Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open book or scrapbook, revealing two facing pages covered with a collage of newspaper and magazine clippings, primarily from the early 1970s.

The dominant feature is a large article on the left page with the headline:
“Klinger: graphic and surreal”

The article is by Edgar Driscoll Jr., Globe Staff, and dated “Globe 1-16-72” in handwritten ink at the top right. It discusses a major exhibition in the U.S. of the work of German artist Max Klinger, describing his art as a blend of Victorian sensibilities, surreal imagery, and themes of sex, love, death, and haunting dreams. The article mentions his sculptures and prints, his connections to the Munich Graphics Collection and the Leipzig-born painter, and his influence on later artists like DeChirico, Ensor, and Munch. It also references specific works like “A Glove” and “Dramas.”

Several smaller articles and notices are pasted on the pages:

• Top right corner (partially visible): A clipping with a logo reading “NUTS & BOLTS PRESENTS” and some text that seems unrelated to the main subject.
• Left page, bottom left: A notice for a “Preview for Friends of Fogg” dated “FEB 25 1972” from the Herald Traveler, Boston, Mass. It invites friends of the Fogg Art Museum to a preview of an exhibition of “Attic Vase Painting in New England Collections,” which is open to the public from March 1 through April 6.
• Right page, upper right: An article titled “As for the massive ‘Cobi XXV’…” which details the story of a sculpture by artist Smith. It recounts that Smith died in a car accident in 1965 at age 59, and that the sculpture was first proposed for the New City Hall Plaza in 1968. It notes that despite initial rejection, the city later paid $150,000 for it. The article also mentions that Smith was a long-term loan from Mrs. Culver Crowell, a friend of the artist. The text is slightly cut off on the right.
• Right page, lower center: A column of text continues the discussion of Smith’s work, mentioning that the imagery is rich and varied, reminiscent of the artist’s training (Art Students’ League, NYC), and that his sculptures date from the 1950s and 1960s.
• Left page, center right: A small, rectangular snippet of text, likely from the Klinger article, discussing his paintings and graphic work.

The pages themselves are aged, with a yellowish-brown tone and visible signs of wear, binding holes at the top, and some creases. The clippings are pasted with irregular edges, creating a layered, research-oriented or personal scrapbook aesthetic. The handwritten date “Globe 1-16-72” and the library or archivist stamp “M-230,000 $-300,000” on the Herald Traveler clipping suggest these are archival materials. The primary focus is clearly on Max Klinger, with secondary clippings on other art events and artists from the same period.
