This image displays a page from a newspaper clipping scrapbook, featuring articles and images primarily focused on art exhibitions, specifically centered around Rembrandt and 20th-century artists like Jankel Adler.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the contents:

Main Headline & Article:

• Publication: Worcester Daily Telegram, Thursday, May 5, 1960, Page 24.
• Main Article Title: “Art: Rembrandt Drawings At Fogg Museum”
• Author: George Y. Moriis
• Content: This article reviews an exhibition of Rembrandt drawings at the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It discusses the significance of the drawings, noting that they are from the Pierpont Morgan Library collection in New York and were selected to show Rembrandt’s mastery and his “tremendous concern for human beings.” The article also touches on Rembrandt’s use of the pen, the solid foundation of his technique, and the depth of his understanding of space and light. It mentions that the drawings include portraits and landscapes, and highlights the skillful handling of wash and pen in his work, which reveals him as a “supreme calligraphic draughtsman.”

Left-Side Feature:

• Headline: “‘VERTICAL FIGURE’: A Painting by Jankel Adler”
• Image: A black-and-white reproduction of a painting titled Vertical Figure by Jankel Adler (1895–1949), a Polish-born artist who studied in Germany and is associated with the modernist movement.
• Article Summary: This piece, written by Dorothy Arlow, compares Adler’s Vertical Figure (recently shown at the Fogg Art Museum) with Wassily Kandinsky’s Light and Dark. It focuses on the “invigorating” quality of modern art and how both artists departed from traditional form and space. Adler’s work is noted for its “strips or spots” and “schematic” style, which reflect a “more rigorous” and “consciously simplified” approach compared to Kandinsky’s “vigorously intellectual” abstraction. The text emphasizes Adler’s focus on the “conception of hidden outlook” and symbolic expression.
