on March 7th and continue through April 14th. Running concurrently with the Rauschenberg Exhibition vall be a Memorial Exhibition of the paintings of Philadelphia artist, James E. Brewton whose work was prematurely terminated by his death last year
at the age of 36. His artistic output echoes the experimental nature of Rauschenbergls
work.
The Rauschenberg Exhibition will contain 25 items, including several of his
famous "combine" paintings and drawings, lithographs, oil paintings, 3-dimensional
mixed media, and four laree framed posters, duplicates of which may be ordered;

one~-man
show in
1951 at The Art Students League. Since that year, he has sienificantly participated
in a rapid succession of one-ma.."'1 and major group shows in Amsterdam, Vienna, London,
Salzburg, Yugoslavia, Florence, Rome, and in
museu~s
and galleries throughout the
United States.
The Exhibition of Rauschenberg's works at The Peale House Galleries will
exemplify what Dean Swanson, Associate Curator of the Walker Art Center has said
of this ever-eX'?erimenting American artist: llRauschenberg's art implies a gratuitutous
acceptance of our total environment".Rauschenberg has commented, " I think a picture is more like the real world when it is made out of the real world"( Time, July
3,1964).
James Brewton studied at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where he
received many awards and prizes including the importa.."'1t J. Henry Schiedt Memorial
Prize for THE SUICIDE OF JUDAS ( now in the Academy's PerrnanenkCol1ection), which
he entered in the 1959 national biennial exhibition of American painting and sculpture.
This marked the beginning of his brief, but brilliant career as an artist who "would
rather innovate than live in the comfort of a manner".

He also studied at the Ruskin
Brewton's works are in the
permanent collections of Friends' Central School, The Philadelphia Museum of Art,

HOBSON PITTMAN RECEIVES NORTH CAROLINA'S HIGHEST AWARD
Hobson Pittman, noted painter and instructor at the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts, was recently honored by his native State of North Carolina.
He was one of five recipients of the North Carolina Awards, which were presented
at a dinner, held at the Sheraton-Sir Walter Hotel in Raleigh, N.C., May 8th.
Established in 1961, these annual awards are presented to former North Carolina
citizens for notable accomplishments in the fields of scholarship, the fine arts,
research, and public service.
Mr. Pittman received the North Carolina Award in
fine arts "for his creative achievements in painting and teaching others to paint".
First presented by the Governor in 1964, the North Carolina Award is sometimes known as the "Nobel Prize of North Carolina". It is a gold medal made to be
worn around the neck on a distinctive ribbon, and was designed by the distinguished
sculptor, the late Paul Manship.
One side of the Medal portrays a sculptured concept
of the Great Seal of North Carolina; on the other side is a scroll enclosed with
these words: "Achievement is man's mark of greatness".
The purpose of the award as stated in the 1961 statute is to" inspire others
to emulate" the achievements it honors.
It is given only for distinguished service
which brings national and international renOvffi to the State.
The four other 196 8 recipients of the North Carolina Award are: Robert Lee
Humber for public service, Vermont Connecticut Royster for literature, Charles
Phillips Russell for literature, and Stanley G. Stephens for scientific research.

Coverage of Academy Events
For 1968-1969
1.
Local radio stations will be contacted via news releases for ea ch exhibition
at the Academy and Peale House Galleries.
Special announcements prepared,and requests made that they be aired on "Free Time"
2.
TV Coverage: Best programs for the art world will probably be Char~el 12 and
Channel 29. I have contacted both of these places, and stepts are being taken
to arrange shows for t~e fall. Channel 29 is interested in interviewing students,
Academy instructors, and artists whose work is on eL~ibition at Peale house or
Broad and Cherry. Channel 12 will do filming based on ideas which 1 present to
them.
Major News Stations-- KYItJ, WCAU, WFIL, have been contacted both by phone and
by news releases; the results have not been very good { KJVl did come for the
Rauschenberg, which was a "nfu'lle" exhibi tion anyway r~ \'I'CAU came, and filmed
the Kite Festival. For the most part these TV Stations are interested in City
News-- Crime~ po~tics, etc. not the arts. For TV coverage we must depend on
sources like Chfu~el 12 and Channel 29.
'C'
(Note: WFIL-TV's program, "The World Around Usl! has had two of our students
appear on t he show this past winter and spring * Nick Feher and Charles Parks.
It is a very fast moving program, and demands much of the participants. It will
be a good source of publicity as long as we can provide the people they request
for the daily show.)

PENNSYLVAlITA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS ACQUIRES FOURTH CECILIA BEAUX PORTRAIT
Philadelphia, Pa. -- The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has recently
acquired its fourth Cecilia Beaux portrait, "MrS. Mary Rodman Fox, II from the
granddaughter of the sitter, Mrs. Edward M. Cheston of Ambler, Pa.
Painted in
1892, the work has been on indefinite loan to the Academy since 1934. Mrs.
was the wife of Samuel N. Fox of Philadelphia and Foxburg, Pa.
~ox
The portrait is
important because it is representative of Cecilia Beaux's ability to unite
technical skill with a delicate rendering of the sitter's personality.
Born in Philadelphia in 1855, Cecilia Beaux studied at the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, and later at the Julian and Lazar Schools in Paris.
From 1895 through 1916 she taught at the Academy.
Celebrated for her unique artistic talents , Cecilia Beaux received a
multi tude of awards and medals beginning in 1885 when she was the recipient of
the Academy's Mary Smith Prize.
On
five other occasions, the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts honored Miss Beaux--three additional Mary Smith Prizes
(1887,1891, 1892), The Gold Medal of Honor (1898) , and The Joseph E. Temple Gold
Medal (1900).
Cecilia Beaux was the recipient of numerous other medals, including The
Logan Medal of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Gold Medal of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters (1926), The Gold Medal of the American Academy A~t
League, and in 1942, the year of her death she received The Gold Medal of the
National Institute of Arts and Letters.

The gold medals which Cecilia Beaux received during her life in recognition
of her work as a portrait painter have been donated to the Academy by Miss
D~auxls
Tesiduary legatees and converted into a fund, the income of vThich provides an
annual memorial prize given for the best portrait painted during a school year by
a student of the Academy.
The Cecilia Beaux Memorial Prize WaS first awarded
in 1946.
The first and only woman ever to win first prize in a Carnegie International
Exhibition, Cecilia Beaux was the only woman among five artists commissioned to
execute the official portraits of World War 't heroes.
The portraits of C'3J:'dj.ne.l
l-iercier J Georges Clemenceau, and Admiral Sir David Beatty were done by this
r emarkable woman.
Cecilia Beaux's works are contained in the permanent collections of major
European and American museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Corc oran Gallery, the Boston Art Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, and the
"'1b:i. tney Museum of American Art, as well as the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts.

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts · Broad & Cherry Streets , Philadelphia, Pa. 19102 • LO 4 -0219
The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Philadelphia Museum of Art
are seeking the best way to show American art in Philadelphia as the nation
approaches its bicentennial year and as the eyes of our mm country and the
world are focused upon Philadelphia as a birthplace of the nation.
The two
institutions have therefore created special committees to explore the best
solution of the problem.
One specific proposal for combining the resources of the two institutions
has been made by John W. Merriam, a member of the Academy1s Board of Directors,
to'
at a meeting with the Board last May 13th.
He proposed to convert the lower
floors of the Curtis Building, 6th and Walnut Streets, which he had purchased
earlier in the spring, into a museum of American art, to contain collections
which would be lent by the two art museums and, perhaps, other institutions
within the City of Philadelphia.
The two committees , composed of Board members and officers of both
institutions, conducted a thorough study of the Curtis Building during the
summer, looking into the feasibility of converting the lower floors into
galleries for the exhibition of their masterpieces of American art.
The find-
ings of the two cOmmittees , which met both separately and jointly, were that
the Curtis Building, even with extensive and very costly alterations , would
not provide as good exhibition space as that which is presently available in
the two museums.
(~
Their final decision was based on several factors:
1.
The recommendations of a prominent architect and a leading engineering
firm that the Building is not adequate in its present condition for an
art museum.
2.
The major renovations necessary to convert the once-factory area on the
first and second floors would be costly with a doubtful result.
3.
Many of the larger works of art cannot be installed on the ground floor
under the mezzanine and while an area with higher ceilings could be built
farther back in the center of the building, this location would make it
impossible to show the collections in an orderly sequence.
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' committee:
James M. Large, Vice-President and head of the committee
William H. S. Wells
Henry S. McNeil
Alfred Zantzinger

STIMSON SCULPTURE PRIZE IS AWARDED TO THIRD YEAR STUDENT
AT THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEfvlY OF THE FINE ARTS
PHILADELPHIA, PA.-- The Emma Burnham Stimson Sculpture Prize of $100.00 has
been awarded to Jo-Ann Dumm of Swarthmore, Pa. The annual sculpture Prize, which
is awarded in November, was established in 1917 by Anna Katherine Stimson in
memory of Emma Burnham Stimson for a full-length figure from life in the round,
made during class hours.
This year's recipient has been a student at the
Academy's School for three years. Last year she received first honorable mention
in the Stimson Competition. Judge for the annual sculpture prize was Charles Rudy,
L
nationally-known sculptor who resides in Bicks County, Pa.
Mr. Rudy said that he selected Mi ss Bumm's sculpture out of the 10 other
works entered in the Competition, because IIshe captured the total image of the
model by working the clay
in an all-over fashion. All aspects of the work were
given equal attention as the figure progressed so that the sculpture was developed
11
in an uniform way.
Christopher Parks of Hockessin, Delaware ( near Wilmington, Del.) received
Honorable Mention in the Stimson Sculpture Competition. His father is Charles
Parks the noted sculptor,
wh~
is particularly well-known in this country for his
architectural works and children's portraiture.
Charles Rudy studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under
Charles Grafly, the acclaimed sculptor. The recipient of numerous awards,
C'
including two William Emlen Cresson Memorial European Traveling Scholarships
from the
Academy~
aGuggenbeim Fellowship, and the
Americ~~
Academy of Arts and
Letters Award, Mr. Rudy has been described as one of America's top ~mmission
sculptors. He has executed many architectural works, among the better-kno~m of

TH§§g are: an exterior wall of the Court House of Lehigh County in
Allento~m,
Pa., bronze decorations at the new William Penn Historical Museum in Harrisburg,
the head of Arthur Goldberg, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, the l4-foot
marble statue of Noah on the Bronx Post Office in New York City. He has exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the Carnegie Institute, and other
major museums in this country.
