This image displays a historical press clipping, meticulously preserved and mounted on a piece of cardstock from Burrelle’s Press Clipping Bureau, a service established in 1888 with offices in New York and Barclay 7-5371.

Headline:
Institute to Hold Degas Show Preview

Article Summary:
The preview is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, March 6, 1944. It will be hosted by the Friends of the Institute and features the first exhibition in the institute’s spring series: “Degas’ Portraits of His Family and Friends.”

The event will begin at 3:15 pm with a discussion led by Richard S. Davis, senior curator, who will introduce and discuss Degas as a portraitist. The exhibition includes 25 portraits by Edgar Degas, described in the article as “the greatest painter of the nineteenth century.”

These portraits were specially borrowed for the exhibit. Notably, the article highlights:

• Degas’ "Portrait of Rene, the Artist's Younger Brother", on loan from Smith College.
• Six portraits borrowed from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
• Five portraits borrowed from Harvard University — this line is underlined with a red pencil, indicating it was likely the reason the clipping was saved or highlighted by its original collector.

The event will conclude with tea at 4:00 pm, sponsored by the Friends of the Institute and offered to members of the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts and to all educational groups in the Twin Cities with an interest in the arts.

Observations:

• The clipping appears well-preserved, with minor aging along the edges.
• The red pencil underline under “Harvard University” suggests personal or institutional interest in that particular detail — perhaps indicating a connection to Harvard or a desire to track the loan.
• The format, typography, and language reflect mid-20th century newspaper style and institutional event promotion.

This item offers a snapshot of cultural life in Minneapolis during WWII and highlights the importance of museum exhibitions and educational outreach at the time.
