Dedicated primarily to American art and the American artist, the Academy has held
annual and innumerable special exhibitions in practically unbroken succession sinee
its 111cept10n in 18<::4. Striving to keep pace with the developments in American
art, it continues to stage each year a fairly representative crOBS sect1onof
Amrican sculpture as well as painting and thus remains one of the few places in
the country where this 1s done.
While upable to offer the sizeable cash prizes that are available in some of the
countryts major exhIbitions, or have for purchases the large sums controlled by
others, the Academy has during the last 13 years turned over to 11 vine American
artists approximately $190,000 through sales, prizes and purchases from these
exhi bi tions made poesl ble through its Temple ~ G1~p1l'l ani Lambert Fundt!. Purchases
from the show, for which about $6000 is available this year, w111 be ~ounced
later. It is through the l .attar practice that the instItution has been able to
keep its Permanent Collection (a comprehensi'V'e eross-section of American art from
t he 17th century on) always in part contemporaneouB .
The 19+9 collection of 405 works was asaembledboth by invitation and JU1'1select1a1.
54~ of the 313 paintings shown was Jurled, as was 45i of the sculpture. '!he work
of artists from 28 states is represented.
Since the only way that the unknown artist Cfu,") get his work into a :maJor Alnerican
show is through the Jury system, it is encouraging to report that the 1949 Lippinoott
and Mary 8mi th Prizes.1 and the two Honorable Mentions 1n Sculpture 'Were awarded to
jUried \otork.
Each year new Juries of distinguished artists are chosen and thu$ the ACademy places
10 the handij of the profession the privilege and respon&ibility for assembling these
exhibitions. Since that responsibility rests with them, great care is exercised in
choosing artists for these posts.
This year Henry Varnum Poor (New City, N.. Y.) heads the Painters' JurY with Isabel
Bishop (Riverdale, N. Y.), George Gross (Douglaston, L. I.), Yasuo Kuniyoshi
(Woodstock, N. Y.) and Robson Pittman (Philadelphia), collaborating. Henry Kreis
(Essex, Connec ticut) is chairman of the Sculpture Jury, wi tb. Gaetano Cecere and
Alexander Archipenko (both of New York City) assisting.
Gallery Tal~ have been scheduled for 2~30 on the following d~s: January 29th Dorothy Grafly; February 3rd - Boris Blai; 10th - Hobson Pi ttmanj 17th - Cyril
Gardner; 24th - Walter E. Baum.

THl;!; INCAS
A photographic exhibition, THl;!; INCAS, prepared by LI}I'E Magazine,
which opened at The Museum of Natural History in New York, and
later was shown at the Metropolitan Museum, will open at The
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts on Monday, March 21st, for
one week only.
Frank Scherschel, LIFE's veteran photographer, made the photographs
during a six-months' tour of Central and South America.
He spent
many weeks in the high, cold mountains of Peru exploring and
photographing traces of the Inca civilization which vanished 400
years ago - a civilization which is still to some extent a mystery
because the Incas had no form of writing and did not record dates.
Scherschel's striking photographs, in enlarged dimensions for this
exhibition, graphically reveal the greatness of this little-known
and mostly unexp~ored empire of pre-Columbian America.
In conjunction with this exhibition, drawings and sketches of Peru
by two Academy students now working there on traveling scholarships A.Brockie stevenson, 262 Harvey street, Germantown, and John F.
Hanlen, 1218 .J:!;. 9th Avenue, Winfield , Kansas - will be shown.
Both young men are doing a rather unique thing in that they are
enrolled as students of the Academy 's school, but working on the
field, sending back examples of their work from time to time for
their instructors' criticism.
It is some of this work that will
be shown next week .
Both are ex-service men , Stevenson having served in the ~uropeh
theatre, and Hanlen in India and China.
)
The Academy is open weekdays \except Mondays) from 10 A. M. to 5 P.M.
Sundays and holidays from 1 to 5 P. M., and
on the evenings of Wednesday, March 23rd and 30th, when free chamber
music concerts and gallery l ectures are scheduled at 8:30.
The doors

Paint ings by Nancy Maybin Ferguson
Oils by NANCY MAYBIN F.l:!:RGUSON will be featured in the Philadelphia
Artists' Gallery of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from
Tuesday, March 22nd through Sunday, April 3rd.
It was her study with Charles Hawthorne in Provincetovm, Massachusetts,
that led to her great love of that charming community and eventually
to her buildi'ng a home there where she spenCls the sumlller months of each
year.
This exhibitimn will mainly comprise paintings of this fishing ·
town and art center with its churches, narrow streets, beautiful
cottonwood trees, sand dunes, wharves, and picturesque Portuguese
inhabitants and fishermen.
Educated at Girls' High SChool, the School of Design and The Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia , and with considerable travel
and work in Europe, Miss Ferguson has eXhibited at most of the principal
art centers or museu.ms in the country from Texas to California, through
the mid-west, the New .l:!:ngland states, New York, Washington, and of course,
extensively in her OVVTI city.
She has also exhibited in Paris.
Her
works are owned by many private collectors; by the Academy, Art Alliance,
Moore Institute, Woodmere in Philadelphia; by the Barnes Foundation in
Merion, and the Reading Museum.
Miss Ferguson won prizes while in the Academy's school; an!i l ater, the

Later when
Manshi p retu rned to head the sCUlptu re department , Morgan greeted hi m with:
ffI remember the first ,time you ever came through the door.
That was your
first day as a student, but I lmew right then you were an artist . "
Early in his career at the Academy his almost infallible memory became
apparent.
He could be counted upon to supply information of almost
any s ort,
In the early days when records such as we have today did not
exist, anyone wanting to know sorneth:Lng about a student, a f ormer student,
or a piece of art work , could u sually get it from Morgan.
Those who kneiJlf hi m say he was an art er:i.tic of unusual acumen and his
students say he was their best friend even if their severest critic.

WATER COLOR PORTFOLIO
BY JOSEPH W. JICHA
WINS FAVOR WITH TEACHERS
To stimulate interest among young students of painting in the relationship between fine arts work and commercial art, Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass
Company has made available to more than 5,000 art teachers a portfolio of
ten water colors done by Joseph W. Jicha, a Cleveland artist.
Tpe group
includes five in the plate glass series painted for Libbey-Owens-Ford and
five of his own creative works done over a period of years.
Hundreds of letters from art teachers, supervisors, and heads of 'schools
have been pouring in to company executives praising this educational material
and expressing appreciation for its worth in telling the story of "art in the
schools" to parents, fellow teachers and students.
Most of the teachers
speak of the dearth of good examples of art for classroom use.
Many put the
Jicha prints to work at once and will include them in next year's work. A few
have already framed the colorful prints for permanent display.
Some teachers received the portfolios just in time to complete the
year's work in water color.
One New York teacher said she had based five
final examiqation questions on the portfolio with its contrasting commercial
and fine arts.
Several school principals routed the pictures not only to art classes
but to American history and literature groups for realistic pictorial material
connected with early American life.
There have been essays written by students on the Jicha paintings and
it has been interesting to note how the youthful critics have caught the humor,
facial expressions, color, and other factors in the commercial art, expressing
appreciation for the more detailed story-picture.

The ten water color reproductions are printed in full color by letter-press
on heavy paper stock and are suitable for school exhibits or for framing for permanent use.
Along with the portfolio is a booklet which discusses the water color technique in general, provides a descriptive article on each of the individual paintings stressing certain comparative features between commercial and fine arts examples, and a sketch of Mr. Jicha, the artist.
A foreword to the booklet has been furnished by Blake-More Godwin, director
of the Toledo Museum of Art, who commends the portfolio and the pictures "to
teachers, parents, and students as an excellent means to show the effect of creative art on commercial work and prove the useful, everyday part that art plays
in our lives."
Mr. Godwin stresses the fact that Edward Drummond Libbey, founder of the
Toledo Museum of Art, and his own predecessor, the late George W. Stevens, first
director of the museum, felt that "art has a very definite place in the lives of
the average man, woman and child."
"From the very beginning the museum sought to interest those who would like
to do creative work in learning the fundamentals of good design and their application to several fields of artistic expression.
centered in the School of Design.
its classes for two generations.
Our art educational work is
Small children and mature adults have attended
We know that this type of education has had a
beneficent effect in many ways upon the development of our city and its cultural
life,1I said Mr. Godwin.
"It seems to me that the assembly of this group of commercial and fine arts
subjects done by Mr. Jicha so that students and instructors in art may compare
widely different techniques by the same artist in an immensely practical way of
bringing out this relationship of creative art to everyday business."
:
--3--
Mr. Godwin said good design is important in clothing, in a home, in an
automobile, in a public building, in a factory, or in a city plan.
Paintings in the portfolio include "Saturday Morning in Kingston," a
colorful study in rhythm painted in 1938 by Mr. Jicha at Kingston, Jamaica;
','The Unbeatable Captain Ford, II an historical picture depicting the installation of the first American-made plate glass in a retail show window in New
Albany, Ind., in 1867; "Earthbound," a scene along the east Florida coast
painted in 1948; "Her Treasure Shattered, II which was first in the LibbeyOwens- Ford series to recreate appreciation in fine plate glass
a picture
of the covered wagon days in the Ohio country; "Vieux Carre -- New Orleans",
a scene in the old French Quarter of New Orleans showing a totally new technique in painting lacy wrought iron work of the balconies .
"Wide Open Spaces ll , is an attracti ve scene off the end of a passenger
train in the pre-automobile era, in the days when it was almost impossible
to see the scenery through old-fashioned train windows, and when anything
was endured to ',' see America first"; "Louisiana Bayou, II depicts a storm scene
in the Teche country of Louisiana, beautiful for its cloud effects and lighting; "Window Shopping," marks the coming of polished plate glass into store
fronts as forerunner of the modern "visual front'; "Wai ting to Sail," painted
at Nassau in the Bahamas in 1929, emphasizes the blue-green waters of the
harbor and several contrasts of a'ction and lazy waiting; and "First Long
Trousers" is a nostalgic portrayal of the day the young fellow stood before
a three-way mirror in the tailoring establishment trying on his first long
trousers.
The commercial paintings are, of course, a part of the Libbey-Owens-Ford
full-page color presentation made to recreate for a modern generation the part
which beautiful, polished plate glass played in contributing to fine living
of a past generation, and emphasize how abundant and easy it is to have plate
:
- -4--
glass in homes, fUrniture and motor cars today.
The company has appropriated
$400,000 for the campaign and it will continue for several months.
Mr. Jicha who was commissioned to do the paintings is a graduate of the
Cleveland School of Art who went into advertising art work immediately out
of school.
In 1929, when he had been out of school ten years, he won the
Frank Logan Medal for first honors in in ternational competition in water colors
at the Chicago Art Institute.
Many times in the last 20 years his paintings have been exhibited in Chicago ,
Philadelphia and Cleveland and have been included in several traveling exhibi ts.
In 1936 he won an award at the Art Directors ' Show in New York.
The Jicha home is in Rocky River, Ohio, in a beautiful wooded area on the
shore of Lake Erie .
The commercial series points up also the 50th anniversary of the Rossford ,'
Ohio, plant of Libbey- Owens- Ford which was started by Edward Ford, son of Capt :
,
John B. Ford , who is the father of the plate glass industry in America.
The historical theme for the series of Jicha: paintings was developed by
James M. Ashley , director of public relations of Libbey-Owens-Ford,' and he
has been actively interested with Mr. Jicha in the research demanded to' fit
the paintings to definite periods of early American life.
A century ago hand- polished plate glass: was imported from France and
England to make the mirrors and small windows in costly homes.
But today an
abundant supply is available through the highly-machanized continuous casting and
precision grinding and polishing methods developed by plate' glass' manufaoturers .
Much of the glass for optical instruments used in the recent war was made by
the same methods that quality polished plate glass is made today for safety
plate glass for automobiles ,' for mirrors, insulating picture windows,: all-glass
doors, and open store fronts'.'

The full-page color advertisements unmarred by copy have been running in
Saturday Evening Post and Better Homes & Gardens and are scheduled to continue through Deoember, 1949.
The portfolio and its colored reproductions were produced by the Le'z iusHiles Company, Cleveland.

As a feature of Pennsylvania, Weet. The Pennsylvania Academy of t.he Fine Arts

acquired by-the institution. through purchase or gift during the last five years.
The list includes many well-known artists,

Martino, Jack BookbiJ.lder, Walter Stuemj:li'ig, Harry Rosin, John Folinebee, Har ry Leith-H.oas,
Carroll S. Tyson and Paul Froelich.
Purchases for the i'errnanent Collection are mainly acquired through income from
the Gilpin, 'remple end Lambert Funds - the Academy spending apprOXimately i,6000 to buy
works from its annual exhibitions.
The Lambert Fund specifically states that it be
used for "piotures by young artists who have not made standard reputations. Ii
However,
tho artists of many of the Lambert Fund purchases have lived to assume places of
importance in the art world.
Pennsylvania. may boast of having in the.'ieademy the oldest a.rt lnst! tution in the

Tuesday, January 27, 1948,
Alli~ce,
Members present: Marceau (in the chair), Benson, Carlton, Chambers, Coulson,

c. Pitz, Vice-President of the Art Alliance in charge of art, was also pJ'esent.
The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as eirculated.
Mr. Benson reported that nothing further had developed in the Board of Education t •
plan re teachers for museums or other insti tutions.
Mr. Benson also said it might be of interest to get a report from our various institutions as to what their plans will be during the Republican and Democratic
Conventions next summer. After some discussion, Mr. Klein suggested that we
invite Mr. Frank B. Murdoch, Jr., head of the City's Hospitality Committee, to
come to our next meeting and discuss the entire matter, and after that determine
what our course should be. Thil was agreed upon provided it would no t interfere
with any plans which our host for that meeting might have.
As Mr. John F. Lewis, Pre&;ident of the Art Alliance, was in New York, Mr. Mart)eell
turned the meeting oVer to Mr. Pi tz who welcomed us most cordially and then proeeeded to give an enlightening acco~nt of how that admirable institution operates
"without money!" The "wits" which he referred to as the substitute, are supplied.
by a small but devoted and efficient paid staff headed by Miss Kohl, and about 15
committees (one for eaCh branch of the arts). The chairmen and members of these
groups include many well-known professional s and people 'vhom the Art Alliance
could not afford to have on its payroll, but they give generously of their tille,
- talents, and of times money, in order that the A.rt Alliance may bring to its membere

Dedicated primarily to American art and the American artist, the Academy has held
annual and innumerable special exhibitions in practically unbroken success10n sinee
its iIfcept::\.on in 18ck. Striving to keep pace with the developments in Amerlcan
art, it continues to stage each year a fairly representative cross section of
AIOOrican sculpt ure as well as painting and thus remains one of the few places in
the country where this is done.
While unable to offer the sizeable cash prizes that are available in some of the
c ountryts major exhibitions, or have for purchases the large sums controlled by
others " the Academy has during the last 13 · years turned over to living American
artists approximately $190,000 through sales, pri zes and purchases from theBe
exhi bi tiona made poss1 ble through 1 ts Temple, G11p1l'l ani Lambert Funds. Purchases
from the show, for which about $6000 is available this 'lear, will be a.nnounce-d.
later. It is through the l:atter practice that the institution has been able to
keep its Permanent Collection (a comprehensl-ve eross-section of AmeriCa.t'l art from
the 17th century on) always in part contemporaneous.
The 1949 collection of 405 works was assembled both by inVitation and Jurr selectlcn.
54~ of the 313 paintIngs shown was juried, as was 45~ of the sculpture. '!he work
of artists from 28 states is represented.
Since the only way that the unknown artist can get his work into a l\W.Jor American
show is through the Jury system, it is encouraging to report that the 1$49 Lippinoott
and Mary 8mi th Prizes, and the two Honorable Mentions 1n Sculp'QU-e 'Were awarded to
jUried work.
Each year ne\V Juries of distinguished artists are chosen and thus the ACademy places
in the hand~ of the profession the pri vUege and responsibility for assembling these
exhibitions. Since that responsibilit1 rests with them, great care 18 exercised in
choosing artists for these posts.
Th1a year Henry Varnum. Poor (New Oi ty, N.. Y.) heads the Painters t Ju;ry with Isabel
Bishop (Riverdale, N. Y.), George Gross (Douglaston, L. I.), Yasuo Kuniyoshi
(Woods-toe k, N. Y.) and Hobson Pittman (Philadelphia), collaborating. Henl'Y' Kreis
(Essex, Connec ticut) is chairman of the Scul,pture Jury, wi tb Gaetano Cecere and
Alexander Archipenko (both of New York Cl ty) assisting.
Gallery Talks have been scheduled for 2f30 on the following d~8: January 29th Dorothy Grafly; F'ebruary 3rd - Boris Bla1; 10th - Hobson Pi ttmaIlj 17th - Cyril
Gardner i 24th - Walter E. Baum.

announced later .
"Expre ssiontstic" mi ght be the word best describing the major se ctton of the Water
Color and Print se ction of the exhibition, a lthough it contains work rangi ng Qll the
way from the purely academtc or repres enta tional through complet e ab straction .
Certainly, it is a thorough cross-section of c ont empor~y American art ef for t in
these mediums, coming as it does from 31 sta t es, with addi tional work by Can ad:ian ,
Chines e , FrenchA\.a nd Swedish artists.
(German, Norwegian, Spanish)
,'-------~
The Ac ademy continue s to champion the jur1ed shows , believing that , desp i t e t heir
handi caps , they are still the only democratic means through which the young unlmown
cap ge t his work into a large na tional exhibitton, and one of the best ways t o br:'.ng
the young potentia l to the for e . For instance , in this exhibttion it happens that 2
of the juried works won priz es and 2 won honorable menti on.
Some indication of the size of the Exhibition's drawing power can be gl eaned from the
fact that over 2200 water colors and prints wer e submitted to the Jury. Of the 526
pi eces shmm, sUghtly more than 200 wer e invited, with the balance juried. Approached from the number of artj. sts included, we find that 122 wor e invited t o exhibit
but 223 wer e included by Jury s el ecti on.
All work in the Mini atures s ection was juried . Over 170 items were submitted; 108
were chosen, repres enting the work of 57 artists .
Jurors for Water Colors and Prints were : Adolf Dehn, Albert Gold, Xavier Gongal cz,
Stanley William Hayter, W. Emerton Hoitland and Martin Jacks on; for Mini atures :
Agnes Allen, Marguerite Cariss, Harry L. Johnson, John Lear , Jr. , e~d Robert Che ston
Smith.
As is customary, the exhibitions ar e hold i n collabora tton with the Philadel phi.a Wat er
Color Club and the Pennsylvania Soci ety of Mj.niaturc Painters .
Gallery Talks have been scheduled by the Fellowship of the Academy a s f ollows:
Nov. 3 - John W. McCoy ; Nov . 10 - Albert Gold; Nov. 17 - Benton Spruancc; Nov . 22 James Ki rk Merrick ; De c. 1 - Dorothy Grafly.
Programs of r e corded music will be held every Friday from 12 :30 to 1: 20 P. M. Tho
broadcasts of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra will bo channel ed into t he
gallerie s every Sunday from 3 to 4:30 p . M. The se programs will ' cont inue thr ough t he
wint er and spri ng .
In the Philadelphi a Artists' Gallery during the poriod of the "Annual" will be oil
