THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
OF THE FINE ARTS 1911-1912
The Pennsylvania Academy is the oldest school in America
devoted exclusively to the cultivation of the fine arts.
!Juring the hundred and more years of its existence, it has
aided ill the tmining of Illany of the men and women whose names
are the most illustrious on the pages of American Art. Among its
former students are eminent painters-figure, landscape, and marine-mural decorators, illustrators, and sculptors of national reputation. In fact, its history is in no small measure the history of
American Art itself.
The :-ichool is nnder the immediate care of a Curator ami
Committee on Instruction appointed by the President and Board
of Directors, together with a Faculty composed of representative
artists of the clay, men of wide experience as teachers and eminently
qualified to discover and develop every latent talent which students
may possess.
The aim of the Academy is not only to supply the best facilities for the study of the Fine Arts in general, but also by means of
regular courses of study to equip its students for any special line
of artistic work which they may desire to follow.
It wastes no time in preparing its students fOl- admission to its
,'''llrses of study, but, presupposing that they have received prilIlary instnIction already, engages them at once and exclusively in
the study of the Fine Arts and hends all its energies in this dinoct iOll alont'.
It especially aims to instruct its students in correct Drawing,
alld SOllie of its largest prizes are based upon this fundamental
requisite to graphic art. It aims, furthermore, to instruct its pupils
ill Color, its harmony and contrast, and to create and develop in
t hem a correct color sense, also in composition, in perspective, and
ill every other essential to a comprehensive study of the fine arts.
Lectures of general and special interest are given during the
year, alld the students may attend them without extra cbarge.
The Academy's Permanent Collection of paintings and sculpture
is an important adjunct to the students' regular work.

....

~

.' .•

The Permanent Collection of paintings and sculpture includes
the Gallery of National Portraiture, the Temple Collection of
Modern American Paintings, and the Gibson Collection, which is
largely composed of works of the Continental schools.
Copying in the galleries is permitted to students under reasonable regulations.
The Annual Exhibitions held by the Academy bring together
the best examples of American painting and SCUlpture, and enable
the student to follow intelligently the various movements of
modern art, and study the technical methods by which the art of
the day is achieving its results. These exhibitions have been
recognizee! for many years as being the foremost in America.
During the past year they included:
An Exhibition of Water Colors composed of 678 examples,
representing 199 different artists;
An Exhibition of Miniatures composed of 138 examples, representing 75 different artists, and including also examples of foreign
miniaturists;
An Exhibition of Architecture by the T-Square Club of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects, composed of 580 items, and representing 117 architects ; and finally,
The Academy's ro6th Annual Exhibition of Oil Paintings and
Sculpture, composed of 375 paintings and 148 sculptures, and
representing a total of 303 artists. This Exhibition was opened to
public view for seven weeks and visited by 58,335 people.
The Academy is equipped in every way to teach the technique
of Painting and Sculpture.
The instmctioll it affords is fully equal from a technical standpoint to that obtainable in Europe. Its Faculty, collections, galleries, class-rooms, and equipment of models and casts are admirably
fitted for their purpose.

TRAYELLING SCHOLARSHIPS
As far as instruction is concerned there is no necessity whatever for the student to leave America, but, by the liberal provision
of the wills of Emlen Cresson and Priscilla P., his wife, a fund has
been created, as a memorial to their deceased son, \ViIliam Emlen
Cresson, Academician, the income of which is to be applied by
the Academy in sending its most meritorious students to Europe.

The income is divided into scholarships of $500 each, awarded to
the students impartially upon the merits of their work.
During the last year twenty-one students were awarded $500
each and sent abroad for a period of four months, from June to
Septem ber inclusive, thereby enabling- them to return to the
Academy during the fall and continue their studies.

Besides the Cresson scholarships, other substantial prizes are
utTered to students as hereafter stated, and every incentive held out
to them to develop their talents to the uttermost.
The Academy building is located in the heart of Philadelphia,
II·itbin one square of the City Hall and within two or three blocks
of tlIe central city railroad depots. While it is convenient to the
husiness portion of the city, it is also readily accessible to the
residential districts, and students can obtain good board at reasonahle rates. Philadelphia is often called" The City of Homes,"
"nd of all the gn·ater American cities it is probahly the most
\\",,(thy of the nallle. HOllses can be purchased or rented upon
easy terms, and apartments and studios obtained by the year or ily
(he n]())lth lIpon fair and reasonable rates.
The cost of living
is lOll".
The city contains, in addition to the Academy's gallery, a
numher of notable collections of paintings which are accessible to
students. Among the more important may be mentioned: The
\\'ilstach Collection in Fairmount Park; The Lankenau Collection al the Drexel Institute; the historical paintings of the
I fistorical Society of Pennsylvania, and of Independence Hall;
the collections of John G. Johnson, of Peter A. B. Widener, and
of the late vVilliam L. Elkins.

by The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in sending pupils
of merit to Europe.
During the past year the Academy sent abroad twenty-one
pupils. There were 14 painters, 1 sculptor and 6 illustrators.
The awards are divided among the various branches of instrllction tJ ught in the Schools, based upon the number of pupils
in each Course as one factor, and the standard of the work as
another factor. The award consists of $500 to each student, to be
expended in foreig-n travel and work, within the limits of the
Scholarship.
It is the intention of the Cresson Scholarships to give to the
students of the Academy the advantage of seeing some of the
important Gall eries and Art Schools abroad, and the Academy
desires to extend the benefit of the Scholarships to as many
students as possible, provided they possess the necessary merit.
The trip abroad is limited to the summer vacation, a period of four
months, from June to September inclusive, so that stude nts can
return to the Academy for study during the ensuing sc hool year:
The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Instruction, may, in case of exceptional merit, permit
a student to compete for the Cresson Scholarships again, or
lengthen the term to be allowed in foreign travel.
During th e past year four students were sent abroad for the
sc,'ond tim e.
No student will be awarded a Cresson Scholarship who has not
studi ed at least two years in the Academy in the regular course in
Drawing and Painting, or in Sculpture. or in Illustration.

To the students in the Schools the Academy's Reference Library
and Galleries are free.
The permanent collection of paintings and sculpture, including
the Gallery of National Portraiture, the Temple Collection of
Modern American Paintings, and the Gibson Collection, largely
made up of works of the Continental Schools, is of great value

Copying in the Galleries is permitted under reasonable regnlations.

As a temporary home for the Art Student
Philadelphia has un i que advantages.
Known as the .. City of Homes," it affords
good living at a lower cost than is possible
in any other large city in the East.
In historical interest it is rich, and its
suburbs, easy of access, offer unusual
chance for out-of-door work. Opportunities
for general culture are varied and the
Academy is fortunately able to secure
special rates for its students to many of the
lectures and concerts given each season.
The Academy itself is centrally located
and within short walking distance from it
are good boarding-places. The two principal railroad stations are each within five
minutes' walk.
Recognizing that a comfortable living
place is an aid to serious study the management invites correspondence with students
from a distance and offers freely its information and aid.
