The image appears to be a page from a catalog or exhibition brochure. The page contains text describing an exhibition of works by the German artist Otto Kallir, with additional information about the works on display and their provenance.
The text on the page reads:
"ONE OF THE GREAT PLEASURES and excitements of the museum profession is the first-of-its-kind exhibition. A perusal of exhibition literature does not seem to suggest that this is the initial exhibition in the United States devoted entirely to the general and called Jugendstil in Austria and Germany, and called Jugendstil in Northern and Germany, and Nieuwe Kunst in the Netherlands; these movements are rather less well known than the Art Nouveau manifestations in France, Belgium, England and the United States. There is good reason for this relative obscurity: most of the great works from this period and geographical area have remained in Europe and there may even be a Paris-inclination in this country toward the art of Brussels, which more closely approximates the work of Tifan, Will Bradley and other Americans.
Several factors led to the selection of this particular subject. At the least, of course, is the singular aspect of the museum itself, with its unique emphasis on Germanic art. Moreover, the arts of this period have always been of great interest to the former curator (the Busch-Reisinger Museum was one of the first institutions to mount an Art Nouveau survey a number of years ago), and this will be the first exhibition made possible by the Charles L. Kuhn Endowment Fund, established in honor of a year ago to provide additional exhibition funds.
The relative rarity of Jugendstil works in this country does not mean that there are not fine examples in museum and private collections; it does mean, however, that diligence and, above all, cooperation is necessary to bring them together. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that I thank the following lenders and curators who have been so generous with their works and so helpful in the search for fine examples of the exquisite art from around 1900.
Mrs. Lillian Nassau, New York; Robert Kashey, Shepherd Gallery, New York; Martin Edelstein, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey; Otto Kallir, Galerie St. Etienne, New York; John Rhodes, Jr., Cambridge, Massachusetts; John Ackerman, Astor Courter, Department of Prints and Drawings, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; James May, Director, The Vienna Workshop, New York; Miss Janet Thorpe, Associate Curator, Cooper-Hewitt Museum, Department of Decorative Arts and Design, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
Joseph Gross, Cambridge; Sinclair Hitchings, Keeper of Prints and Drawings, Boston Public Library, Boston; Miss Louisa Dresser, Curator, Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, Mass; Agnes Morgan, Director, Worcester Art Museum; Harvey D. Feins, Director, Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass; Alan Shestack, New York; Timothy Riggs, New York; Serge Sabarsky, New York; Professor and Mrs. Seymour Yale University Art Gallery; Prof. and Mrs. Wish, Cambridge, Mass; and several anonymous lenders who wished to remain anonymous.
I would like to extend a special note of gratitude to J. Jonathan Ostowe of Boston whose interest in the museum of this subject has led him to donate a permanent collection.
