REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
AND DIRECTOR
The writing of an annual report on the life and progress of this institution is
a very real responsibility. One more chapter of the annals added to the
159 years in our past reminds one of the remarkable and vital something
which has sustained its many executives and artist instructors. It has truly
been uniquely dedicated to American art and artists, and so it continues.
Changes in our officialdom is the first order of such a report. Mrs. Herbert
C. Morris resigned from the Board of Directors in September. This action
was prompted by over-commitments, but with genuine assurances to us of
continued vital interest. She will remain as an active member of the Committee on Collections and Exhibitions. Two new members have joined that
body-Mrs. Bertram D. Coleman in March, and Francis Bosworth in October.
By election in May, Hobson Pittman became the Faculty Representative to the
Board of Directors.
The staff experienced a very real loss in the retirement of Elizabeth Z.
Swenson on the first of June. She had given devoted and invaluable services
for a period of about eighteen years. Responsibilities which had been hers,
because of the marked increase of all Academy activity, have been divided
and new personne-I added.
Mrs. Phyllis K. Bledsoe began her affiliation in January and became Director
of Membership in April. Her first assignment was to take over the ever-growing problems of our complicated membership categories. This department
has had a phenomenal growth as Peale Club became a reality. In June, at
the time George Carroll was no longer the paid administrator of the Progress
Fund, the scope of her activities was broadened to encompass a revivified
fund drive.
Mrs. Emily R. Haines joined the staff in September, in charge of public
relations, and is also serving the Women's Committee as secretary. She also
has organized the seventeenth season of Chamber Music Concerts.
Before drafting this record for 1965, a considerable number of the past
printed Annual Reports were reread. These accounts scarcely reflect the
vast activity and general excellence of the ambitious exhibition programs
accomplished by a very limited professional leadership and our comparatively small staff. The season now being recorded was no exception. The
following are but some of its high spots:
Carrying forward the remarkable tradition, our 160th Annual opened with

7

a Private View at Broad and Cherry Streets on January 20. This was the
year dedicated to water colors, prints, and drawings. This show, never
involving the time, effort, and monies as is true of the oil painting and
sculpture shows, was particularly strong in the print section, reflecting that
great health and diversity of our adventurous artists working in that category. It was also increasingly evident that experimentation is rampant in
all media and pigeonholing of techniques becomes more and more difficult. It was a fine exhibition, very well received, and with a satisfactory
sales' record.
The Fellowship, having supported the parent institution in staging the
Regional Show in the fall of 1964, did not organize their Annual in the
spring of 1965. This opening in the schedule gave opportunity to hang a
larger segment of the Permanent Collection than has been on the gallery
walls for a considerabl·e time except in the summer seasons. This innovation spurred us to give general conservation attention to certain items long
neglected. A large section of the galleries were rearranged for the Student
Competition in May but were rehung to give renewed delight to our many
gallery visitors and with material very worth revaluing.
The most unusual single feature of the year, however, was the memorial
retrospective exhibition of the work of Alfred Bendiner (501 items). Here was
the life work of a very talented and much loved Philadelphian. His drawings, paintings, and prints, beautiful and delightful, and also de·e ply philosophical, drew large audiences and enjoyed a sales' record beyond any
similar event.
Although a full listing of our exhibition schedule is included in this Annual
Report, we must mention, and with justifiable pride, the series of shows in
our galleries at Peale House. The very names will be an indication of excellence. This new field of activity was inaugurated in 1964 with a memorial
show of the paintings of Stuart Davis, and paintings by Ben Kamihira (the
beginning of a succession of one- or two-man shows by members of the
Faculty), followed by Charles Burchfield and Hobson Pittman. The list now
continues with Mary Cassatt, Rico LeBrun, Jimmy Ernst, Hans Hofmann, Conrad Marca-relli, Pierre Soulages, James Brooks; and Walker Hancock, John
McCoy, Walter Stuempfig, Roswell Weidner, Jimmy Lueders, Julian Levi,
Harry Rosin, and John Hanlen.
In the Main Building in December we were rewarded in staging two small
memorial exhibitions of paintings by Mary Townsend Mason and Charles
Morris Young.
With the acquiring of the large property on Chestnut Street, the mlJch-

8

needed school space situation was wonderfully relieved. The expansion has
been gratifying in many ways, but also has brought a diversity of new
responsibilities. An increase in enrollment was a natural development, and
in the fall of the year, the Faculty took formal action to control an overgrowth which might be a hindrance to our long-established fundamental
principle of personal attention to each student. As this report goes to press,
ways are being studied to strengthen our whole school system with emphasis
on maintaining the highest standards for the most gifted.
Peale Club, formally and in gala fashion, opened in February, and the
steady growth in the category of contributing membership to the Academy
has been gratifying indeed. By the close of the year there were 971 members eligible to enjoy its bar and dining room services. A delightful garden
party in June inaugurated still another new and gracious facility. We are
encouraged that the time is not far off when the beneflts enjoyed through
this unusual venture will be of tremendous importance to the social and
flnancial life of the whole institution.
Reporting on the activity in this new aspect of our program we laud the
continued and ever-growing effectiveness of our Women's Committee. They
grace our every social occasion and lend an invaluable he-Ip pouring at our
teas and receptions, and in countless other subtle and effective ways. Their
flnancial aid to a vari-e ty of diverse projects, chiefly with regard to students,
is -of growing importance and tremendously appreciated. One of their particularly rewarding gestures within the year was the overseeing of the
redecorating of the student lounge of Peale House.
Special mention must be made of one Board action which has done much
to better our general staff situation. In Maya Retirement Plan was inaugurated which is exceedingly gratifying to all those presently employed, and
a boon ahead as changes in staff become necessary.
In closing this account, we must be mindful of expressing our gratitude to
the Council of the City of Philadelphia for the continuing of an annual
grant of $25,000. The State of Pennsylvania also continues to give us aid
in a yearly appropriation of $3,000 for which we express our gratitude.
And last, but of utmost importance, is the most sincere tribute to that loyal
and hardworking staff whose day by day services must never go unextolled.

JOSEPH T. FRASER, JR., Director

MEMBERSHIP
In addition to those people whose large donations resulted in their election by the Board of Directors as Fe"ows Patrons or Benefactors for life
the Academy was pleased to welcome 546 new annual subscribers during
1965. New income from this source including those who increased
their membership classification amounted to $65A55.00 as compared to
$18A30.00 in 1964 and $3A60.00 in 1963. This tremendous upswing was
due in large part to the excellent response of the community to the opening
in February of Peale Club l the Academ/s unique satellite at 1819 Chestnut
Street. The privileges of Peale Club are available on an annual basis to
the $100 Contributing members of the Academy and to those in higher
categories for life. The Club/s establishment resulted in the creation of a
new $25 Professional category which is extended annually to selected
professional painters l sculptorsl and graphic artists. During 1965 62 professional artists availed themselves of these privileges.

EXHIBITIONS
THE 160th ANNUAL EXHIBITION of Water Colors, Prints and Drawings
(Reception and Private View, January 20; open to the public, January 22
through March 7).
An institution primarily dedicated to American art and American artists,
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has held annual exhibitions in
practically unbroken succession since 1811, as well as a greclt series of
special exhibitions. In the main, oil painting and sculpture have predominated, although in the early years the media was exceedingly varied. This
show, however, records the years of the Academy's life and is numbered
the 160th Annual Exhibition.
In 1902 the Academy began a series of exhibitions in collaboration with
the Philadelphia Water Color Club. In 1955 the Academy began staging
one annual show each season, usually held after the first of every year,
and the numbering to continue in sequence, alternating water colors, prints
and drawings with oils and sculpture exhibitions. Plans for the future are
not absolutely fixed, and the media of any annual exhibition may vary
with the years. This year's exhibition brings to Philadelphia a broad cross
section of contemporary work, juried and invited.

SCH OOLS
The 1965 school program began with the opening of classes on January 4.
The Day School enrolled 310 students and the Evening School 134. Regular
studio classes for day students were held from 9 A. M. to 4:30 P. M., and
7 to lOP. M. foreveni ng students five days each week. A fu II week of spri ng
vacation was granted this year in order to keep our schedule coordinated
with the University of Pennsylvania. The Academy had 59 day students engaged in this coordinated program.
Mrs. Wainwright and the Women's Committee arranged a tea for the girls
in residence in Peale House on January 26, and Mrs. James Stone gave a
tea at the Colonial Dames for the residents. On April 9, Mr. Blackburn took
a group of students to Cape May for the day. Mr. and Mrs. John Merriam
entertained the students in their home in Wynnewood on May 2. Members
of the Board, Women's Committee, and staff were also invited.
The Cresson exercises were held on May 5 and nine Cresson, one Ware, and
four Schiedt European Traveling Scholarships, and a number of other prizes
were awarded. Mr. Julian Levi, painter and member of the Academy faculty, gave the address.
Summer School was conducted from June 14 to July 23, with 127 students
working in Landscape, Figure, and Portrait painting.
The 1965-66 school year opened on September 9 with a Day School enrollment of 360 students, and 188 in Evening School. The continued growth
of the school resulted in growing pains which dictated some additional sections. In the Day School, Allen Harris and Karl Karhumaa joined the Faculty
as instructors in sculpture, Marshall Glasier as instructor in drawing, and
Leon Kelly as instructor in life painting. Joseph Amarotico and Arthur deCosta were added to the Evening School Faculty.
The annual Halloween party was held in the Auditorium on the evening
of October 29. As in other years, prizes were awarded for the most original
and interesting costumes, and dancing till midnight was featured with a
student band. The term closed on Wednesday, December 22.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
Mr. George L. Carroll served as Publicity and Development Director for the
first six months of 1965, handling all news releases to the press, radio and
television stations, and national publications.
31

On September 15, I took up my responsibilities as Director of Public Relations on a three days a week basis. Exhibitions at Broad and Cherry Streets
and Peale House, winter and summer school, and Peale Club, have all been
well publicized through news releases, radio and television stations. In
addition, I have handled all details in connection with the Academy's evening Chamber Music Concert series. I also serve the Women's Committee as
Recording Secretary and coordinator of their many activities.
EMILY R. HAINES (Mrs. Harold A. Haines, Jr.)
Director of Public Relations

WOMEN'S COMMITTEE
During 1965 the Women's Committee kept busy with several projects. The
first one being, as usual, the dinner party before the opening of the Annual
Exhibition. This was well attended, although somewhat less crowded than
that of the previous year.
During the spring the garden at Peale Club was planned and planted by
Mrs. Alfred Zantzinger and her Committee. Mrs. Arthur Young and her
Committee met regularly with the proctors at Peale House to discuss problems as they arose, and to help with their solution.
At the annual meeting in May Mrs. George Reath was elected Chairman,
Mrs. Erasmus Kloman and Mrs. Albert Greenfield, Jr., Vice Chairmen, and
Mrs. Casper W. B. Townsend continued as Secretary-Treasurer. It was also
at that time that the resignation of Miss Elizabeth Swenson, who had been
our right arm for so many years, was accepted with deep regret. Her
position was late'r filled by Mrs. Harold A. Haines, Jr., who has done a
splendid job for us with tact and ability.
During the summer, Mrs. Arthur Young undertook to decorate the lounge
of Peale House at the request of the Board of Directors, and the result
of her labors is a joy to behold. The students, who seldom seemed to care
about their surroundings, take pride in this charming room and enjoy it
every evening. This was a real labor of love on Mrs. Young's part, and the
Committee is most grateful to her.
A tea was held at the Peale House in September for the residents and was
enjoyed also by those members of the Committee who could get there.
In O ctober we organized a dinner a t the Academy, Broad and Cherry
Streets, in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition of Mr. Alfred
Bendiner's work.
At Christmas time we supplied the means for the Peale House students to
buy a tree and decorations, which they enjoyed very much.

32

During the year, all of the Academy and Peale House openings were
supplied with ladies to pour tea, coffee or chocolate, and we were able
to he'l p with the financing of the gallery concerts and with the tuition of
two students.

A membership in the Academy helps to support the oldest art institution in the country. Founded
in 1805, its origin dates from the initial efforts begun in 1791 by Charles Willson Peale to organize a school for the fine arts in Philadelphia.
The Academy school has trained many distinguished American painters, sculptors, and illustrators, and its students of today rank with the best.
In its galleries are held two of America's major annual art exhibitions: Paintings and Sculpture,
and Water Colors and Prints on alternate years; special exhibitions; and the Academy's permanent collection, representing a cross-section of American art from the early eighteenth century through its current acq uisitions.
Peale House, the Academy annex at 1811 Chestnut Street, serves as housing and additional
studio space for students, and contains two splendid public galleries for special exhibitions.
Peale Club, located at 1819 Chestnut Street, offers singular privileges to Contributing and
Professional members, and those in higher classes, by providing the ultimate in attractive surroundings for luncheon and dinner in the spacious dining rooms, with adjoining bar, and in the
lovely outdoor garden and terrace.
All members receive notices of Academy activities (concerts, lectures, motion pictures), invitations to private views at both the Academy and Peale House, catalogues of exhibitions and
schools, the Annual Report, and the privilege of using the art reference library. In addition,
members receive a 5% discount on all works of art purchased at an Academy exhibition, except
at a student show.

The Academy is open weekdays (except Mondays) from 10 A.M. to 5 P.M., Sundays and some
Holidays from 1 to 5 P.M. Closed Mondays, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
