The organization of the Dallas Art Association had its incep- tion in the minds of the art committee of the Public Library. In planning the library building Frank Beaugh, a well-known Texas artist, suggested that a room he properly lighted and arranged for an art gallery. This room when completed was most gratifying and attractive. A member of the building committee, the late Mr. J. S. Arm- strong, became so interested in procuring pictures that he offered to give one-half of any amount that could be raised for the purpose within a year.

  • Perspective: the Salmagundi Club
    WESTERN VIsta DI CLUB N GU ma L A HE S PERSPECTIVE: T OF sy E THE SaLMAGUNDI CLUB T OUR C S With a membership that spans from Thomas Moran to GE Scott Christensen, New York’s Salmagundi Club is a national treasure ma © ALL I WRIttEN BY Allen Morris Jones Western art as we know it now was effectively born in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period wherein a handful of painters and sculptors took up their tools and trekked west, making pilgrimages to Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona. Well-educated in the great traditions, they brought with them the visual vocabulary that was then being used in Paris, in London, in New York. Thomas Moran visited Yellowstone in 1871, then the Grand Canyon in 1873. Ernest Blumenschein threw a wheel in Taos in 1898, and E. Irving Couse bumped into Blumenschein, Joseph Henry Sharp and Bert Phillips in France, where he listened to them rave about the desert. Reading the biographies of these extraordinary painters, it soon strikes you that they had at least one thing in common, that the name of a single august club keeps cropping up. One of the oldest continuing art societies in America, the Salmagundi Club is housed in a beautiful four-sto- ry brownstone on Manhattan’s lower Fifth Avenue. An exhibition space, a restaurant, a library, a bar and a bil- liards room, here is a New York club in a faded tradition, a harkening back to those days when the word salon meant more than a place where you could go to get your hair cut.

  • Detwiller, Frederick K., 1882-1953 Skillman Library Papers, 1900-1965 Lafayette College
    DETWILLER, FREDERICK K., 1882-1953 SKILLMAN LIBRARY PAPERS, 1900-1965 LAFAYETTE COLLEGE BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Frederick Knecht Detwiller, a painter, printmaker, and Lafayette College alumnus, was born in Easton, Pennsylvania on December 31, 1882. He was the son of John J. Detwiller, a Pennsylvania doctor, and Arabella Knecht Detwiller. He was the grandson of Henry Detwiller, one of the first homeopathic physicians in the United States, and also of John Knecht, a founder and a director of the Bethlehem Iron Company. Detwiller attended Lerch's Preparatory School in Easton and the Easton Academy. It was while attending Easton Academy in 1893 that Detwiller won his first art prize in a drawing contest. At the insistence of his father, Detwiller entered Lafayette College in 1900 to prepare for a career in law. At Lafayette he was a member of the Lafayette College Glee Club, the Zeta Psi fraternity, and was supervising artist of the Melange yearbook. After graduating from Lafayette College in 1904, Detwiller continued his study of law at New York Law School, graduating in 1906. That same year he passed the bar exam, and went on to practice law for two years. In 1908 Detwiller left the legal profession to pursue his life-long aspiration, painting and drawing. He enrolled in graduate school at Columbia University to study architectural design and painting. In 1910, Detwiller left the United States to study in Europe. In France he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, where he won a medal for his architectural designs. He also studied at the Academie Collorossi in Paris as well as at the Royal Institute di Belle Art in Florence.
