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:

   • Headline: "Women's Eyes: a stimulating exhibit"
   • Article Content: This article discusses an art exhibition titled "Women's Eyes" at the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University. The exhibition featured paintings, sculptures, and photographs by women artists.
   • Additional Details:
     • The exhibition was curated by four young professionals and included works by artists such as Bruce Boice and Jan Groover.
     • The article mentions the inclusion of a critical essay by Bonny Saunier, an assistant to the museum's director.
     • There is a note at the bottom indicating that the museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 1-5 PM.

2. Right Article:

   • Headline: "Technique"
   • Article Content: This article delves into the concept of art technique, particularly in the context of watercolor paintings. It discusses the evolution of watercolor techniques and their significance in art history.
   • Additional Details:

Both articles seem to be part of a broader discussion about art, particularly focusing on women artists and the technical aspects of painting in the context of historical and contemporary art. The articles are cut and pasted onto the same page, indicating they may have been saved or compiled for reference.

This image shows a newspaper clipping from the "Boston Sunday Globe," dated May 15, 1977, placed on a light brown folder or backing. The clipping is from the "REVIEW / ART" section and features an article titled "'Women's Eyes': a stimulating exhibit." The article discusses an exhibition called "From Women's Eyes," which includes paintings, sculpture, and photographs at the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, running through June 12.

To the right of the clipping, there is another piece of text titled "Technique," which discusses the appreciation of art in technical terms and mentions an exhibition at Harvard University's Fogg Museum. This text is from "The Boston Phoenix," dated Monday, June 5, 1977. The folder on which the clipping is placed has two holes punched in the left margin, likely for filing purposes.

A newspaper clipping is attached to a brown cardboard sheet with a hole punch on the left side. The clipping is divided into two parts. The left side is an article titled "Women's Eyes" and a stimulating exhibit. The right side is titled "Technique." The newspaper clipping is attached to the cardboard with a staple on the top right corner.

The image shows a clipping from a newspaper, specifically the Boston Sunday Globe, dated May 15, 1977. The clipping features an article review titled "Women's Eyes" a stimulating exhibit" and includes an image of a mixed media artwork by Gregory Gillespie titled "Still Life: Studio." The review discusses the themes of feminism and the role of women artists in the context of the 1970s art scene. The clipping is part of a larger document, possibly a scrapbook or archive, as indicated by the brown folder and the presence of other clippings.

The image shows a page from a newspaper or magazine, specifically the Boston Sunday Globe, dated May 13, 1977. The page features two distinct sections:

Left Side:

• Headline: "Women's Eyes' a stimulating exhibit"
• Content: This section is a review or article discussing an art exhibition titled "Women's Eyes."
  • The article highlights the exhibition's focus on women's issues in art, mentioning artists such as Rose Taylor, Jan Groover, and Gregory Gillespie.
  • It describes the exhibition as a stimulating new public art display, curated by Susan Ginsburg, a doctoral candidate at the Graduate Center, CUNY.
  • The exhibition is noted for showcasing works by female artists, emphasizing themes of feminism, representation, and the exploration of female identity in art.

  • The text begins with the phrase "Continued from page 5" and discusses the concept of technique in art, emphasizing that technique is an essential aspect of contemporary art.
  • It critiques a conservative perspective on technique, suggesting that it is often judged by traditional standards rather than by the artist's own creative vision.
  • The article references the Fogg Museum and its exhibitions, mentioning artists such as Marjorie B. Cohn and Jozef Israëls.
  • There is a discussion of the evolution of watercolor techniques, citing historical artists like John Singer Sargent and John Singer Sargent, and exploring how modern artists have adapted these techniques.

Additional Details:

• The page includes a stamp or label in the top-right corner that reads "The Boston Sunday Globe, May 13, 1977."
• There is a handwritten note or annotation in the top-right corner of the page, which appears to be a personal note or reference, though its content is not entirely clear.
• The layout is typical of a newspaper or magazine, with columns of text and accompanying images or photographs.

Overall Context:

The page combines a review of a contemporary art exhibition focused on women's issues in art with an article on art techniques, likely aimed at art enthusiasts, critics, or students. The juxtaposition of these two topics suggests a broader exploration of art's role in society and its technical and conceptual dimensions.

The image shows a scrapbook or archival page with two newspaper clippings attached. The clippings are from art reviews or critiques.

The left clipping, titled "'Women's Eyes' a stimulating exhibit," is from the Boston Sunday Globe dated May 15, 1977. It includes a monochrome photograph of a mixed media work called "Still Life Studio" by Gregory Gillespie and discusses an exhibition focused on women's eyes in art. The text describes the exhibition's concept, participating artists, and some of the themes explored in the artwork. The article is written by Robert Taylor (Globe Staff).

The right clipping is titled "Technique" and appears to be a continuation from a previous page, as indicated by "Continued from page 5." This article discusses contemporary art techniques, including the importance of seeing and appreciating art beyond technical terms and how certain museum exhibitions relate to this theme. There is a handwritten note alongside this clipping that reads "THE BOSTON PHOENIX MONDAY JUNE 5, 1978."

The page has three punch holes on the left side, indicating it was likely stored in a binder or folder. The overall tone is archival, preserving historical art reviews.

This is an image of a scrapbook page containing clippings from a newspaper article. The page includes two columns of text and an accompanying black-and-white image of artwork. The clipping is from the Boston Sunday Globe dated May 15, 1977, and the headline reads: "'Women's Eyes' a stimulating exhibit."

The article seems to discuss an art exhibit featuring works by women and mentions the exploration of specific themes and perspectives. The right column, labeled "Technique," continues from another page and discusses artistic methods and ideas. There is handwritten text in the margin dated June 5, 1977, likely related to the content. The scrapbook page has a hole-punched on the left side, suggesting it is stored in a binder. The overall tone is of documenting and archiving art-related material.

This image shows a collection of two newspaper clippings mounted on a board with a tan border.

The left clipping has a headline which reads "Women’s Eyes," followed by the subtitle "a stimulating exhibit" and the mention "FROM WOMEN’S EYES PUBLISHER". It also features a black and white photograph related to the event or exhibit described. The article below provides details about the exhibit, but the text is too small to read in full detail. This section appears to be from the "ROSTON SUNDAY GLOBE", dated "May 8, 1977." There is a note written in pen in the lower section of the clipping which cannot be completely deciphered due to the resolution.

The right-hand clipping contains a continuation of an article from another page, as indicated by the tagline "Continuing from page 5" at the top. This article includes a column of text and is headed by the word "Technique." There is a hand-drawn symbol (perhaps a checkmark) and a handwritten annotation along the right edge which mentions "Jones Street." This piece of the article discusses art and technique but again, the specific content of the text cannot be clearly read from this image.

Both clippings feature aged paper, typical of newspaper print, and the left clipping has a visible fold in the center. The board to which they are attached has three holes punched on the left side, suggesting it is part of a collection or a binder. This mounting appears to serve the purpose of archiving or presenting the articles for review or study.
