Sachs exhibition
One man’s art scope

Written by Jane H. Kay from Cambridge, Mass., the article reviews the Paul J. Sachs Memorial Exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum.

The article discusses how the exhibition is a tribute to the taste and collecting philosophy of Paul J. Sachs (often referred to as “PJS”), who was a Harvard professor and co-founder of the museum’s print department. The reviewer highlights that the show features 75 drawings and 25 objects selected from Sachs’ personal collection of over 2,000 items. The focus is on the quality and intimacy of Sachs’ selections — works that reveal his personal aesthetic and scholarly interests, ranging from 12th-century medieval panels to 19th-century French Romantics.

A notable quote from Agnes Mongan (then curator at the Fogg) describes Sachs’ collecting as “the ripple of which created to distant places.”

The article also mentions specific works, including:

• Veronese’s The Rest on the Flight into Europe
• Poussin’s The Holy Family
• An anonymous 17th-century drawing of “A Triumphant General Crowned by a Flying Figure”
• Works by Rubens, Rembrandt, Goya, Delacroix, and Millet.

On the right side of the article is a large, black-and-white reproduction of a portrait titled:

‘Portrait of Fonte’

Beneath the image, a caption identifies it as:

Charcoal with blue, black, and yellow wash by Picasso, one of 75 drawings included in the current Sachs exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge.

The portrait depicts a young man (Fonte) in a contemplative pose, looking off to the left, rendered with expressive lines and shading. Picasso’s signature appears faintly in the lower right of the image.

Overall, the document captures a critical review of a major art exhibition honoring a distinguished collector and art educator, offering insight into mid-20th century American museum culture and the legacy of Paul Sachs’ personal taste in art.
