BUILDING Mayland T. McAvoy, Superintendent 3 REPORT OF ' THE OFFICERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Weare pleased to report that the year 1952 was again a very active one, marked by changes and achievements which have great bearing on the present health of the institution and on its opportunities for the future.

The records of the Academy make clear that over the many years of its existence, its progress has not always been smooth. The fire :which de­ stroyed our first building in 1845, the difficulties of financing before this conflagration, and then the tremendous undertaking of erecting our present building, and many more episodes, have presented grave proble~s. This yeqr must be recorded as another time when finances have been upper­ most in our minds.

The Academy's endowment has received few major contributions duri~g the last fifty years. Income from investments is lower, while every current expense has increased as the purchasing power of the dollar has de­ creased. These factors,combining with the smaller enrollment in our schools; which in turn was chiefly brought about through the expiration of many of the scholarships available through the G. I. Bill of Rights, all have presented us with serious problems. On the other hand, we feel that the Academy has surmounted this current series of problems with distinguished success, due to very generous financial backing of our work from a . num­ ber of new sources.

In 1951 the 49th Annual Exhibition of Water Colors; Prints and Drawings was held, but on a very much curtailed scale. In' 1952 this exhibition, cele­ brating its 50th anniversary, once more returned to its former national and international scope and was held on the' scale of previous years. This was made possible through a generous contribution of $3500 from the Catherwood Foundation. Mr. Thornton Oakley, President of the Philadel­ phia Water Color Club (co-sponsor ~ith the Academy for these exhibiHons) made this grant possible through his enthusiastic and successful effort in support of the exhibition.

A full report will record details of the 147th Annual Exhibition of Oil Painting and Sculpture, whieh each year is the major exhibition, and which opened our 1952 program. The mounting costs of holding this exhibition

.4 foreshadowed its curtailment or suspension, but we are proud to· report that, through the generous gift of Mrs. Harrison S. Morris of the sum of $10,000 for each year, this venerable and distinguished annual exhibition will be held in traditional fashion during the next succeeding three years.

Another major transaction is the sale of our property at Chester Springs, where we maintained a summer school from 1916 through 19~0. The sale was motivated by the fact that during the thirty-four years of operation of the school, the style and fashion of summer schools of art completely changed, in that the most successful and desirable of such schools were either summer sessions of the fine arts departments of major universities, or were studio classes given by leading teachers of art at their own summer homes, and that no institution endeavored to maintain a summer school on the style of a complete residential and recreational installation. From the sale we received $100,000, half of which was secured on a purchase money mortgage. Some of this money was spent on major repairs to the roof of our building.

The greatest effort should be placed on increasing our student enrollment, but this task is made easier by the fact that our school is the best institution for training in the fine arts in the United States. As one very real evidence of the excellent training oui' students receive and the unique scholarship and prize opportunities they enjoy, we have compiled information and in­ cluded it with special emphasis in the ,school catalogue issued for the cur­ rent season. This record of prizes won and scholarships received by our students will be found repeated in this report under the heading of School.

The second great painting by Benjamin West, this one titled Death on the Pale Horse, which had hung high over the stairs since 1894, has been handsomely conserved and installed upon the wall of Gallery B. Its setting, with draperies to cover it during transient exhibitions, and its lighting, now match its companion piece, Christ Reiected, which was similarly treated and installed last year. These improvements have been of vast importance to our building. The general richness of this front area of the Academy galleries has been further enhanced by the installation of a group of very beautiful pieces of antique furniture in Gallery N, as an indefinite loan from Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Bendiner.

The large canvas Pat Lyon at the Forge by John Neagle also' had con­ servation attention and is now in splendid condition.

5 We want particularly to record the gratitude of the President and the Board concerning the many gifts which again are listed in this report. The permanent collection has been greatly enriched and once again certain important gaps in that collection have been filled.

Mr. Arthur c._Kaufmann was elected on March 10, 1952, by unanimous vote, as a member of the Board of Directors; Mr. David M. Gwinn, also by unanimous vote, was elected to the Board at the meeting held on December 8, 1952. JOSEPH T. FRASER, JR., Director JOHN F. LEWIS, JR., President

16 TRANSFERS FROM THE PERMANENT CO LL ECTION

During the War of 1812, the ship Marquis de Somerueles, flying the American flag, and carrying in her cargo 21 paintings and 52 prints by Italian artists destined for The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, met a British man-o'-war, was confiscated and tqken to· the port of Halifax, Nova Scotia. This was a great blow to the young Academy. Its directors petitioned the Vice-Admiralty in Halifax, which resulted in Sir Alexander Croke's reply: "Heaven forbid that such an application to the generosity of Great Britain should ever be ineffectual . . . With real

sensations of pleasure . . . I decree the restitution of the property . . . II The paintings and prints were returned' to Philadelphia by truce ship and Sir Alexander's decision . became a precedert in international law.

On March 18, 1952, as a result of correspondence carried on for some time prior by the Academy, the Nova Scotia Museum of Fine Arts in Halifax, and the U. S. Consul General A. W. Klieforth at Halifax, the Academy contributed Landscapes, Nos. 7 and 2 by Salvator Rosa (part of the confiscated shipment) to the Nova Scotia Museum for its permanent collection, in recognition of an advanced legal decis.ion by their court in 1813. This was done at an elaborate ceremony attended by repre­ sentatives of the Crown, the Premi·er, the Chief Justice, and many other officials, including representatives of press and radio. The speeches of acceptance were broadcast throughout Canada by the Canadian Broad ­ casting Corporation, and re-broadcast to the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The broadcasting corporation later presented the Academy with a recording of the broadcast.

On January 26th, the Academy also presented the painting Deliverance of Leyden by Johan Bernard Wittkamp, the large canvas which hung for many years high in the Academy's stairwell, to the Government of The Netherlands, through its Ambassador, Dr. J. H. van Roijen, a t a dinner a t the Ritz-Carlton Hotel held in connection with The Netherlands Cen­ te nary Exhibition at the National Philatelic Museum.

As it becomes increasingly evident that the Academy's role is the spon­ soring of American art, and since no conditions existed to prohibit its doing so, the Academy was in a position to make these appropriate t ransfers of European paintings from its <;ollections.

The various activities in our schools, winter (day and evening) and summer, were successfully conducted through the period of this report. The general calibre of the work as reported by the F'aculty was satisfactory, although w e are still feeling . the effects of the considerable decrease in enrollment which followed the expiration of the major number of scholarships en­ joyed under the G. I. Bill of Rights. The enrollment of the schools was as follows:

Winte r School: January through May, 1952 169 September 1952 t hrough January 1953 175 Summe r School: June 22nd through July 31 st 23

The six-weeks' summer school, held at Broad and Cherry Streets, was f ound to fill a real need for city art students who could not plan for study at distant places, and continued to be a boon to those members of our Faculty who served us through that time.

Few changes need be noted in our Faculty. Mr. Franklin Watkins, the f ortunate recipient of a Fulbright Grant to be painter-in-residence at The American Academy in Rome, was granted a leave-of-absence for the school year 1952-53. Unfortunately for Mr. Wat kins, he was not able to carry his plans forward as originally made and his sailing was delayed, but our school was the gainer by a considerable number of unscheduled visits for which we were very grateful. Mr. Harry Rosin also requested a y ear's leave-of-absence for the same period, and Mr. Charles Rudy was engaged in his stead for those two semesters. Mr. Morris Blackburn was engaged to instruct a new class in the graphic arts, and Mr. Theodor Siegl has continued his lectures on the chemistry of color, preparation of grounds, et cetera.

This report should note particularly that, in order to make every effort to maintain the pre-eminent position of our schools, and to be intelli­ gently knowledgeable of practices engaged in elsewhere, a committee of the Faculty, and the Director of the Academy, visited five of the major fine arts schools in the East in. the Spring of this year. The result of that pilgrimage was a rededication to the sound fundamentals of teaching w hich have been the strength of the Academy through its long and v enerable history. One excellent idea, however, emerged from the general o bservations made, and that concerned a more definitely planned first year course in which . a matriculating student would engage, unless he or

21 she came with advance credits or standing. The new graphics class was one of those advantages added to the experience of the new student, along with another new class titled Introduction to Design taken over by Mr. Hobson Pittman.

All members of the Faculty cooperated · handsomely in the installation of this first-year venture, but its final effectiveness cannot be told until the year is over and the results appraised. However, at the time of writing this report, it is believed that the major points in the new program are worthy of continuance.

A series of lectures, and some engagements embracing class criticism, were planned as an adjunct to the school, as well as to the activities of the galleries. In the month of November, Jacques Lipchitz and Eugene Speicher lectured and criticized. Eric Newton and Maxim Karolik lectured in the galleries in December. Vaclav Vytlacil and Peter Blume are sched­ uled for lecture and criticism in February 1953. The four . visits accom­ plished can be recorded as being extremely successful, the students finding the criticisms of vital importance, the lectures in the galleries being splendidly attended, and the visiting celebrities received with great en­ thusiasm on each occasion. A feature of the artists' visits was their appear­ ance on the Board of Education's television program (WPTZ) the morning following their visit here. This important asset in our public relations pro­ gram was under the able direction of Mr. Jack Bookbi~der.

In addition to the magnificent sum represented in the various awards made by the Academy in May of 1952, we are happy to list others which went to students currently registered, or having very recently completed their studies with us : Thomas E. Yerxa, 3rd, and Philip E. Fowler each won $2000 grants; Ben Kamihira won $1000; Paul Anthony Greenwood and Leade E. Enders each won $500; from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation in October. Mr. Yerxa also won the Carl Zabriskie cash award of $100 from the Annual Exhibition of the Allied Artists of America in November, and the Bronze Medal at the Da Vinci Society's Tenth Annual Exhibition. At the latter, honorable mention was awarded to Marie Martino. Ann Eshner and Royal Lewando won First and Second Prizes at the Fifth Annual Exhibition at the Cheltenham Art Center, with honorable, mention going to B.en Kamihira. Mr. Kamihira . also received' the First Hallgarten Prize of $300, and James C. Lueders the Third Prize of $100 from the National Academy of Design. Franklin Boggs, now artist-in­ residence at Beloit College, Wisconsin, won the top award of $600. in

22 addition to a $300 purchase prize in the Fifth Annual Gimbel Art Com­ petition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in August. Edward Fenno Hoffman, 3rd, ~ailed in June for the Chateau de La Napoule, near Cannes, France, where, at the invitation of Mrs. Henry Clews, wife of the late sculptor, he will use that artist's excellently-equipped studio for work over a period of eighteen months. His wife and children went with him. They will live at the Chateau.

It should also be noted here that particular honor went to four members of our faculty within the year. Walter Stuempfig won the $600 Benjamin Altman Figure Prize in the National Academy of Design's 127th Annual Exhibition. Walker Hancock's great monument to the War dead of the Pennsylvania Railroad was unveiled in 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, and only a few blocks away another handsome war memorial was erected for University of Pennsylvania students who lost their lives in the late War - a monumental flagpole, with sculptured base by Charles Rudy. Martin Jackson, of our summer school f~culty was awarded a $1000 grant from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation.

It is important to pay particular attention to the new art education pro­ gram announced this year, for the first time, through which the Bachelor of Science in Education Degree (for teaching and supervising art educa­ tion in the public schools), is presented in collaboration with our long established co-ordinated co,urse with the University of Pennsylvania's School of Fine Arts, and now augmented by our affiliation with the Uni­ ve~sity's School of Education. This is a five-year course, the first two years of which are divided between the University and the Academy. At the end of the second year, however, the students transfer from the under­ graduate co-ordinated program to the School of Education for the re­ maining three years of the course.

Through the interest of one of our Directors, Mr. James P. Magill, an electric kiln was installed in the school, thereby giving opportunity to the sculpture students to acquire the technique and skill of the ceramic medium, and preparing them to take advantage of the expanding market for small pieces.

Miss Martha K. Schick reports a continuing active interest in the school library from which 813 items were withdrawn and returned on loan. Four books and three photographs were unaccounted for at the end of the year. The purchase of 81 new books and the receipt of 22 as gifts, is also recorded.

23 PUBLIC RELAT I ONS

Bringing the fine arts and music together continues to be one of the most rewarding activities of this department. In the five free chamber music concerts held this year in connection with our exhibitions, we have pro­ grammed works rarely heard publicly in the city. Attendance and interest have grown _ as the public has become more aware of these evenings. Judging from the number who are ready to enter as we open the doors at 7:30 and use the hour before concert time to see the exhibitions, our guests have a lively interest in both art and music.

Again, we are indebted to the Music Performance Trust Fund of the American Phonograph Industry, in cooperation with Local 77 - of the A merican Federation of Musicians, for providing the musicians' fees; fo V ladimir Sokoloff for arranging -the programs and for his own disti~­ guished playing; to the various musicians who appeared on t he pr'ograms; to N . Stetson and Company for lending and tuning the piano each time; a nd to the f riend of the Academy who underwrote the cost of transporting t he instrument.

O n April 23rd and 24th, The American Society of Ancient Instruments came to us for the second consecutive year, this time to present two of the three c?ncerts in their Twenty-Fourth Annual Festival. It was a pleasure -to welcome t his unique group to our galleries as they, too, came to present the rare and seldom-heard in music.

The s-even performances were played to a total of over 3000 persons.

This report gives us another opportunity to thank the various publicity media - newspapers, periodicals, radio, television, and especially the art critics - for the excellent cooperatiol} t hey have given us. We believe we are presenting exhibitions and other events of growing interest to the public, which accounts for the encouraging increase in attendance over 1951, but -we most happily give part of the credit for this increase to those listed above for keeping the public so well informed.

And here I should like to mention M r. Jack Bookbinder of our Faculty, w ho has scheduled Academy faculty members, exhibitors, and students on many occasions on his regular series of television programs taking art and a rtists to the classrooms of the public schools through his Board of Education p rograms.

24 During the year we have enrolled 143 new members; four members hc:'ve increased their classifications, and three have sent contributions with their dues, all of which accounted for $3667 in new funds. We report with regret the loss of 115 members through death, resignation or delinquency. The number of stockholders who responded to a letter from the President inviting them also to become members, was encouraging. However, espe­ cially since we will shortly celebrate the institution's 150th birthday, we hope many more will respond to that invitation. OUJ objective by that time continues to be 2000 members. We need your help to achieve it.

BUILDINGS MAIN BUILDING, BROAD AND CHERRY STREETS and ANNEX, 1834 ARCH STREET Two very important improvements can be recorded as accomplished in · our main building. The major portion of the roof of the Academy is made of skylights, installed as they were in -1876 when .the building was erected. They have long been a source of great trouble, and for the .Iast several seasons our exhibition floor has been in grave danger of very considerable damage from leaks. During the past summer, all of the roof area from the' stairhall west through the central section of the galleries, including that area over our most important Gallery F, was completely renovated, the old glass removed, and new installed. All of the r~maining skylights were given thorough attention so that all immediate danger of leaks is removed. The improvement in the light in . the galleries under these new skylights is very remarkable, and it is hoped that, over a period of several years, all of the remaining old skylights may receive the same attention. The side walls of the ventilating lantern were thoroughly examined, and the movable louvres in alternate sections sealed. We believe this will result in no handicap concerning ventilation, and will insure the saving of great heat loss in the winter seasons.

With the removal of the great pictures from our stairhall, recorded last year, it was all the more evident that the walls of that section of the building would have to have attention. Through the generosity of our President, this work, was accomplished, and a neutral color painted over the time-worn stained and ugly red of those walls, and carried completely to the skylight. This area, thus simplified in color and texture, makes for an even finer setting of the two Benjamin West paintings in the flanking galleries.

25 Readjustments were made in the school locker rooms, so that the students now have ample smoking rooms, chiefly furnished with equipment from the Chester Springs school.

The usual repainting and furbishing was carried on by our own mainte­ na~ce crew during the summer months, both at Broad and Cherry and at the Annex. WOMEN1S COMMITTEE This Committee lends assistance to the Officers, and to the Board of Directors, mainly where social activities are concerned.

It arranged receptions in honor of the artists exhibiting in ' the Philadelphia Artists' Gallery, from 4 to 6 o'clock, as follows: Raphael Sabatini, March • 21 st; Stella Drabkin, April 4th; Ben Eisenstat, April 18th; and Hum bert Howard, April 30th. (Receptions for the remaining two exhibitions in that Gallery were given by the artists, personally: Alice T. Roberts, March 7th; Virginia A. McCall, December 19thl• .

The Committee also arranged a reception in honor of Mr. Eric Newton, art critic of the London Sunday Times, following his talk at the Academy on the evening of December 2nd; Mr: and Mrs. George B. Roberts enter­ tained at dinner preceding it. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard T. Beale gave a reception at their home in honor of Mr. Maxim Karolik, before his talk at the Academy on the evening of December 16th, and Mr. and Mrs. John F. lewis, Jr., entertai'ned at dinner.

Several members had small dinner parties before the private views of the two annual exhibitions.

Mrs. Leonard T. Beale is Chairman.

THE FELLOWSHIP The Academy's alumni association is the Fellowship (organized in 18971. It . presented a program of lectures, demonstrations, and twice weekly during the winter season, a Croquis Class for its members and Academy students. Six evening programs of art films were also scheduled - one each month beginning in November of 1952. These were designed for Fellowship and Academy members, in addition to Academy students.

It sponsors a Students' Committee whose members are chosen from the student body with one of the group serving on the Fellowship's Board of

26 Managers, for the purpose of keeping the Board informed concerning the welfare of students, recommending them for teaching positions, or directing them to other opportunities or sources of income.

In 1952 it held its Annual Exhibition of Painting, Sculpture and Graphics from March 7th through April 6th. It sponsored an exhibition of student work during the same period.

The Fellowship sponsors the Gallery Talks for the Academy's annual exhibitions, provides the Fellowship Prize of $100 in each of the Academy's Annual Painting and Sculpture Exhibitions, and when staging its own exhibitions, gives the Academy $350 for the use of the galleries with attending services.

It has a membership of over 600 and an annual income of over $1500. Mr. Walker Hancock is President.

THE COMMITTEE ON FELLOWSHIP The Committee on Fellowship administers the Henry J. Thouron Memorial Fund, the Special Fund, the Picture Purchase Fund, and the Mary Butler Memorial Fund (total not yet complete), all for the benefit of Fellowship members, and present or former students, and seeks to be useful to both the Fellowship and the Academy when needed.

It (1) purchases pictures or sculpture to encourage or assist artists, or im­ prove the Loan Collection from which works are currently on exhibition in some forty schools, settlement houses, hospitals and other organizations or institutions; (2) provides art classes, generally in settlement houses, to give · study opportunities for the youth of those neighborhoods, as well as teaching experience and income for present and/ or former Academy stu­ dents; (3) gives a type of financial assistance not permissible from the regular Fellowship treasury, to current and former students; (4) assists needy current Academy students with tuition, artists' materials, or living expenses; (5) provides the Annual Gold Medal Award in the Annual Fel­ lowship Exhibitions.

It has organized an Emergency Committee of Students to work in Associa­ tion with the Committee on Fellowship in meeting illness and accident emergency needs in the student body.

Mrs. A. Bruce Gill is Chairman and Treasurer.
