This image shows an open scrapbook page with a light brown, aged, and slightly stained paper background. The page is filled with several newspaper clippings and press service labels, all related to the American art scene in the mid-1960s, specifically concerning art lectures and exhibitions.
The clippings are mounted asymmetrically across the page and appear to be related to a single person or event: Miss Agnes Mongan, curator of drawings at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University. The content centers around an illustrated lecture she gave on “Trends in Painting” at the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, in the fall of 1967.
Key elements include:
Top Left: A label for American Press Clipping Service Inc. (New York), with a stamped date of “7 20 1967” and a reference to an article from the Evening Star (Washington, D.C.). It mentions John Coolidge, director of the Fogg Art Museum, as a guest speaker discussing the German sculptor Wilhelm Lehmbruck.
Top Right: A clipping from the Courier-Express announcing “Author to Speak at Art Gallery.” It confirms Miss Agnes Mongan as the lecturer, detailing the topic (“Trends in Painting”), the gallery (Albright Art Gallery), and the date (Monday evening, Oct. 2). It highlights that her lecture includes a special showing of the gallery’s master drawings and notes she is a UNESCO committee member.
Middle Left: A label for Buckelle’s Press Clipping Bureau (New York) also dated “7 20 1967,” with the same Washington Star article about John Coolidge and Lehmbruck.
Middle Right: An “Art Calendar” clipping from the same Courier-Express, listing the Mongan lecture under “Albright Art Gallery,” with additional exhibition details.
Bottom Left: Another clipping mentioning “To Honor Miss Mongan” — noting that Mr. and Mrs. Gordon M. Smith will give a dinner in her honor in Irvington, New York, to celebrate her role as guest speaker and assistant director of the Fogg Art Museum.
Bottom Center/Right: The main article, headlined “Art Moves With Time, Says Critic,” from the Courier-Express. This article reports on Miss Mongan’s lecture, in which she states, “An artist changes over time... ideas and the new forms of expression grow out of this process.” She emphasizes that styles change, and the “new style will emerge from the traditional,” discussing the evolution of art from the 17th to 20th centuries.
Overall, this scrapbook page functions as a curated archive documenting Miss Agnes Mongan’s national recognition and scholarly outreach in 1967, as well as related activities at Harvard and the Albright Art Gallery. The physical condition — tattered edges, discoloration, paper clips — suggests it is a working or personal collection from the era.
