FIRST 1977 EXHIBITION OPENS AT PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
On
Friday, January 14, "Where Liberty Dwells: 19th-Century Art by
the American People" will open to the publ ic at The Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts, Broad & Cherry Sts . in Philadelphia.
The first major
folk art exhibition ever at the Academy, 72 paintings from the collection
of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Ti110u will be on view through February 20.
"The work is fun to look at," says Frank H. Goodyear, Jr., Curator
of the Academy.
Variety and extraordinary accomplishment by untrained
American artists appear in the portraits, illuminations, taufscheins,
and still lifes comprising the exhibition .
Friederich Krebs' watercolor
of the King of Prussia on his horse and John Rasmussen's "Berks County
Almshouse", painted in oil on zinc in 1880, may strike a familiar note
with Pennsylvanians.
Portraits of Mr. and Mrs . Titcomb, by New Englander
A. Ellis, form a grumpy but memorable pair .
And Solon Newman's "Circus
Chariot", of colored inks, watercolor, and gold paint on paper, will
ignite the imagination of persons of all ages .
Best-known artists represented are Ammi Phillips, William Matthew
Prior, Erastus Salisbury Field, and Ralph Eleazer Whiteside Earl.
Perhaps lesser known are Zedekiah Belknap, John Shove, and Sturtevant
Hamblen.
Peter Ti1lou, of Litchfield, Conn., has been collecting art since
a teen-ager.
Originally from Buffalo, N.Y., Ti1lou developed his tastes
and knowledge of American art during youth and as a student at Ohio

Wesleyan University.
He writes, "With a deep appreciation and personal
affection for American folk paintings I have consciously acquired works
which I feel are of high quality and representative of the artistic
excellence of this branch of our American art tradition.
Naturally there
are paintings included in our collection purely for their humor, charm
and imaginative qualities."
Goodyear comments on "Where Liberty Dwells": "It may seem strange
to have a folk art exhibition at the Academy, where artists work to
learn, among other things, the fundamentals of art.
Such fundamentals,
principles of art or rules (call them what you will) were never learned,
or only partially learned, by the many artists represented in the Tillou
collection.
And yet these artists - honest and direct, personal and
loving, charmingly decorative - elicit strong human responses.
In the context of an Academy setting, the Tillou collection raises
the question: why can a work of art made by an untrained person be of
greater esthetic merit than one made by a professional artist?
It
leaves us wondering what qualities determine artistic greatness."
"Where Liberty Dwells" may be seen Tuesday-Saturday from 10 to 5,
and on Sunday from 1 to 5.
Free to members, general admission is $1;
students, children under 12, and senior citizens are admitted for
Guided tours weekdays at 10:30, 12, 1:30.

EXHIBITION BY LOCAL ARTISTS OPENS
AT PEALE HOUSE GALLERIES
Recent work by Philadelphia-based artists Dennis Will and David
Pease will be on display at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts'
Peale House Galleries, 1811 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, from
January 27 through March 6.
The public is invited to the opening on
Wednesday, January 26, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Will's two and three-dimensional works are "considerations of time
and space relationships," he says.
His three-dimensional constructions
at Peale House are smaller-scale than those in numerous, preceding shows
in this area, and he considers the work in this show as "proposals" for
larger-scale sculpture.
Will uses wood, metal, or other materials to
create volumes on the human, architectural, and environmental scales.
In Philadelphia since 1968, he has taught Design at Drexel University
since then.
Many of Pease's
pa~ntings
at Peale House are "postcard" paintings.
He characterizes his work as "very American" in that it deals with his
travels and the ways in which he remembers them.
Pease, whose work is
part of several local collections, considers himself "a person who
assembles things.
I'm very interested in maps and diagrams as means
of conveying information.
This shows in my paintings."
Pease is
Chairman of the Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture Department at Tyler
School .of Art, Temple University.
Admission to Peale House Galleries is free.
Hours are Tuesday-
Saturday 10 to 5, Sunday 1 to 5.

AMERICAN EXPATRIATES EXHIBITION OPENS
AT PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
"American Expatriate Painters of the Late 19th Century", a
traveling exhibition of 57 oil paintings, will be on view at The
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from February 4 through March 20,
1977.
Many
once-r~nowned
American artists are newly re-discovered in
this scholarly exhibition, which explores the character of late 19thcentury painting.
The selection of artists emphasizes those who began their careers
abroad in the late 1870's , and who were active in Europe during the
1880's.
Almost 40 painters are represented, including Sarah Dodson (1847-
1906), Elizabeth Nourse (1860-1938), Carl Gutherz (1844-1907), and Charles
Pearce (1851-1914); as well as the better-known Mary Cassatt (1844-1926),
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), James Whistler (1834-1903), and Henry O.
Tanner (1859-1937).
Frank H. Goodyear, Jr., Curator of the Pennsylvania
Academy, notes, "The artists in this exhibition share little in cornmon
other than they were Americans who spent a good portion of their mature
years living abroad.
European in origin.
In style and subject matter the work is heavily
There is very little about it that is American."
According to Michael Quick, who organized the exhibition, this show
is the first comprehensive survey of the American expatriate painters
movement since the publication in 1890 of G. W. Sheldon's Recent Ideals
of American
Art~
Quick writes , "It is the first modern attempt to
explore the nature and the causes" of this movement.
Formerly of the
Dayton Art Institute, Quick is now with the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art.

Expatriates at Academy
page 2 of 2
A large number of the best expatriate artists were native to
Philadelphia, and it is therefore quite appropriate for the Pennsylvania
Academy to be hosting this exhibition.
As Goodyear comments, "Not only
did the Academy encourage these artists through its Annual Exhibitions
during the late 19th century, but today, ours is the finest museum
collection of these expatriate artists."
Three Academy-owned paintings
figure in the show: Gari Melchers' "The Skaters", Alexander Harrison's
"The Wave", and
William
Picknell' s "On the Borders of the Marsh".
Henry
O. Tanner, Mary Cassatt, Edwin Austin Abbey, and others in the show
studied at the Academy.
Already seen at The Dayton Art Institute, the show will move to
the Los Angeles County Museum of Art after it closes at the Academy
on March 20th.
A catalogue of the exhibition ($10) is available at the Museum
Shop, located on the ground floor of the Museum at Broad and Cherrry
Streets in Philadelphia.
Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday
10 to 5, Sunday from 1 to 5.
Regularly-scheduled guided tours are given
on weekdays at 10:30, 12, and 1:30.
Free to members, general admission
is $1; children under 12, students, and senior citizens (with I.D.)
are admitted for 50 cents.

HENRY HOTZ, JR. RETIRES
AS DEAN OF ACADEMY SCHOOL
Henry Hotz, Jr. recently retired as Dean of the School of the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Hotz was honored at the Annual
Dinner of the Board of Trustees on February 17th.
Richard J. Boyle,
Academy Director, presented him that evening with a Certificate for his
total of eleven and a half years of service to the Academy.
Born in Lansdowne of musical parents, Hotz was graduated from
Haverford College in 1934 with a B.S. in Economics.
He then studied at
the Academy, where he won a Cresson Traveling Scholarship, until 1938.
The same year he became "Curator" (the equivalent of Dean) of both the
School in Philadelphia and the Summer School in Chester Springs.
Hotz was commissioned in the Navy.
In 1942
He went to Officers Training School
at Harvard, and was primarily involved in ship camouflage work in the
South Pacific during the war.
Hotz began as a color critic at Curtis Publishing Co. shortly after
being granted terminal leave from the Navy in 1945.
While at Curtis,
publishers of "Saturday Evening Post," "Holiday", "Ladies Home Journal",
"Country Gentleman", and "Jack & Jill", he became assistant in the
Quality Control Department.
He moved on to become a senior staff member
and, for the last several years until 1969, Manager of the Engraving
Division.
Upon the disbandment of the division, he accepted the offer of then
Academy Director Joseph T. Fraser to become Dean of the Academy School.
"It was a very attractive prospect for me," says he, "for I'd enjoyed
-MORE-
Henry Hotz, Jr. Retires
page 2 of 2
my experiences at the Academy in every respect."
During the Academy's
recent restoration Hotz supervised the School's move to temporary
quarters in the city, as well as the return to the Academy buildings
this past fall.
Regarding the School, Hotz says, "I think the freedom that exists in
our one-to-one method and the de-emphasis we place on grades are good
and necessary things."
He adds, "An enlarged endowment is a vital
necessity for the irrunediate future."
Included in a statement written by students about "Uncle Henry" Hotz
are the words, "We feel he is largely responsible for creating an
atmosphere that makes it possible, for each student, to structure a
schedule most beneficial to his or her own needs.
Because he himself
was a painter and a student at the Academy, he has an understanding of
what it is to be an artist and art student.
This has made him invaluable."
Hotz has resided in Media with his wife, Eloise, for more than 30
years, and has taught evening classes at the local high school and at
Wallingford Art Center.
Regarding his retirement, he says, "I'm enjoying
the release from responsibility .
I don't feel life is over, but I have
no burning crosses to bear or raise."
He continues, "I don't know -
I'm hoping to start to paint and draw again.
I may do some travelling
to see some far-away friends."
Arthur De Costa, a member of the Academy Faculty, is replacing Henry
Hotz as interim Dean until a new Dean is named.

EDITH NEFF & EILEEN GOODMAN
OPEN AT PEALE HOUSE GALLERIES
An exhibition of works by painters Edith Neff and Eileen Goodman
will be shown at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' Peale
House Galleries, 1811 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, from March 17
through April 24, 1977.
The opening reception will take place on
Wednesday, March 16, from 5 to 7 PM.
Edith Neff's recent work, consisting of seven large paintings
as well as several pencil drawings and pastels, is very explicit in
its sharpness of detail.
Her realistic figures are depicted primarily
outdoors in relaxed groupings, one or several figures seeming to stare
out at the painter.
Both human beings and their settings are portrayed
with equal, strong clarity.
Ms. Neff writes, "The situations in my paintings are imaginary;
however, the elements out of which I make up the paintings all existed
at one time as they appear."
Of her recent work she says, "While my
subject matter has grown more abstracted, my sense of the components'
quality has become more specific or concrete ••. I try to make everything
as real as possible."
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Ms. Neff has held several onewoman exhibitions in Philadelphia and the surrounding area, her most
recent group show having been in Los Angeles in February of this year.
Currently she lectures at the Philadelphia College of Art, where
she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1965.
Eileen Goodman's sixteen paintings and sixteen drawings are mostly

still lifes of objects that are familiar to her; i,e., "White Roses",
"Scattered Strawberries", "Fruit, Vegetables, Chalk", and "Boxes
with a Jewel and an Indian Bead Purse".
They are usually seen from
above by the painter, and the objects' arrangement seems to become
more random in her recent work.
Ms. Goodman says, "The way light
and shadow define and dramatize these commonplace objects has a
relationship and association with time that is both significant and
mysterious to me."
A feeling of movement in the paintings is created
by the artist's evident brushstroke and painterly surface.
Born in Atlantic City and raised in Montclair, N.J., Ms. Goodman
holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Temple University, and she
has taught since 1958 at the Philadelphia College of Art.
She has
participated in numerous group exhibitions, the most recent being a
Bicentennial Drawing Show at Beaver College.
Admission to Peale House Galleries is free and open to the public.
The Galleries are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 to 5, and on
Sunday from 1 to 5.

Clement E. Conger, White House Curator, visited the Academy, other
institutions, and private collections late last winter to choose appropriate
paintings for the White House.
Immediately following the Board of Trustees' approval of the loan,
Richard J. Boyle, Academy Director, commented, "I think it is fitting that
the oldest art institution in the United
House.
Stat~s
should lend to the White

the person who designed President Carter's Inaugural Medal, Mr. Julian
Harris, is a former Academy student."

River" by A.H. Wyant, "The Skaters" by Gari Melchers, "The Crimson Rambler"
by Philip Hale, "Still Life With Bird Cage" by Franklin Watkins,
"Conestoga Creek and Lancaster" by Jacob Eichholtz, "New Hope" by Edward
Redfield, and "On the Susquehanna Near Harrisburgh" by Thomas Doughty.
Beginning with Gilbert
Stuart ~ s
portrait of "Dolley Madison", the
Pennsylvania Academy has been lending artworks to the White House and the
State Department since 1970.
"Dolley Madison" hangs in the Red Room and
is an integral part of White House tours.
c
Four other paintings from the
Academy collection currently are on loan there.

Siniawsky, Regional Representative for Governor Milton J. Shapp,
presented the awards at a ceremony which marked the opening of the
Academy's 75th Annual Student Exhibition.
The Pennsylvania Academy established these awards to honor the
Offices of the Mayor of Philadelphia and of the Governor of Pennsylvania
in recognition of the importance of the City of Philadelphia as a
cultural center and of the contribution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
to the arts in America.
They are funded by two anonymous individuals.
These annual awards, in the sum of $1,000 each, are for graduating
students who have shown outstanding accomplishment in the fine arts.
Award winners are chosen by Academy faculty on the basis of merit, and
in anticipation of their future contribution to the community through
their art.
The awards provide practical and moral encouragement to the
outstanding graduates as they enter the full-time professional art world.
The 75th Annual Student Exhibition, including the work of many
Academy prize and scholarship winners, will be on display through
Sunday, May 29th.

ACADEMY RECEIVES
NATIONAL TRUST AWARD
The National Trust for Historic Preservation awarded
the David E. Finley Award to the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts.
Richard J. Boyle, Academy Director, accepted
the award, which was given "for the exemplary restoration
by Hyman Myers of this splendid Furness building", in
Washington early in May.
First opened in 1876, the Pennsylvania Academy was
restored for the Bicentennial and re-opened in April of 1976.
Hyman Myers, of Day and Zimmermann As sociates and a
specialist in the architecture of Philadelphian Frank Furness,
was architect of the restoration project.
Named for the founder and first chairman of the
National Trust, the four Finley award recipients this year
were chosen from among 50 candidates.
Consisting of a
trophy and certificate, the latter states, "(The restoration)
was achieved with no major changes in Furness's design.
Indeed, his spirit lives again in the building.
The
restoration is a significant step in the reevaluation of
America's Victorian architecture."

"EIGHT CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN REALISTS"
AT PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS
"Eight Contemporary American Realists", a traveling exhibition
of 48 pieces of painting and sculpture, will be on view at the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from September 16 through
October 30.
The artists are Janet Fish, Sidney Goodman, Duane
Hanson, Alfred Leslie, Philip Pearlstein, Stephen Posen, Joseph
Raffael, and Neil Welliver.
The first major exhibition of contemporary realistic art shown
in Philadelphia in recent years, it is also the first major exhibition
of contemporary art organized by the Pennsylvania Academy since its
Andrew Wyeth exhibition in 1966.
And it is particularly appropriate
to the Academy since the current realist revival, which embodies the
avant-garde in art today, should be considered in light of the realist
tradition in American art that was born and nurtured at the
Pennsylvania Academy through such masters as Eakins, Beaux, Chase,
and many others who were students, exhibitors, or instructors there.
"Eight Contemporary American Realists" presents the main trends
of the current realist revival; it does not attempt to survey the full
range of contemporary realism, which is extremely diverse and complex,
but rather to show in depth the recent work of eight realist artists.
A tentative definition of today's realism might be art that is
truthful, objective, impartial, and that is distinctly of, and about,
its times.
"It is 'democracy in art'''~ writes Frank H. Goodyear, Jr.,
-M 0 R E-
Realists, p. 2.
Academy Curator and organizer of the exhibition, "where the full
range of American life is paraded across the canvas or modeled in
fiberglass."
Mr . Goodyear continues,
Realism in the '40,' s and '50' s was a dirty word in contem~orary
art circles.
It was WPA, retarded, out.
In the late '70 s,
realism has e xperienced a renaissance; some of America's finest
painters and sculptors work in a realist style. They may not
be after the subject, but they have chosen realism as a way to
e xpress their ideas about art.
The ei ght artists were born, studied, or work throughout the
United States.

AT PEALE HOUSE GALLERIES
An exhibition of paintings by Val erie Jaudon and drawings by
Don Lantzy will be on view at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts' Peale House Galleries from September 22 through October 23.
The opening reception will take place on Tuesday, September 20,
from 5 to 7 p . m.
Located at 1811 Chestnut Street, admission to
Peale House Galleries is free.
Valerie Jaudon's "pattern paintings " reveal her interest in
"non-western art, architecture, and ornament", particularly Islamic
,decoration and Celtic interlace.
Her large canvases of interlocking
circles, rectangles, and other geometric shapes are painted primarily
in a monochrome color on plain canvas.
The artist's hand-painted
designs are simultaneously taut and serene .
Ms. Jaudon's most recent commission, completed last August,
was the ceiling painting of the I NA buildi ng in Philadelphia,
designed by Romaldo Giurgola .
Born in Greenville, Mississippi, in
1945, Ms. Jaudon attended Mississippi State College for Women,
Memphis Art Academy, University of the Americas in Mexico City, and
St. Martins School of Art in London.
She now l ives and works in
New York City.
Delicate gouache and graphite drawings by Don Lantzy lead us into
miniature abstract worlds where spirals, rods, semi-circles, arrows,
- M 0 R E -
Jaudon & Lantzy at Peale House, p.2.
triangles, and other forms populate a background of tiny, separated
dots.
His pastel colors, unexpected borders and cut-off points
create beautiful images that recall maps or microscopic slides
to the viewer's mind.
Gentle and subtle, Lantzy's drawings
must be attentively viewed in order to appreciate their careful
control and balance.
Born in 1942 in Wilmington, Delaware, Lantzy is Associate
Professor and Associate Dean of Art at Tyler School of Art of
Temple University, where he obtained his Master's degree in Fine
Arts in 1969.
He has held many one-man exhibitions in the
Philadelphia area, and his work is part of several local collections.

"RECENT ACQUISITIONS" OPENS AT
PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY
"The Last 3 Years: A Selection of Recent Acquisitions" will be
open to the public at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts from
Friday , January 13 through April 19.
This exhibition of 45 works of
art includes oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, preparatory
sketches, tapestries, and a stained glass window.
Anshutz, Calder ,
Gifford , Havard, Henri, Kline , Lafarge , Leslie, Parrish, Posen,
Roesen, Savage , Sloan and Welliver are among the artists represented,
and 11 of the 40 exhibitors are alive today.
In speaking of additions to the Academy Collection, begun in 1806
and generall y recognized as one of the three best collections of
American painting and sculpture in the wo rld, Frank H. Goody ear, Jr.,
Academy Curator , says, "Current collecting goals are partially
determined by what has corne before and b y wha t the institution stands
f o r . . . We tr y to be flexible in our thinking.
Our first questi on is
alway s about artistic e x cellence - is the work of subst a ntial
aes t hetic merit . . . Our aim, how e ver , is not simpl y to build an
enc y clop e dic coll e ction of America n art (althou g h t his ma y happen) ;
it i s ra t her to reco g ni z e th e major American artistic achie v ement s
wi th in the contex t of our own histor y and region . "
A s ampling of the works o n di s pla y includes William Penn's Treat y
wit h the Indian s b y Edward Savag e .
Ex hibited ne x t to Be njamin West's

understand something about the dissemination of pictorial images in
18th and 19th century America.
A substantial gift of works by the
Hudson River School includes landscapes by Worthington Whittredge,
Sanford Gifford, David Johnson, John Frederick Kensett, Jasper Cropsey
and Alexander Wyant,
by Whittredge.
as well as a rare watercolor flower still life
The two most important additions to the Academy's late
19th-century holdings are opalescent stained glass windows (1884) by
John Lafarge from the Gregory Grover house in Canton, Massachusetts.
Robert Henri studied at the Academy School, and his Ruth St.
Denis in the Peacock Dance (1919) occupies a very welcome place in
this exhibition.
This painting depicts the actress Ruth St. Denis
being transformed from a peacock into a Rajah's dancer, in accordance
with the eastern Indian legend on which the dance was based.
In the words of Mr. -Goodyear, "In expending our monies on
contemporary art works, the Academy's policy has been to acquire major
works (this means we buy -fewer total pieces) · by artists of the 1970' s
whose work in our opinion, is of the highest quality."
Examples of
this policy which the Academy is pleased to display in the current
show are Alfred Leslie's James Tate and Liselott Tate, Stephen Posen's
Variations on a Millstone, Janet Fish's Yellow Goblets and James
Havard's Ghost Dance Shirt.
Since the vast majority of acquisitions are made through the
generosity of donors, the Academy offers its warmest thanks to
those individuals and public and private agencies who made this
exhibition possible.
"Each addition to the collection is a statement
of implied trust, of our own connoisseurship and of, in the case of
contemporary art, our strong belief in the continuing tradition of
