The clippings primarily concern the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The most prominent clipping on the left page is from the New York Times, dated April 21, 1929, under the headline “ONE OF HARVARD’S GATES”. It features a sepia-toned photograph captioned “Entrance to the New Fogg Museum at Cambridge,” credited to “Photograph by Ewing Galloway.” This shows the museum’s grand, classical-style stone entrance with steps, columns, and ivy-covered walls.
The right page is densely packed with smaller clippings:
A clipping from the Gazette dated April 27, 1929, titled “FOGG ART MUSEUM”, announces exhibitions of “Paintings and Drawings,” “Prints,” and “Recent Accessions.” It notes acquisitions including embroideries, prints, Oriental paintings, sculpture, pottery, and an “anti-phonal with illuminations by Lippo Vanni,” obtained by purchase or gift. These exhibitions were to last “several weeks.”
Below that is a more extensive article from April 13, 1929, from The Listener. This article discusses the recent Van Gogh exhibition at the Fogg Museum. It notably recounts the controversial removal of Van Gogh’s “Portrait with the Wounded Ear” (also called “Portrait with a Pipe”) from public display on the last day of the exhibition, due to its perceived “insanity” and “morbid” nature. The article defends the painting as a masterpiece and a “human document of great force,” lamenting the censorship and criticizing the museum's decision. It also mentions the broader context of the exhibition, which included works by Degas, Monet, and Gauguin, and praises the Fogg Museum for showcasing significant European art.
