  Kruse, Alexander Z. Notebook [1970]: small diary style notebook; short reminders about activities on specific days, references to Mary Baker Eddy and the Christian Science Monitor; the first page says, "This side contains things which recently I decided might refresh my memory in case I happen to forget;" the second half of the notebook starts from the last page and upside down—"this side contains my own art commentary…"; (one of the comments in this second section was, "…Bellows became a swiftly brush-stroking, flashy, prize-winning, and prolific sketchy superficial painter…")

  The Alexander Z. Kruse papers contain documents relating to Kruse's career as an artist, art critic, and author. The time frame covered is 1890 to 1975 with the bulk of the material originating from the 1930s to 1960s. The material is arranged by functional series and includes: literary manuscripts and notebooks; correspondence; photographic materials--photographs and slides; ephemera--clippings, catalogs, and biographical material; and books. The majority of the collection is in its original format with a few being photocopies. The photographic materials are in good condition. However, much of the ephemera (especially the newspaper clippings) is extremely fragile. Most of the clippings are from Kruse's columns with the Brooklyn Eagle and the New York Post.
