The exhibition is made up of 426 works - 296 paintings and 130 sculptures - of which
245 were invited. The remaining 181 were selected by the painting and sculpture
juries each meeting once in Philadelphia and New York City. A total of 2185 were
submitted to those meetings. Artists from 31 states are represented. Since the
Academy chooses to remain loyal to the principle of selecting part of its annual
exhibitions through the jury system, it is encouraging to observe that three prizes
and one honorable mention went to juried work, One artist had the distinction of
winning two awards.
A sum of $7500 will be available for purchases from the exhibition for the Academy's
permanent collection. These will be made and anr~unced before March 1st.
The Juries selecting the exhibition included: Peppino Mangravite, chairman, Peter
Blume and stuart Davis (painting); William Zorach, chairman, Lulu DubIe and Henry
Kreis (sculpture).
An innovation this year will be a program daily every half-hour in Gallery I, made
up of color slides and a recording of statements by jury members and the Academy's
Director concerning the reasons for the exhibition, how it was assembled, et cetera.
Also discussed will be some of the works in the collection - especially the prize
winners - by prominent local artists. The purpose is to help the layman keep up
with the various trends in contempora.ry art which he may find it difficult to understand because of the growing personal cparacter of the work, and their own lack of
sufficient time and experience to follow those trends.
Meet the Artist evenings have been scheduled for Tuesde.ys, February 3 and 17 at 8:30,
presenting Vaclav Vytlacil and Peter Bl~e (painters) respectively.
II'" Gallery:' Talks will be given on Thursday afternoons at 2 ~30 as follows:
January 29th Benton Spruancej February 5th, Harry Rosinj 12th, Hobson Pitman; 19th, Dorothy Grafly;

Mr. george - Could you not make use of all or part of the following, put
into your own language, of course? EZS
Scarcely an annual exhibition comes to The Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts without some one among the distinguished artists who se
works are invited to be shown passing away before the show opens.
This year two great Ame ricans - each of vrhomwas truly the dean
of his particular field of art , - died before the opening of the 51st Annual
Exhibition of Water Colors and Prints currently at the .Academy through
November 22nd.
We refer to Jo hn Marin, water colorist, and John Taylor
Arms, etcher.
Marin died on October 1st at 80.
Part of his art education was
had at t rle Academy.
Once called a modernist, he replied; "1 belong to no
the
ism.
I haven't/time." • • • but "an artist lOuSt have a seeing of his own
choosing. "
According to a poll once taken among critics, he was unanimousl y
called America 'S No.1 Master.
Arms died on October 13th at 67.
He was first an architect and
l ater became the leader of the American school of architectural etchers.
Jo seph T. Fraser, J-r., Director of the Academy tells us thiit MD • •,J\rms was
invited to give a demonstration of the making of an etching by the Fellowship
of the Academy on November 15, 1945.
After he had drawn and efched the
plate and ma.de a print from it in two and a half hours, he asked iJ anyone
would like to have a print.
'lhe response was naturally immediate and
unanimous, so he personally sent a copy direct to each one ' present, .
And ,
more than that, he had the copper pl ate gold-pl ated, in honor:., 'o:t; tl?-e oc casion,
and presented it to the Academy.
