This image displays page 13 of the “ARTS” magazine, dated November 1955. The page features an arts review article titled “BOSTON” by James Mellow, focusing on an exhibition of works by the French Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The article describes the Fogg Art Museum’s exhibition, which presented forty-six paintings, drawings, and watercolors by Delacroix from New England private collections. The exhibition ran through November 26, 1955, and was held in conjunction with a two-day symposium on Delacroix and Baudelaire.
Key points from the article include:
The page contains two reproductions of Delacroix’s drawings, located at the bottom:
Left Image — A dynamic, energetic pen-and-ink sketch capturing a chaotic, dramatic moment. Several figures are in motion, appearing to be engaged in combat or a violent struggle. The caption identifies it as a drawing “after” an old master — specifically, from Rubens’ Coup de Lance — suggesting Delacroix was studying or reinterpreting an earlier masterpiece.
Right Image — A soft, expressive portrait drawing of a woman’s head and shoulders. She wears a head covering or turban, and her expression is calm, direct, and serene. The style reveals Delacroix’s sensitive draughtsmanship. The caption notes it is “after” Holbein’s Anne of Cleves — indicating another study or homage to a Renaissance master.
Both drawings are credited as being part of the Fogg Art Museum’s collection.
In summary, this magazine page documents a mid-century scholarly appreciation of Delacroix’s artistic legacy, celebrating his work through a regional exhibition and placing it within the broader context of 19th-century art historical debates between Romanticism and Neo-Classicism. The visual reproductions exemplify his skill as a draughtsman and interpreter of classical and Renaissance sources.
