This image displays two aged newspaper clippings glued onto a single page of a scrapbook or archive folder. The paper has a yellowed, vintage tint, indicating its age. Both clippings are from publications associated with the New England Newslady Agency, Inc., and are dated October 1958.
On the left is a shorter article from the Worcester, Mass., Gazette (e), dated October 18, 1958, and marked “A Rembrandt For Our Museum.” It announces the Worcester Art Museum’s acquisition of a “Rembrandt portrait, ‘Saint Bartholomew,’” purchased from Harvard University. The article highlights that this is a major acquisition for the museum and mentions new museum director Daniel Catton Rich’s intent to focus on acquisitions from Harvard to strengthen Worcester’s collection. It also recalls the museum’s past Rembrandt exhibition and notes the prominence of other artists in their collection, such as Goya, Raphael, and Manet.
On the right is a larger, more detailed article from the Sunday Telegram, also from Worcester, Mass., Republican, with a stamp indicating it was received on October 19, 1958. The headline is “Art and Artists: Wadsworth Atheneum Enriched” by Walter Meigel. It reports on a significant gift of 28 paintings and drawings to the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Conn., from the estate of Philip H. Goodwin. The donated works include pieces by Van Gogh (“Self Portrait”), Jackson Pollock, and others. The article also details other museum events, such as a retrospective of Peruvian artist Fernando Leger, a show titled “Modern Centaur” featuring a bronze statue by Dimitri Hadzi, and upcoming exhibitions at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It also notes the museum’s acquisition of a watercolor by French abstract painter Permeke and mentions other artists represented in their collection, such as Picasso, Matisse, and Vuillard.
The clippings are preserved with care, and the handwritten stamp dates suggest they were cataloged as part of a historical collection. The overall theme is a celebration of art acquisitions and cultural enrichment in New England museums during the late 1950s.
