Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a collection of newspaper clippings mounted on aged, beige paper, likely from a scrapbook or archive. The clippings primarily date from July and September 1966 and originate from several newspapers, as indicated by the agency labels and mastheads.

The most prominent clipping, positioned on the right, is in Spanish from “DIARIO DEL NORTE, SAN PEDRO SULA, HONDURAS,” dated July 4, 1966. Its headline reads:
“CURSO DE ARTE DICTARA PRONTO PROFESOR ACADEMICO DE EE.UU.”
(An Art Course Will Soon Be Taught by a U.S. Academic Professor).

Below this headline is a photo captioned “Mr. JOHN MUENCH,” followed by a paragraph describing his academic credentials and travels. It mentions he studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the National Academy of Design, and other institutions, and has held positions in schools in the United States. He is depicted as a Professor in various academies of the United States, currently visiting Honduras. The article notes that he “realizó estudios superiores de arte en Boston, Nueva York y en la Academia Julién de París,” emphasizing his international art education.

Beneath this, there is a smaller clipping featuring a black-and-white photograph of an abstract sculpture, possibly an outdoor installation, with several rectangular panels arranged geometrically around a central point, with bare trees in the background. The caption reads:
“The posthumous exhibition of the works of David Smith, 1906-1965, will open Wednesday, September 28 at the Fogg Art Museum and continue through November 15.”
This refers to the renowned American sculptor David Smith, whose legacy was being honored at Harvard University’s Fogg Art Museum.

On the left side of the page is another major clipping from the “Cape Cod Standard Times,” dated July 22, 1966, titled:
“Edna Hibel to Display Work at North Truro.”
This article profiles Edna Hibel, a prominent Boston artist, who is to exhibit her work at the North Truro Gallery. The text details her background, training, accolades — including exhibitions at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Chicago Art Institute, and the Metropolitan Museum — and her role in promoting American and Mexican art. It also notes her election as a member of the Royal Society of Arts, London, England.

Below that, a smaller article from the “Armenian Mirror-Spectator, Watertown, Mass.,” dated September 24, 1966, announces:
“Der Harootian to Speak for Boston NAASR Oct. 7.”
This refers to Dr. Alan Der Hargopian and others associated with the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) giving a lecture at the Fogg Art Museum in Boston.

Several small rectangular labels with typewritten text from the “New England Newsclip Agency, Inc.” are pasted across the page, indicating the source, date, and circulation figures for each clipping.

The physical condition of the page — yellowed paper, creases, and taped edges — suggests it is a mid-20th century archival document, preserving historical media coverage of cultural, artistic, and academic events in the United States and beyond. The mix of languages (English and Spanish), and geographic scope (Boston, Cape Cod, Honduras, Paris, New York) reflects an international network of arts and academia during that period.

In summary, this is a curated collection of newspaper articles documenting exhibitions, academic visits, and public lectures by notable figures in the art world — chiefly Edna Hibel, John Muench, and David Smith — as well as Armenian academic events, all from mid-1966.
