This image displays a collection of vintage newspaper clippings from April 1949, mounted on a piece of aged, brownish paper—likely a folder or scrapbook page—and secured with three brass brads along the right edge. The clippings, all from Boston, New York, and Buffalo newspapers, document cultural events and news from the period.
Main Article (Right Side):
The largest and most prominent clipping is from The Christian Science Monitor, dated April 1, 1949. It features an article titled:
“Bauhaus Exhibition in Cambridge— Preliminary Display on View At Harvard Germanic Museum”
Written by Dorothy Adlow, the article details an exhibition of Bauhaus art, design, and artifacts at the Germanic Museum (now the Harvard Art Museums). It describes the historical significance of the Bauhaus school, its focus on functional design, and its influence on modern art and architecture. Featured items include glasswork by Mary Knobler Hilditch, textile designs by Anni Albers, a tubular steel chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, photography by László Moholy-Nagy, and works by Walter Gropius.
The article includes a black-and-white photograph of Walter Gropius, identified in the caption as “Portrait by Waldemar Ramisch of Edward W. Forbes, director-emeritus of the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard, now on exhibition at the Rhode Island School of Design at Providence.” The caption appears to contain an error, as the portrait is of Gropius, not Forbes.
A small advertisement for Burrelle’s Press Clipping Bureau in New York is located at the bottom right of this clipping.
