The central focus is an article titled:

“Tiger”: A Woodcut by the German Artist Franz Marc (1880-1916)

Below the title is a large, striking black-and-white reproduction of Franz Marc’s expressionist woodcut, which depicts a stylized tiger surrounded by dense, swirling jungle foliage, rendered in Marc’s characteristic dynamic and symbolic style.

Article Summary:
The article, written by Patricia Berry Wilson, is a tribute to Jakob Rosenberg, retired Curator of Prints at the Fogg Art Museum. It highlights an exhibit of 166 prints called “Master Prints of the 20th Century” at the Fogg Art Museum (Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.). The article specifically discusses Franz Marc as one of the most sensitive German Expressionists and a founder of the Der Blaue Reiter group. It describes his deep affinity for animals, his symbolic use of color, and how he sought to express the “spiritual values” and “organic rhythm of all things” through his depictions of animals like the tiger.

Pasted over the bottom left corner of the article are several smaller clippings and notes:
