Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a vintage, yellowed file folder or scrapbook page, likely from 1976, containing press clippings and photographs related to two separate art exhibitions at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum.

The page is organized with two main newspaper clippings, each accompanied by a printed photograph.

Top Section: Indian Art Exhibition

• Headline: “INDIAN ART COLLECTION SLATED FOR EXHIBITION AT FOGG MUSEUM”
• Date: The clipping is marked by hand with “MEDICAL AREA SUN 22 NEWS 1976” and “GAZETTE Jan 16, 1976.” It details an exhibition of the George S. Bickford Collection of Indian and Southeast Asian art.
• Content: The article describes the breadth of the collection, spanning from the third millennium B.C. to the present, and highlights key pieces including Indus Valley seals, Buddhist sculptures from Bharut and Kashmir, metal statuettes of deities like Devi and Shiva, and Chola Period bronzes. It mentions paintings from the 16th to 19th centuries, including Mughal, Rajput, and Kangra styles.
• Accompanying Photo: A black-and-white photograph shows a dark, intense portrait painting. The caption identifies it as “Portrait de R. Duchamp-Villon (the artist’s brother; oil on wood panel; 1911)—from the Jacques Villon retrospective, at the Fogg tomorrow through February 29. (Photo: Barry Donahue).” This photo is somewhat mislabeled for this section, as it belongs to the bottom section.

Bottom Section: Jacques Villon Retrospective

• Photograph: A sketch or charcoal drawing titled “Les Haleurs (The Haulers; oil on canvas; 1908).” It depicts several figures straining to pull a heavy load, rendered in a dynamic, cubist-inspired style.
• Caption: The text describes “The Fogg tomorrow unveil[ing] 165 paintings, drawings, and prints by Jacques Villon in a retrospective of the influential cubist.” It notes the exhibition was organized by former Fogg Director Daniel Robbins and his students and would run through February 29. The caption explicitly identifies the artwork as “Les Haleurs (The Haulers; oil on canvas; 1908). (Photo: Barry Donahue).”
• Handwritten Note: The date “GAZETTE Jan 16, 1976” is written in the upper right corner of this section.

Overall, the page serves as a historical artifact, preserving press coverage of two significant exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum in early 1976: a major survey of Indian and Southeast Asian art, and a retrospective of the Cubist artist Jacques Villon. The handwritten annotations indicate this was likely a personal or institutional clipping file.

This image appears to be a page from a scrapbook or a collection of clippings related to art exhibitions. The page is divided into three sections, each containing a different item:

1. Top Left: A printed article titled "Indian Art Collection Slated for Exhibition at Fogg Museum," dated January 22, 1976.
