Top Article: “Modern is dead”
Source: Boston Sunday Globe, December 28, 1980
Author: Robert Taylor, Globe Staff
This article discusses the perceived end of the Modernism movement in visual arts. It argues that 1980 marked a symbolic end, comparing it to 1907 (the year of Picasso’s “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon,” seen as the beginning of Modernism). The article notes that Picasso’s 1980 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art signified a “closing of a chapter,” and that Modernism — once radical — has now become “history.”
Beside the article is a black-and-white reproduction of Picasso’s painting “The Pipes of Pan,” described as “an oil on canvas done in the summer of 1923.” The image shows two shirtless, classical-looking male figures, one seated playing pipes, the other standing beside. The text beneath the image provides context about Picasso’s later style and his transition away from Cubism into more classical forms.
Bottom Article: “James Stirling Gets Pritzker Architecture Award”
Source: New York Times, April 16, 1981
Author: Paul Goldberger
This article announces that British architect James Stirling (age 55) was awarded the 1981 Pritzker Architecture Prize — a $100,000 lifetime achievement award — making him the third recipient after Philip Johnson and Luis Barragán. The article notes his international reputation and highlights some of his major works, including the History Faculty Building at Cambridge University and the Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart. It also mentions he was then working on a chemistry building at Columbia University and an addition to the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Overall Context:
The juxtaposition suggests a deliberate thematic curation — perhaps reflecting on major cultural shifts in the arts during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The “death of Modernism” and the honoring of an architect associated with postmodernism (Stirling) both signal a transition from Modernist ideals to new artistic and architectural paradigms. The bound format and date labels indicate this is part of a curated historical record or personal collection.
Note: A hand-drawn mark — “75” — appears inside the “ART. Page 56” reference in the first article, possibly indicating a page number or archival tag.
