A Time for Growth and Change Non-Profit U.S. Postage PAID Permit #375 Doylestown, PA OF DELAWARE VALLEY, INC. Founded 1962 119 Walnut Street OF DELAWARE VALLEY, INC. Haddonfield, NJ 08033 Founded 1962 2016- 2017 School Year Newsletter Spring 2017 A Time for Growth and Change Over the last six years my time on the board has been rather intriguing, somewhat like when salted caramel became a flavor and you weren’t quite sure whether you were going to think it was just okay, or fall in love. The contacts within the Philadelphia Art Community, dining with artists and educators, the random museums and venues unseen, or the topics where a new appreciation was gained were unexpected treats. The insight needed for of a non-profit and of course the wonderful friends and experiences have been both stimulating and sustaining. As my term as president comes to a close, a smile forms. Yes there will be more free time, but that my fellow members, is not the reason! Simply put I am glad that I did not resist. In life we sometimes resist what is a potential chance for growth, which often coincidently occurs when we move outside of our comfort zone. Isn’t that what we instruct our students to Danielle Clarissa Blodget, President do when they seem to detest art? Over the past few decades society has reminded us that we are overbooked and overscheduled and must learn to say no. Which in many cases is of course warranted. Yet the reality of everyone saying “no ” can result in an undesired consequence. I shall resist from commenting on the political parallels of late. Joining a board often makes some of us, myself included, murmur “ I am so not the board type” So my smile grows wider because nothing blew up, nothing scandalous happened and I was not awake endless nights prepping for AGTS. I picked up a few skills, padded my resume and made lifelong friends, all while being surrounded by the world of art. As Spring unfolds we find this representation of growth and change in many works, whether in nature’s landscape or man’s activities documented through celebration and hard work as we look forward to brighter more productive days. The proverbial out with the old, in with the new comes to mind and perhaps is apropos in regards to my and other board members departures. During the winter months we have been assembling the information received from districts and looking at the long term growth of AGTS as we plan for the coming term. One of the items that has faced our organization and is of growing concern is the ability to continually attract new members both at the district level as well as the board. So we bring this dilemma to you the entire membership in hopes that a few will take the chance, step out of your comfort zone and reach out to the contact information provided Sometimes that new flavor turns out to be rather satisfying! Much love to all of you and thank you for touching my life. Dani Note: You will fall in love with your new President Lisa Gressen. Please join me in welcoming her at the June Portfolio Exchange, she will be the warm brilliant one standing at the podium with a twinkle in her eyes.

By the late 19th century, print dealers promoted “remarque proofs” as more valuable and ex - clusive than impressions without them. Sloan’s remarques, included on etchings found in the most deluxe editions of the de Kock novels, are often clever puns on the illustrations and enhance their meaning. The Misplaced Kiss ,1905, etching, state 2 of 3, 6 x 4 in. (also on the cover). From the novel Cherami , vol. 1. Partial and promised gift of Gary, Brenda, and Harrison Ruttenberg. The dual cause of The Misplaced Kiss —alcohol and ardor—can be found in the remarque of a blindfolded, tipsy cupid next to an overturned champagne bottle and glass. Although illustrating only a moment in the narrative, Sloan infuses the remarque with the essence of the scene. rom 1902 to 1905, American artist John Sloan F(1871–1951) created 53 etchings to illustrate novels by French author Charles Paul de Kock (1793 –1871), whose satires of early 19th-century Parisian society were popular in the United States around the turn of the century. While Sloan is best known for his gritty depictions of life in the streets, taverns, and tenements of New York City, the de Kock commission gave him the op portunity to refine his etching technique and hone his ability to convey anecdotal incidents with wry humor.

  • Caroline Peart, American Artist
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities MOMENTS OF LIGHT AND YEARS OF AGONY: CAROLINE PEART, AMERICAN ARTIST 1870-1963 A Dissertation in American Studies by Katharine John Snider ©2018 Katharine John Snider Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2018 The dissertation of Katharine John Snider was reviewed and approved* by the following: Anne A. Verplanck Associate Professor of American Studies and Heritage Studies Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Charles Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies and History John R. Haddad Professor of American Studies and Popular Culture Program Chair Holly Angelique Professor of Community Psychology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the life of American artist Caroline Peart (1870-1963) within the context of female artists at the turn of the twentieth century. Many of these artists’ stories remain untold as so few women achieved notoriety in the field and female artists are a relatively new area of robust academic interest. Caroline began her formal training at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts at a pivotal moment in the American art scene. Women were entering art academies at record numbers, and Caroline was among a cadre of women who finally had access to formal education. Her family had the wealth to support her artistic interest and to secure Caroline’s position with other elite Philadelphia-area families. In addition to her training at the Academy, Caroline frequently traveled to Europe to paint and she studied at the Academie Carmen.

  • 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.

  • Pène Du Bois, Guy American, 1884 - 1958
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Pène du Bois, Guy American, 1884 - 1958 Paul Juley, Guy Pène du Bois Standing in Front of "The Battery", 1936, photograph, Peter A. Juley & Son Collection, Smithsonian American Art Museum BIOGRAPHY Guy Pène du Bois was a noted art critic as well as a painter of pointed, sometimes witty, scenes of modern social interactions. Pène du Bois was born in Brooklyn, New York, on January 4, 1884. His father, Henri Pène du Bois, a journalist and writer of Louisiana Creole heritage, passed down his admiration of French language and culture to his son. Pène du Bois attended the New York School of Art from 1899 to 1905, where he studied first with William Merritt Chase (American, 1849 - 1916) and later Robert Henri (American, 1865 - 1929). Pène du Bois’s fellow pupils included George Bellows (American, 1882 - 1925), Rockwell Kent (American, 1882 - 1971), and Edward Hopper (American, 1882 - 1967). Hopper and Pène du Bois remained close friends throughout their careers. In 1905 he went to Paris with his father and briefly studied at the Academie Colarossi and took lessons from Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (Swiss, 1859 - 1923). He first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1905. Pène Du Bois’s work reflects a close observation of modern Parisian life in subjects such as men and women interacting in public spaces like cafés. He drew inspiration from contemporary French artists like Edgar Degas (French, 1834 - 1917) and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864 - 1901). Du Bois and his father were forced to return to New York in 1906 after the elder Pène du Bois fell ill, but he died before they arrived.
