This image displays a page from a vintage newspaper clipping album, showing a preserved article from The Christian Science Monitor. The page is mounted on aged, yellowed paper within a green-edged scrapbook.
The central feature is a newspaper clipping dated May 28, 1945, from The Home Forum section of The Christian Science Monitor. It features a reproduction of two charcoal head studies (sketches) of a young man, rendered in profile.
The caption identifies the subject as Emilio Bassi and the artist as John Singer Sargent. It notes that the drawings are reproduced "By Courtesy of the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, in The Christian Science Monitor."
Below the image is an article by Dorothy Aslow titled "TWO DRAWINGS OF EMILIO BASSI: By John Singer Sargent". The article discusses Sargent’s career as a portraitist, his technical mastery, and his departure from commercial portraiture to focus on watercolor and mural painting. It specifically notes that these sketches of Bassi show “two versions of the same subject, with a slight variation in the tilt of the chin,” and observes that Sargent “had respect for the Italian draftsmen of the Renaissance, even adopting some of their mannerisms.”
The same page also contains two smaller clippings from the Boston News-Clip Bureau, both announcing exhibitions at the Fogg Museum (May 28 and June 4, 1945), which likely coincide with the article’s publication.
Handwritten in pencil beneath the sketch are the words:
“Emilio Bassi
85 Lancaster R. M. [illegible]”
The overall presentation suggests this is an archival collection, possibly curated to document art exhibitions or Sargent’s work, with the clippings carefully preserved for historical reference. The paper’s yellowing and the use of archival paste suggest it is from mid-century preservation efforts.
