Francis Speight Morris' Blackburn BUILDING Moyfond T; McAyoy, Superintendent 3 RE PO R T " '0 F" T H E OFFICERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS In the Annual Report of last year, we stressed our financial ' problems and ' pOinted ' out the recurrent periods in our history when difficulties of this nature wer~ paramount iri'importance. This year, however, we are pleased to~eport certain specific ' instances of good fortune. The, s'ingle ' in~st jmportal1t boon to our finanCial problems was the receipt of a , ~25,OOO.00 appropriation from the City of Philadelphia. We are hopeful ' fhatwe may expect the continuance of this grant. In recognition of it, the Academy now accords ten sc;:holarships per year for our entire course to the best students of the City's pu~lic and parochial schools who wish to avail themselves of the opp~rtunity to study in our schools. The second great encouragement came with the improved enrollment in our schools when we opened our 'Classes in September. Specific data is listed in the School report, but here it shall suffice to say that the incoming ~Iass was more than double the size of that of the Fall of 1952. Although his appointment came too late in the year to influ~nce this improvement in registration, we report the engagement of Raymond T~ Entenmann as the new Curator of our schools; Mr. Entenmann took up his active duties on June 1, 1953 and the Management 'is extremely pleased with his work, which coincides with a , great improvement in the work of and morale in the school. As originally reported last year, the Academy again received the generou,s gift of $10,000.00 from Mrs. Harrison S. Morris, making possible the, continuation of our great Annual Exhibitions of Contemporary American Oil Painting and Sculpture. These exhibitions' are now held as memorials to her late husband, Harrison S. Morris, who was Managing Director of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from 1892 to 1905. The Catherwood Foundation again assisted in the finanCing of our 51 st Annual Exhibition ' of Water Colors, " Prints and Drawings, and except for this generous help toat feature could not have been continued . ....;. : Mrs. lucie Washington Mitcheson, a former stockholder, ,of the Academy who died in May; '1952; andhvo former life , members~ Miss Helen E. Shand and Miss Matilda Maulsby, who died in 'June and August, 1953, 4 respectively, each bequeathed' $1000.00; ;to : the Academy. The three legacies have now . been . tumed over -Jo the instituti~n" ~ich is exceed­ ingly grateful to ' receive these gifts fr~mloyal friends. Mrs: Frances Weeks lux has . giv~n the Academy $1000.00, the ~ income from which is to be used as a school prize or p~izes i~ memory of he~ late uncle, the artist, Mr. John R. Conner. This is recorded here with the gratitude ' of the Management. In a building the age of ours; .there is constant need for 'extensive repair and renovation. The most crying present need is for new .entrance. doors and an adequate vestibule. The present doors are obsolete and inade­ quate and need to be replaced with larger; air-tight ones with a more inviting motif. This change will involve construction .and heating adjust­ .ments, which will be very costly, but it is. hoped that the project -may be accomplished ' before we stage our 150th anniversary celebration early .in 195"5. Two , members of 9ur B.oard have already made gener-ous con­ tributions to this end, and these are among the items recorded in '1953. We continue to be gratefuUo the Women's. Committee for their gracious help and encouragement, and also to 9ur loyal . staff who, . though not many in numbers, support the Director and President in all of our activities. We should like particularly to. thank, and also ·to congratulate, the FelloVfship for the exemplC;JrY helpwhichi.t is giving to ' the Academy, especially through support of the special lecture series,. ·andthe.

Ives “All passes; art alone enduring stays to us; I lie bust outlasts the throne^ the coin, Tiberius.” A I an early day after the opening of the Exposition, it became evident that there was a large class of visitors made up of students, teachers and others, who desired a more extensive and intimate knowledge of individual works than could be gained from a cursory view, guided by a conventional catalogue. 11 undreds of letters from persons especially interested in acquiring intimate knowledge of the leading char¬ acteristics of the various schools of expression repre¬ sented have been received; indeed, for two months be¬ fore the opening of the department, every mail carried replies to such letters, giving outlines of study, courses of reading, and advice to intending visitors.

    THE MILCH GALLERIES YORK THE MILCH GALLERIES IMPORTANT WORKS IN PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE BY LEADING AMERICAN ARTISTS 108 WEST 57TH STREET NEW YORK CITY Edition limited to One Thousand copies This copy is No 1 his Booklet is the second of a series we have published which deal only with a selected few of the many prominent American artists whose work is always on view in our Galleries. MILCH BUILDING I08 WEST 57TH STREET FOREWORD This little booklet, similar in character to the one we pub­ lished last year, deals with another group of painters and sculp­ tors, the excellence of whose work has placed them m the front rank of contemporary American art. They represent differen tendencies, every one of them accentuating some particular point of view and trying to find a personal expression for personal emotions. Emile Zola's definition of art as "nature seen through a temperament" may not be a complete and final answer to the age-old question "What is art?»-still it is one of the best definitions so far advanced. After all, the enchantment of art is, to a large extent, synonymous with the magnetism and charm of personality, and those who adorn their homes with paintings, etchings and sculptures of quality do more than beautify heir dwelling places. They surround themselves with manifestation of creative minds, with clarified and visualized emotions that tend to lift human life to a higher plane. _ Development of love for the beautiful enriches the resources of happiness of the individual. And the welfare of nations is built on no stronger foundation than on the happiness of its individual members.

  • Highlights from the William J. Glackens Collection in NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale
    Highlights from The William J. Glackens Collection in NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale By: Elizabeth Thompson Colleary Introduction to the Collection Every time a group of paintings by William Glackens is shown one gets from them much of the sensuous joy that the artist must evidently have had when he painted them. His are no perfunctory productions of a manufacturer of paintings. They are fragments of his life, of the pleasures he has felt at being in the sun in certain delightful places and above all of the pleasure derived from just painting’ 1 Written by an art critic reviewing an exhibition of paintings in 1931 by William J. Glackens (1870–1938), this statement aptly describes the experience that awaits visitors to the Glackens Wing at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale. As the largest repository of resplendent works by the artist, recently described as a “master of delight” and praised in his lifetime for “his genius for transforming his inner joyousness to canvas,” 2 the collection includes painting spanning the years 1891 to 1938, thus from the defining phases of Glackens’s career—from his early days as an artist-reporter and illustrator, through his recognition as an urban realist aligned with the famed painter and teacher Robert Henri, to his brilliant flowering when he came into his own, inspired by the vivid colors of the French Impressionists and his American modernist contemporaries. Among the holdings are examples of his finest works as an illustrator, among them The Night after San Juan (1898), which depicts the aftermath of a battle in the Spanish-American War, Far from the Fresh Air Farm (1911), and Christmas Shoppers, Madison Square (1912), the latter two bustling New York City street scenes replete with lively vignettes and abundant period detail.

In observance of this, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, the Carnegie Gallery of the University of Maine at Orono and the Colby College Art Museum are presenting the exhibition. Landscape in Maine, 1820-1970. It was during the first few years of Maine's statehood that American artists turned for the first time to landscape painting. Prior to that time, the primary form of painting in this country had been portraiture. When landscape appeared at all in a painting it was as the background of a portrait, or very occasionally, as the subject of an overmantel painting. Almost simultaneously with the artists' interest in landscape as a suitable sub- ject for a painting, they discovered Maine and its varied landscape. Since then, many of the finest American artists have lived in Maine where they have produced some of their most expressive works.
