Garber also excelled at etching and taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for over forty years. Daniel Garber (1880-1958) was born in 1880 in Indiana and studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati in Ohio (1897) before moving to Philadelphia to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1899-1905). Garber met Mary Franklin, a fellow art student, in Philadelphia and they were married. After traveling through Europe, the couple returned to the United States in 1907 and settled in Cuttalossa, just downriver from Lumberville in Solebury Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Garber's style combined realism and fantasy, precise draftsmanship and decorative technique, emblazoning all in vibrant, shimmering colors. A landscape artist, Garber was best known for his paintings of Bucks County woods and quarries. To a greater extent than many of his New Hope colleagues, Garber also achieved recognition as a figure painter. A leading instructor at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for over forty years, Garber influenced younger generations of painters, as well. Garber died in 1958. Bibliography: James A.

  • Painting America Painting
    Painting America Peter Hurd (Roswell, NM, 1904–1984) Evening in the Sierras 1938–39 Egg tempera on gessoed panel NA diploma presentation, February 3, 1947 Hurd studied privately with N. C. Wyeth, the well-known American realist painter, father of Andrew and Henriette and grandfather of Jamie. As it happens, Hurd married Henriette, and the couple had three children together. Hurd had attended military school as a boy and enrolled at West Point but, having always loved art and painting, decided to leave halfway through to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. That decision was quite radical, especially for the early 1920s. This is the story of a person who had an inner desire to do something, followed his dream, and ended up not only living the rest of his life as an artist but also !nding his wife and family in the process. There is a “lived happily ever after” spirit to this decision, which is instructive as an example of following one’s passion and calling. —Glenn Goldberg, NA 3.1 For America: Paintings from the National Academy of Design New Mexico Museum of Art · October 24, 2020 – January 17, 2021 Painting America Robert Henri (Cincinnati, OH, 1865–1929 New York City) George Wesley Bellows 1911 Oil on canvas ANA diploma presentation, December 4, 1911 Henri completed this portrait of his friend and former student George Bellows the same year the two summered in Monhegan Island, !fteen miles off the coast of Maine. Bellows submitted the work as his Academy portrait, a gesture that perhaps signi!es the artists’ shared ideas about portraiture and representation.
