This image displays a page from a newspaper clipping album, opened to feature the front page of The Home Forum section of the Christian Science Monitor, dated Saturday, February 13, 1965.

The main article on the page is dominated by a large, striking black-and-white woodcut print titled “Tigers,” created by the German artist Franz Marc (1880–1916). The artwork is bold and stylized, depicting two tigers amidst a dense, patterned jungle environment; one tiger is in the foreground appearing to leap or roar, while the other is partially obscured behind foliage. The print is noted as being “By Courtesy of the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.”

The accompanying article discusses an exhibit titled “Master Prints of the 20th Century” at the Fogg Art Museum, which featured 166 prints, including this one. It provides background on Franz Marc’s artistic style, his focus on animals, and his association with the German expressionist group “Der Blaue Reiter.” The article explains Marc’s unique approach to capturing the “spiritual values” of animals and the “organic rhythm of all things,” and mentions the exhibit was curated by Jakob Rosenberg.

Clippings and Annotations:

Several smaller newspaper clippings and notes are pasted onto the main page:

1. Yellow Clipping: From the Bremerton Sun (Feb. 1, 1965), about Paul J. Sachs, a former banker and professor of fine arts at Harvard University, who died at age 86.
2. Blue Clipping: From The Ohio News Bureau Company and Dayton Daily News with handwritten notes including dates like “FEB 19 1965” and circulation figures, marked with “P.O.B.” and “EX-PROFESSOR DIES.”
3. White Clipping: From “AMERICAN Press Clipping Service, In,” dated Feb. 19, 1965, with a note “From: FREE PRESS Chattanooga, Tenn.” It reports Paul J. Sachs’s death.
4. Another White Clipping: Headlined “Paul J. Sachs Dies; Harvard Professor,” also dated Feb. 19, 1965, giving details of his career and death.

These clippings collectively suggest the page’s compiler was tracking news about Paul J. Sachs, likely because of his role at Harvard and his connection to the art world, possibly as a curator or donor (the Fogg Museum piece is linked to his legacy), which contextualizes why his obituary was saved alongside an article about an art exhibit at his institution.

The newspaper page itself shows signs of aging, with yellowed paper and some creases. The clippings are affixed with tape or glue, and some are marked with handwritten notes and dates, indicating they were filed systematically for research or personal records.

Overall, this image captures a moment of 20th-century art journalism and memorializes a key figure in American art education through preserved news clippings.
