THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
OF THE FINE ARTS 1916-1917

i
I!

The Pennsylvania Academy conducts the oldes t school in
America devoted exClusively to the cultivation oC the fine arts.
-- During the h undred a nd mo re years of ils ex istellce, it h:ls
'Iided in the trl'lining of many of the men a nd wo me n whose nam es
are the most illustrious on the pages of Americ;1Il Art. Among its
form e r stutJ ents are el''1in cnt painters-figu re , la nd sc;!. pe. and ma rine-mural decorators, illu strato rs, a n ~sc u l pto rs of natio nal reputa tio n. In fact, it" history is in no s mall measure th e history of
American Art itself.
Its School is under the immediate care of a Cu rator and
Comm ittee on Instruction appoi nted by the Pre~ i dent a nd Board
of Directors, together with a Faculty composed of representative
artists o f the day, men o f wide experience as teac h e~ a nd e rnine ntl }'
qualified to tJiscover and dev.e lop every lalent talent wh ich studenl!'
Illay possess. It docs not whllt s tudents unl ess they intend to be
serio lls wo rkers a nd will ing to make some sac rifice for the ca li se of
art, nor d oes it want students who expect it to leach t he m ;!.nd
su pport them at the same time .
The aim of tbe Scbool is Dot only to supply the best facilities for the study of tbe Fine Arts in general, but also by means of
reg ular ccwrses of study to equip its students for any speci al line
of artistic work which they may desire to follow.
It wastes no lime in prepa rin g its studen ts for ad mi ssio n to il s
courses of study, but engages them at once alHl excl usively in
the s tudy o f the Fine A rts and bends a ll its e ne rgies in th is d irectio n a lone .
It especia ll y aims to instruct its stude nt'> in correc t Drawing,
and some of its largest pri zes ,ue based upon this fundamental
requi site to gmphic art. It aims, furthe rmore, to ins truct its pupil s
in the harmo ny and contrl'lst o f Color, and to create and develop in
the m a co rrect colo r sense, also in composition, in pers pective, and
in every other essential to a comprehensive s tud y of the fine arLo;; .
Lectures of general and special interes t a re g iven during the
year, and the s tudents may attend them without extra charge.
The Academy's Permanent Collection of paintings and sculpture
is an important adjunct to the students' regula r work.

The re rmanent Co llection of paintings a nd sculptu re includes
the Gallery of National Portraiture, the Temple Collection of
Modem American Paintings, and the Gibson Collection, which is
largely composed o f works of the Continental school s.
Copying in the galleries is permitted to ~ttlll e nl s under reasOIl -

the student to follow intelli}{cnlly the v:\rious movements of
m od ern art, <llld study the technica l m ethods hy which lhe ;ut of

lhe day is ach iev ing its results. These exhibitions h:1.VC heen
recognized for m a ny yC:l. rs as bei llg the fo re mos t in Ame rica.
During the p:tst year they included:
A n Exh ihi tion of ,"Vater Colors composed of 977 exam ples .
representing 238 difTe rent artists ;
... A n Ex}.l. ibi lion of r\'li ~:l ture!' co m posed of 171 exam ples. represe nting 78 (lilleren l artists;
.
The Ac~denly's f il t h Allnu~ 1 Exhibition of O il P~illlillgs ami
Scu lpture, composed of 439 paintings a nd 217 scu lptures, and
representi ng a total of 371 artists. This Exh ibition wa~ opened to
p uhlic view for seven weeks and visited by 51,530 people.
Tbe Academy is equipped in every way to teac h the tecbnique
of Pa inting aod ScUlpture.
.
The instruct ion it affords is full y equa l from a technietl slal1tl·
poi nt to that obtainable in Europe. IL.. F aculty, coll ections, J.!alleries class-rooms, a nti equipment of models Olll<i casls :lre adlllif:lhly
fitted for their purpose. In fact, it can teach art to Am er icans
better than they can be taught abroad, and it is an exploded idea
that it is neces~nry to go to Europe in order to st udy in some parti cular artis tic" aln losphere."

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 pos sible
in any other large city in the Ea s t.
In historical interest it is rich, and it s
suburbs , easy of access, offer unusual
chance for out-of_door work. Opportunitie s
for general culture are varied and the
Academy is fortunately able to secure
special rates for its student s to many of the
lectures and concerts given each s eason.

The Academy itself is centrally l ocated
and within short walking distance from il
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 student s
from a distance and offers freely its infor_
mation and aid .
