Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a piece of archival material: a single, light-brown manila folder with two punched holes along its left edge, suggesting it was stored in a binder. The folder serves as a backing for two newspaper clippings from the Boston Sunday Globe, dated May 15, 1977.

The clippings are arranged side-by-side on the folder.

Left Clipping (Page A10):

• Headline: “‘Women’s Eyes’ a stimulating exhibit”
• Section: REVIEW / ART
• Byline: By Robert Taylor, Globe Staff
• Content: The article reviews an exhibition titled “From Women’s Eyes” at the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University. It discusses the featured artists, including Gregory Gillespie and Lynton Wells, and explores themes of representation and illusion in their work, particularly Gillespie's “Still Life Studio.” It also mentions the curatorial choices and the role of curator Janice Biala.
• Accompanying Image: A black-and-white photograph, likely of the exhibit or one of the artworks.

Right Clipping (Continued from page 5):

• Headline: “Technique”
• Content: This article continues a discussion about technique in art, specifically focusing on watercolor. It criticizes the conservative view that art must adhere to technical mastery and argues for appreciating art based on its expressive potential. It references the Fogg Museum’s anniversary exhibition “Wash and Gouache” and lists artists like Blake, Turner, and Constable as masters of the medium.
• Handwritten Annotations:
  • In the top right corner of this clipping: “MAY 15 1977” (though the article is dated May 15, 1977, this appears to be a later handwritten note).
  • A pencil-drawn arrow points down from the “Technique” headline.
  • Along the right edge of the clipping, written vertically in pencil: “The Boston Phoenix, May 15, 1977” — this is likely an error, as the clipping is clearly from the Boston Sunday Globe, a different publication.
  • Below the main text, a small pencil notation reads: “#”

Overall Impression:

The folder appears to be part of a personal or professional archive, possibly belonging to an art historian, critic, or collector. The handwritten annotations, particularly the misidentification of the newspaper as “Boston Phoenix,” suggest the material was organized or reviewed by someone after its publication. The subject matter — a review of a feminist art exhibition and a technical analysis of watercolor — indicates an interest in contemporary art discourse from the mid-1970s. The physical condition and arrangement reflect its use as a preserved research or reference item.

This image appears to be a scanned copy of two newspaper articles, both from the Boston Phoenix, dated June 5, 1977 (items on the right) and May 15, 1977 (items on the left). Here's a breakdown of the contents:

1. Left Article:
