Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a brown paper folder or scrapbook page, likely from an archival collection, featuring two newspaper clippings about a 1973 art exhibition.

The items are mounted on a single sheet of heavy, aged brown paper with two punched holes along the right edge, suggesting it was stored in a binder.

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Top Clipping (from the Cambridge Chronicle, September 20, 1973, Page Nine):

• Headline: ‘New Graphic Art’ at the Fogg
• Author: Ann Philips
• Content: This article reviews the exhibition “New American Graphic Art” at the Fogg Museum (now the Harvard Art Museums). It discusses the nature of “graphic art” in the 1970s, noting it often involves techniques like silkscreen, wash, ink, and photocopy, sometimes combined with traditional drawing. It highlights pieces that explore patterns, systems (like Steingrim Laursen’s use of the Pythagorean Theorem), and the use of color and texture (citing Lewitt, Grave, Picasso, and others). The article mentions that the exhibition, curated by Agnes Mongan, runs through October 11, 1973.

2. Bottom Clipping (from the Boston Globe, September 20, 1973):

• Headline: Margaret Fisher: an American original in her mid-70s
• Author: Robert Taylor
• Content: This is a review of a solo exhibition titled “Margaret Fisher: Drawings, Watercolors, Gouaches” at the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Cambridge (also part of Harvard), running through October 11, 1973. The review focuses on the artist Margaret Fisher, noting she is in her mid-70s, has been collecting and exhibiting for decades, and was a student of Wassily Kandinsky. It praises her work for its “wit, energy, discovery, control, and intelligence,” and her personal vision marked by “crisp line.” Taylor argues that despite her age and the “lack of dates” in the exhibition, Fisher is a significant “American original” whose work deserves greater recognition.

Overall Context:

The two articles, published on the same date (Sept. 20, 1973), document two concurrent exhibitions at Harvard’s museums. The top article provides a broader overview of a group show on modern graphic art, while the bottom one offers a focused, celebratory profile of Margaret Fisher’s solo show. The folder itself serves as a historical record, preserving contemporaneous press coverage of these events.

The physical state – aged newsprint on a simple folder – indicates this is a piece of archival material, likely belonging to the artist, a curator, or a collector documenting Fisher’s career and the museum’s programming.

The image appears to be a scanned copy of a document or an art-related剪报 (剪报 is a Chinese term meaning "scrapbook" or "clippings"). It contains two articles cut from newspapers, pasted onto what looks like a cardboard or brown paper backing.

1. Top Article: The title reads "New Graphic Art at the Fogg" by Ann Phillips. It discusses an exhibition of new American graphic art at the Fogg Museum, focusing on the techniques and materials used in the artworks. It mentions artists like Lewitt, Price, Francisco, and others, highlighting their use of various media and techniques, such as silkscreen, wash, ink, and photo-line combinations.

2. Bottom Article: This title reads "Margaret Fisher: an American original in her mid-70s" by Robert Taylor. The article is likely about an exhibit of Margaret Fisher's work, possibly at a museum.

This image shows a collection of newspaper clippings mounted on what appears to be a brown cardboard surface. There are three distinct pieces of text in different sections of the board.

At the top left is an article from what seems to be a section titled "GRAPHIC ARTS/PHOTOGRAPHY," dated October 10, 1973, with the heading 'New Graphic Art' at the Fogg. The text is small and might be challenging to read due to the size and resolution of the image, but it appears to be a review or commentary on an exhibition of graphic art.

Below this, occupying a larger portion of the image, there is a prominent newspaper article with a bold headline that reads "Margaret Fisher: an American original in her mid-70s." The article is from the "Boston Globe" and dated September 30, 1973. It seems to profile Margaret Fisher, identifying her as a noteworthy American individual in her mid-70s.

Overall, the image conveys a sense of historical documentation or someone's personal archive related to graphic arts and an individual named Margaret Fisher. There are staples and adhesive visible on the paper, suggesting that these clippings have been intentionally preserved on the mounting board.
