2. The Real Paper Clipping (May 16, 1993):

   • This clipping features a review or commentary on the same exhibition.
   • It highlights Hodler's significance as an artist, noting his association with Pavia de Chavannes and his role as a major figure in the Symbolist movement.

The page appears to be part of a larger collection, as indicated by the visible edges of other pages and documents on the left side of the image. The clippings are neatly arranged and annotated with dates and publication names, suggesting careful archiving.

The image shows an open scrapbook with two newspaper clippings pasted onto one of its pages. The page is dated "May 11, 1973," and the scrapbook is labeled "Harvard University Gazette."

The first clipping at the top features a drawing. The caption below the drawing reads: "An exhibition of the works of Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918) opened last week at the Busch-Reisinger, after a benefit concert by the Telemann Society, a gala black-tie reception of Swiss wines and Swiss cheeses, and a preview for Associates of the Museum and Friends of the Fogg. The collection covers the walls of most of the first floor of the Busch-Reisinger. This one is one of a series of 'The Dying Madame Valentine Godé-Darel.'"

The second clipping below it is titled "A definite must-see is the FERDINAND HODLER exhibit at the Busch-Reisinger, Harvard. Hodler was, along with P. de Chavannes, probably the most important innovator of monumental decorative painting at the turn of the century. The influence of his work on the Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements in France and Germany was immense. His figure in the Symbolist art of the period was a bridge between the romanticism of Delacroix and the modernism of Matisse and the Fauves. He was also a great portraitist, and the portrait of his wife, shown here, is a fine example of his work. The exhibit, which includes many of his drawings as well as some free, colorful landscapes, will be on view until May 20."

The clipping is additionally annotated with "The Real Paper, May 16, 1973" handwritten at the bottom.

It describes Hodler as one of the most important innovators of monumental painting at the turn of the century, a key figure in the Symbolist movement, and an influence on Expressionism. Hodler's works often dealt with themes of mortality, inspired by personal tragedies, including the deaths of his parents and siblings. The note suggests that the exhibit provides a profound look at the human condition through Hodler's paintings and drawings, recommending it highly.
