This image displays an open, aged book or scrapbook with visibly yellowed, brittle pages. The content is composed of newspaper clippings, suggesting a collection of historical articles.
The most prominent article, on the left page, is titled:
Self-Portrait in Letters
By Rubens, Artist-Humanist
It is dated June 18, 1953 and authored by Peter Paul Rubens (though this is likely a misattribution or refers to a modern work about the artist). The article, edited by Ruth Schonfeld Rogers (Harcourt, Ltd., New York) and reviewed by Francis Henry Taylor, discusses a collection of letters by the 17th-century Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens. The text explains how these letters reveal a different, more human side of Rubens—detailing his personal life, interests, and relationships, such as the birth of his son and his correspondence with his daughter Clara Serena. It mentions his travels and his role as a diplomat, contrasting with his public image as a “saint of painting.” A small captioned photo of Francis Henry Taylor is embedded in the text.
The right page, dated Mar 19 1955, is from the Whiston Press Clipping Service, Buffalo, N.Y. It features a headline:
RUBENS DISPLAY TO OPEN TUESDAY
The article announces an exhibition of Rubens’ oil sketches and drawings, to be displayed at the Morgan Library (at 36th St. & Madison Ave., New York City). It highlights the international significance of the exhibition, drawing works from major collections including the Morgan Library, National Gallery, London, Prado, Madrid, and others. The piece also includes a detailed schedule of opening hours for various New York art institutions for the week (Monday through Saturday), such as the Metropolitan Museum, Whitney Museum, and MoMA. This section concludes with an “ALSO TODAY” list of other gallery openings.
