The page is a collection of materials related to art exhibitions and catalogs, particularly those associated with Harvard University and the Fogg Art Museum. The items are arranged on a brown background, likely a page from a scrapbook or a folder.
This image shows a scrapbook page dedicated to American art, featuring clippings from two different publications.
At the top, there is a photocopy or clipping from the Cambridge Magazine, June/1972. It displays a black-and-white reproduction of a drawing titled “PROFILE HEAD OF A YOUNG MAN”, which is attributed to the Italian artist Michelangelo Buonarroti and dated to the 14th century. The clipping notes that this artwork was on display at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University.
Below this, there is a newspaper clipping from the Bath-Brunswick (Maine) Times-Record, dated 6/1/72. The article, titled “Catalogue’s almost as good as the show”, is written by Ernest Haskell Jr. It reviews a major exhibition and accompanying catalogue titled “American Art at Harvard”, which featured 176 examples of original American art from the Fogg Museum’s collection.
The article discusses the catalog’s creation by five Harvard graduate students under the direction of Professor Benjamin Rowland Jr., and highlights a dedication to Professor Rowland, who was personally responsible for the study of visual arts at Harvard. It also praises the catalogue’s quality and mentions that Dr. Frank Jewett Mather Jr., a former director of Princeton’s art museum and a close friend of the author, would have admired the effort.
Additionally, the article references a specific work included in the catalogue: “Wild Turkey Cock and Hen and Nine Chicks,” an oil on canvas painting by John James Audubon.
The bottom portion of the page includes a torn, black-and-white reproduction of Audubon’s painting, showing the turkeys with the caption “‘Wild Turkey Cock and Hen and Nine Chicks,’ oil on canvas by John James Audubon.”
In summary, this scrapbook page juxtaposes an Italian Renaissance drawing (Michelangelo) with a focus on a Harvard exhibition of American art (featuring Audubon and a student-curated catalogue), suggesting the collector’s interest in both European masterworks and American art history as presented in scholarly publications and museum displays.
The image is a photograph of an open book with several pages visible. The book appears to be a collection of magazine articles and artwork, likely from the early 1970s based on the date mentioned on one of the pages. The pages are arranged in a way that suggests they are part of a scrapbook or a personal collection.
On the left side of the image, there is a page with a pencil drawing of a man's head, which is labeled as "PROFILE HEAD OF A YOUNG MAN" and attributed to "Italian, 15th century." Below this drawing, there is a small piece of paper with text that reads "Cambridge Magazine, June/1972."
To the right of the drawing, there is a page with a newspaper article titled "The art palette" and a subheading "Catalogue's almost as good as the show." The article appears to be discussing an art exhibition and its accompanying catalog. The text is dense and includes names of artists and art institutions, such as the Fogg Art Museum and Harvard University.
At the bottom of the image, there is another page with a drawing of a wild turkey and nine chicks, labeled "Wild Turkey Cock and Hen, Nine Chicks," and attributed to "John James Audubon." This drawing is likely from one of Audubon's famous bird illustrations.
The book itself seems to be made of heavy paper, possibly cardboard, and has a homemade feel to it, suggesting that it was assembled by an individual rather than being a commercially published book. The pages are not bound in a traditional way, and some of them are loose, indicating that they may have been added or removed over time.
Overall, the image represents a personal collection of art and articles, likely belonging to someone with an interest in art history and natural history, given the inclusion of both the Italian Renaissance drawing and the Audubon bird illustration.
A magazine page is open to a spread featuring an article and an illustration. The article is titled "Catalogue's almost as good as the show" and it discusses a splendid art catalogue from Harvard University. The illustration is a reproduction of "View of Mother's Yard" by Aaron Willard, a pen and ink drawing from around 1821. The article mentions that the catalogue is produced by the work of five graduate students and is dedicated to Professor Benjamin Rowland.
