Jascha Brodsky and Vladimir Sokoloff
in Sonata Recital
Jascha Brodsky, violinist, and Vladimir Sokoloff, pianist, will be
presented in a sonata recital at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts on
Friday evening, January 27th, at 8:30 o'clock, in the following program:
Sonata in D • • . •
Duo in A, Opus 162
Sonata, Opus 21 •
Sonata in G minor
Vivaldi-Respighi
. . · Schubert
. . . • Dohnanyi
. . • Zimbalist
This will be the first public performance in Philadelphia of Mr . Zimbalist's Sonata.
It has been several seasons since Mr. Brodsky last appeared in a Pennsylvania
Academy concert.
He has long been well known as the first violinist of the world-
famous Curtis Quartet.
He is also a member of the faculty of The Curtis Institute
of MuSic, and head of the violin department of the New School of Music.
A native
of Russia, he was a pupil of Ysaye, and toured most of Europe as recitalist and
orchestra soloist before coming to America some years ago.
Mr. Sokoloff, director of this series, is well known to its audiences, as well
as in the musical life of the City.
Current at the time will be the Academy's 156th Annual Exhibition - American
Water Colors, Prints, Drawings.
This series of music events is made free to the public through the collaboration
of the Recording Industries' Trust Funds, in cooperation with Local 77, American
Federation of Musicians, and the Fredric R. Mann Foundation.
The doors will open at 7:30.
The public is invited.

According to Joseph T. Fraser, Jr., Director of the Academy, the Jury registered
considerable enthusiasm not only for the invited work but for that which was submitted to them for selection. If there is anyone category that excels above the
others, it may be that of drawing.
Here the impression created on the Jury was so
great that a special prize of $100 was made available from the institution's
Directors' Fund, where none had been advertised.
Again this year the exhibition
is exceedingly catholic in its coverage, with, if anything, a larger percentage of
representational work than in preceding ~ars when abstractions seemed to predominate. The delight of the gallery Visitor, believes Mr. Fraser, is further guaranteed
by the inclusion of groups of invited work (from 6 to 12 examples by an artist) which
gives an added opportunity to evaluate his work.
The Academy has announced a purchase fund of up to $2000.00 to acquire work for its
permanent collection.
Purchases will be announced during the exhibition.

Fund Established at Pennsylvania Acad9Ii1.y
of the Fine Arts in Memory of Leo Asbell
A new source of income for purchases to further enrich the collections of
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is announced by the institution's
director, Joseph T. Fraser, Jr.
A group of friends of the late Leo Asbell have contributed over $3000 to
establish a fund to be known as the Leo Asbell Memorial Fund, and administered
Py the Acad~~ for the purchase of original drawings
qy
American artists for the
Academy's permanent collection.
The Fund is too new to make income available for the 156th Annual
dedicated to
~Jater
~hibition,
colors, prints, and drawings, and current at the Academy through
Februar y 26th, but it will make purchases possible annually after this year.
Mr. Asbell, a member of the Bar, at the time of his death was Vice-President
of the investment firm of Charles A. Taggart and Company.
His deep interest in
art, and his warm and enthusiastic friendship for the artist led his friends to
feel that this was a most appropriate way to honor and perpetuate his memory.
He 'Was born in 1911 and died in November 1960.

PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY TO EXHIBIT
ITS ENTIRE IAMBERT COLLECTION
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' Lambert Collection, consisting of 301 oil
paintings, watercolors, drawings and prints by American artists, will be shown in
its entirety for the first time, at the Academy's galleries, Broad and Cherry
Streets, October 10 through November 8.
One of the unique provisions set forth in John Lambert's 'Hill, when he bequeathed
$30,000 to the Academy in 1907 to establish the Lambert Fund, was the codicil stating, "the jury should, as far as possible, designate pictures by younger artists
who have not yet made standard reputations, always chOOSing pictures of merit."
Accordingly, many noted American artists are represented in the collection by works
purchased early in their careers: Edward Hopper's "Apartment Houses" purchased in
1925, Stuart Davis ("Table With Pipe" 1930), Charles Burchfield ("Hilltop at High
Noon" 1928), Franklin Watkins ("Negro" 1931), Preston Dickinson ("Still Life" 1925),
Arthur Carles, Jr. ('!An Actress As Cleopatra" 1915), Morris Kantor C'Sailing" 1930),
Abraham Rattner (liThe French Flag" 1929), and reon Kroll ("Basque Landscape" 1915).
The Lambert Fund purchases are selected during the Academy's Annual Exhibition of
",orks by American artists. The jury still attempts to choose contemporary artists
who have not yet achieved world acclaim, although artists have been selected who had
already "made their reputations I' •
Some of the contemporary artists purchased in recent years include: Antonio
Fransconi, Lee Gatch, Xavier Gonzalez, Rico leBrun, Jack revine, Horace Pippin,
Dong Kingman, Henry Varum Poor, Hobson Pittman, Raphael Soyer and Marl{, Tobey.
John Lambert, a Philadelphia portrait painter who lived in Jenkintown, was born
March 10, 1861. He pursued his art studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts (1878, 1885-86), the Art Students League, New York, and the Merson in Paris.
His oil painting, "The Actor", although not a Lambert Fund purchase, will be shown
with the collection during the current exhibit.
The original bequest has increased in value during the years, and today the principal
is in excess of $52,000. It has enabled the Academy to purchase for its permanent
collection, works by 292 American artists whose work offer a commentary un art in
America since 1913, when the first Lambert purchases were made.
The most recent acquisitions, made in 1960, were Marca-Relli's "The Hurdle", Maurice
Brovm's "Room", David G. Peases· "Firecracker Over Villas", F.edda Sternes' "Roads
No.6" and William Kienbusch' s "Coast Rocks, Flint Island".
