Karl and Marion Zerbe diary, 1940
Creator: Karl Zerbe
DECEMBER 31, 1940
German-born expressionist Karl Zerbe and his wife, Marion, often hosted New Year's Eve parties for their circle of friends in the Boston art scene. His diary entries on January 1 provide a colorful record of these events. The handmade menus and snapshots of decorated rooms suggest the gaiety of the night's festivities, along with Zerbe's reflections on his hangover. |
