Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open book or scrapbook, showing two pages filled with newspaper clippings, likely from December 1946.

Overall Presentation:
The pages are yellowed with age, suggesting they are original or well-preserved historical documents. The clippings are pasted onto the pages, some overlapping, indicating a curated collection of articles.

Left Page:

• The top of the page features two identical clippings labeled "BOSTON NEWS CLIP" from "150 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass." One is from the "Christian Science Monitor" dated "DEC 27 1946," and the other is from the "Herald" dated "DEC 28 1946." Both are press release-style announcements from the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University, concerning a new exhibition titled "French Graphic Art from Manus to Daumier," which opened on December 28, 1946.
• Below these, there is a large, multi-column article titled "REGARDING ART" by Lawrence Dane. This article reviews the art scene in Boston for the past year, mentioning exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts, the St. Botolph Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, and Copley Society. It also discusses the retirement of James S. Plaut and the founding of the Boston Art Club. At the bottom of this page, there is a smaller section titled "Old and Young," which mentions the passing of artist Arthur G. Goodwin and the upcoming exhibition of his work.
• A handwritten note, "1287," is visible in pencil near the top right corner of the left page.

Right Page:

• The main article, prominently displayed, is titled "Daumier Peak" with the sub-headline "Lithographs and Shown at Fogg". It is written by "Dorothy" (likely Dorothy C. Miller, an art critic and curator) and includes a small, dark, grainy photograph of a man, presumably Honoré Daumier, standing in a cluttered room. The text discusses the Fogg Museum's exhibition of Daumier's lithographs, praising his "supremely endowed" artistic talent, his political satire, and his influence despite being "a pictorial journalist" who didn't always achieve "brilliance or flexibility of contour." It also notes his work's connection to "the spirit of liberation" and "modern revolutions."
• To the right of this article, a portion of another clipping is visible. The headline reads "Congress Plan to 1946", which appears to be about post-World War II economic planning. Further down, another article begins with the title "Foreign TVA's Export Potential".

Conclusion:
The scrapbook pages serve as a historical record of the Boston art world in late 1946, focusing heavily on the major exhibition of Honoré Daumier's work at Harvard's Fogg Museum. The collection includes press releases, critical reviews, and broader cultural commentary, offering a snapshot of the period's art discourse.
