill, who is here as a Humanities lecturer, found the painting among items the Museum had stored for appraisal.
He is the curator of the Freer Gallery of Chinese Art at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D. C.
Cahill told Marilyn Stokstad, associate professor of art history and acting director of the museum, that the painting cannot be later than 15th century.
"The painting is in poor condition and must be cleaned before we can exhibit it, and that will take about a year." Prof. Stokstad said.
He said it was probably 14th century and maybe earlier. The value of the painting will not be known until its age is determined.
"There is only one man in the United States who cleans and restores old paintings, and he is at the Freer Gallery. If he is too busy to help us, we'll have to send the painting to Japan," she said.
"It will certainly be the finest thing in the oriental part of our collection," Prof. Stokstad said.

Pioneer Nuclear Physicist Dies at 77 in Copenhagen
COPENHAGEN, Denmark—(UPI)
Dr. Niels Bord, who unlocked the secrets of the atomic age nearly 50 years ago, died last night at the age of 77.
The pioneer nuclear physicist, whose work ranked with that of the late Albert Einstein, succumbed to a heart attack at his home, "The House of Honor," at the Carlsberg breweries here.
His wife, Margarethe, and three of their four sons were at his bedside when he died. A fourth son, a professor of physics, was reported en route home from a lecture tour of China.
WITHIN HOURS of the announcement of Bohr's death, tributes from all over the world began pouring in for the heavyset, quiet Jewish professor who unlocked the secret of atomic structure.
