This image displays a two-page clipping from a newspaper, mounted on a piece of brown paper with two punched holes on the right margin, suggesting it was saved in a binder or file.
The clipping is from The Boston Phoenix, specifically Section Three, Page Thirteen, dated November 8, 1973.
This section, labeled "The Calendar" with a date stamp of "11/8/73 p.12", features:
An Art Announcement: A black-and-white reproduction of a detail from the watercolor “In the Park” by the German artist Ernst Matthes (1878-1918). The caption notes that Matthes was influenced by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and that his paintings, drawings, and caricatures will be on exhibit at the Busch-Reisinger Museum from November 2 to December 15.
A Letter from WCVB-TV: A typed letter on white paper is pasted next to the art notice. It is from Joseph A. Ryan, Director of Community Services at WCVB-TV, 5 TV Place, Needham 02192. The letter confirms that an event was announced on WCVB’s morning/mid-day news broadcast on 11/7 (November 7th, 1973) and expresses hope that the event was a success. It concludes with “Sincerely, Joseph A. Ryan.”
This is the main feature of the clipping, a column titled “Ins and Outs” from The Boston Phoenix.
It contains several short articles:
Wendy Waldman: A black-and-white headshot of Wendy Waldman is featured, with a small caption identifying a photo as “‘Tucker’s Child’ by MacNeil at the Fogg”. The accompanying text praises her recent performance at Pleasant Paglim, noting her confident and derivative style (comparing her to Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell) and her collaboration with veteran musicians Trevor Veitch and Andy Kulberg. It mentions the audience responded to her “canned laughter,” which is likely a humorous mischaracterization of her banter or stage persona.
Newly Recreated Exhibit: This article reviews the “Newly Recreated” photographic exhibit at the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard (Gallery XV, through Dec. 2). It discusses how contemporary photographers are reviving early printing techniques (like gum printing and the carbon process) to juxtapose with historic works from pioneers like Steichen and Talbot, as well as moderns like MacNeil and Xenos.
Fag Rag Six & “Seven Meditations”: This piece discusses the new issue of the gay liberation publication Fag Rag Six, which features “shocking pink” and the first printing of a new play by The Living Theatre titled “Seven Meditations on Political Sado-Masochism”. The article explains that the play is meant to be experienced (heard, not read) and is based on political statements from the North African minstrel-musician-sorcerers, with themes on “the slavery which is implicit in sado-masochistic politics.”
Panopticon Gallery & Iris Kirschenbaum: This article reviews a photography show at the Panopticon Gallery (187 Bay State Road) featuring the work of Iris Kirschenbaum. It highlights her “straight” photography without pretentiousness, noting her travelogue and documentary-style images from places like Antarctica and Nova Scotia. The piece praises her clarity, purpose, and visual appeal.
Sam Rivers: A small, action shot shows Sam Rivers playing the saxophone on stage. The caption announces he will appear at the Jazz Festival concert Friday night at Symphony Hall.
Summary:
This clipping is a vibrant slice of Boston’s cultural scene from November 1973. It captures the city’s engagement with contemporary music (Wendy Waldman, Sam Rivers), experimental theater and politics (Fag Rag, The Living Theatre), modern art (Ernst Matthes), and photography (the “Newly Recreated” show, Iris Kirschenbaum). The inclusion of the WCVB-TV letter suggests the clipping was saved by someone involved in an event that received media coverage, perhaps for archival or personal record-keeping. The overall tone is journalistic and reflects the eclectic, progressive, and art-focused spirit of the era.
