Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a single sheet of aged, beige-colored paper, likely from a press kit or archival folder, with two small, circular punch holes visible along its left edge. Affixed to this sheet are two newspaper clippings, arranged asymmetrically.

The clippings are from “THE REAL PAPER”, dated February 6, 1974, and are from Page Twenty-Seven.

The main, larger clipping is a column titled “art around town (page 12)”.

It contains two distinct articles:

1. The first article discusses an exhibition at the Busch-Reisinger Museum (part of the Museum of Modern Art) featuring three Swiss painters from the turn of the 20th century: Cuno Amiet, Giovanni Giacometti, and Augusto Giacometti. It notes they are virtually unknown in the U.S. but considered masters in Switzerland, and that their work shows strong parallels to more famous artists like Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Monet. The article mentions the curator, Mrs. Backlin-Landman, and the exhibition’s focus on the Post-Impressionist concern with expressive color and light.

2. The second, smaller article describes an exhibition at The Fogg Museum, in cooperation with Asia House Gallery, focusing on the arts of Isfahan, Persia, from the 17th century. It highlights the display of beautiful examples of refined, luxurious art, including Oriental carpets, silk and gold-thread prayer rugs, and other objects, many from The Fogg’s own collection. The exhibit runs through February 24.

The newspaper clippings are slightly torn and appear to have been cut and rearranged by hand, with one article pasted partially over the other. The overall image has a documentary, archival feel, capturing a moment from the early 1970s art scene in Boston.
