Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a single page from a publication, mounted on a light brown, possibly recycled paper or folder backing with three punched holes on the right edge, suggesting it was stored in a binder or archival system.

The page itself is from “THE HARVARD MEDICAL AREA NEWSLETTER /FOCUS”, dated December 1973, page 75. It features a prominent article titled “Exhibition of Prints and Drawings at the Fogg.”

Here is a detailed breakdown:

1. Main Article: “Exhibition of Prints and Drawings at the Fogg”

This article announces the first monographic exhibition of prints and drawings by the Baroque painter Jusepe de Ribera (1591–1652), held at the Fogg Art Museum from December 7, 1973, to January 13, 1974.

Key points from the article:

• The exhibition was organized by Professor Jonathan Brown, Acting Director of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University.
• It includes 200 pages of catalogue, and highlights that Ribera’s work was highly influential and imitated, though his reputation had been obscured over time.
• The museum is free to the public Monday–Saturday (9–5), Sunday (2–5), with closures on Dec. 24, 25, 26, 31, Jan. 1, and 2.

2. Embedded Illustrations & Captions

Below the main article, there are two black-and-white photographic prints with captions:

• Above: Edward Weston’s “Ballerina Nude, Glendale” (1927) — a classic, sensitive, and sensuous photographic study of a female nude, seated or crouching, with graceful lines and soft tonal contrasts.
• Below: George Tice’s “Aquatic Plants #1, New Jersey” (1967) — a close-up, textured photograph of floating lily pads and aquatic vegetation on water, emphasizing natural patterns.

These illustrations appear as part of a separate article or section titled “Newly Re-Created,” which discusses the revival of old photographic processes like daguerreotypes, calotypes, collodion, and platinum prints, and the tension between photography as documentation vs. fine art. The article mentions contemporary photographers like Cartier-Bresson, Capa, Winogrand, and Callahan, and explores how the photograph’s context — the moment, the event, or the viewer’s interaction — becomes integral to its meaning.

3. Additional Text

There is also a brief, unrelated article or column on the right side, titled something like “The world, and the world snickers…”, discussing classroom technics and student-teacher dynamics humorously.

It concludes with a note identifying Josh Rubins as a contributing editor, a third-year student at Harvard Law School.

4. Handwritten Annotation

Above the photograph of the Weston nude, someone has written in pencil:

HARVARD MAGAZINE Dec '73

This suggests the page was likely clipped from or associated with Harvard Magazine, although the masthead clearly reads “THE HARVARD MEDICAL AREA NEWSLETTER /FOCUS.”

Overall Context & Significance:

• The image is a historical document, capturing art world developments in 1973.
• It reveals institutional efforts to revive appreciation for early Baroque masters (Ribera) and contemporary photographic art (Weston, Tice).
• The inclusion of a Harvard Medical Area newsletter discussing fine art and photography reflects the interdisciplinary culture at Harvard.
• The clipping format and handwritten note indicate this was assembled as a personal or institutional archive.

In summary, this is an archival clipping from December 1973 featuring an announcement for a major Ribera exhibition at the Fogg Museum, accompanied by discussion of photographic art and vintage processes, illustrated with iconic works by Edward Weston and George Tice — all preserved within a scholarly context at Harvard.
