This image displays a press clipping from The Christian Science Monitor, dated March 27, 1944, which has been mounted on a larger, aged piece of beige paper, likely for archival purposes. The clipping is from the “Press Clipping Service” located at 2 Park Square, Boston, Mass., and is addressed to “C.S. Monitor, Boston, Mass.”
The article, titled “Rodin Exhibition in Cambridge,” is written by Dorothy Adlow and reports on an exhibition of Auguste Rodin’s sculptures and drawings held at the Fogg Museum (now the Harvard Art Museums) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The main text, spanning two columns, provides a detailed critical review of Rodin’s work. It discusses his artistic evolution, his influences (such as Michelangelo and Gothic sculpture), his break with academic sculpture, and the emotional power and technical innovation of his pieces. Specific works mentioned include The Man with a Broken Nose, The Bronze Age, and The Eternal Idol. The review highlights Rodin’s mastery of form, surface, and expression, and notes his influence on modern art and contemporaries like Gustav Mahler.
To the right of the article, two black-and-white photographs accompany the text:
Top Photo: A portrait of Auguste Rodin, showing him as an older man with a prominent beard and intense gaze. The caption below reads: “Rodin’s ‘Victor Hugo’ On exhibition at the Fogg Museum of Art in Cambridge.” This caption appears to be misplaced or misleading, as the image is of Rodin himself, not his sculpture of Victor Hugo.
Bottom Photo: A black-and-white photograph of Rodin’s sculpture “Victor Hugo”, a seated, monumental figure of the French writer. Its caption, though partially obscured, likely identifies the work.
Below the main article is a smaller section titled “Art Exhibitions,” listing other concurrent gallery and museum exhibitions in the Boston area, including venues like the Boston Public Library, R. H. White Gallery, and Copley Society of Art.
At the very bottom, a short column titled “Outside Boston” lists exhibitions in other New England locations, such as Manchester (N.H.) and Rhode Island.
The clipping is held onto the backing paper with two dark, round fasteners (likely brads or paper fasteners) along the left margin, and the paper itself shows signs of aging, with discoloration and slight wear at the edges.
In summary, this is a vintage newspaper clipping from 1944 documenting and critiquing a major Rodin exhibition at Harvard’s Fogg Museum, including images of the artist and one of his sculptures, preserved as part of a press clipping service archive.
