	Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the oldest art school in the United States, founded in Philadelphia in 1805.
		In 1876, former Academy student Thomas Eakins returned to teach there and re-vamped the certificate curriculum to what it remains today.
		Students in the certificate program learn fundamentals of drawing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking (lithography) for two years, after which they enjoy two years of independent study, guided by frequent, helpful critiques from faculty, students, and visiting artists alike.

		The Academy offers the models contracts with the expectation that they have the professional modeling skills to perform the job competently; they do not receive any on-the-job training and the Academy does not supervise the quality of their work.
		The fact remains that the Academy, through its instructors, dictates the models’ poses, despite the fact that the models may be able to choose, for instance where to place their hand or foot while executing the pose designated by the instructor.

		The academy was formed to supersede it, sponsored by 71 public-spirited Philadelphia citizens, among them Peale, Charles Biddle, William Rush, and George Clymer.
		The present building was constructed in 1876 to house the academy's art collection, which includes the Temple Collection of modern American paintings, the Gibson Collection of 19th-century European paintings, and the John Frederick Lewis Collection of early American paintings.

		Located 2 blocks north of City Hall is the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), a wonderful museum and teaching facility that was the first art school in the country (1805) and at one time the unquestioned leader of American Beaux Arts.
		After a major renovation in late 1994, the academy, housed in a stunning Frank Furness building, unveiled a major reinstallation of 300 works from the past 200 years; another 2004-2005 restoration effort is brightening the jewel tones of the gorgeous, hand-painted decorative ceilings and the overall look of the landmark museum and school.
		As is evident from the PAFA galleries, such early American painters as Gilbert Stuart, the Peale family, and Washington Allston congregated in Philadelphia, America's capital and wealthiest city.

		His public is a wide one, including the students of art, who finds satisfaction in his supremely clever technique; the thoughtful man, who is impressed by the highly imaginative poetry regaled in his work; and the average person of taste, who is charmed by the richness of his color compositions.
		His fine decorative effects in deep purple forest or sunny blue sky, in delicately modeled figures or formal classic architecture, were something new in the art of cover designing, and they became standards of beauty of their kind.

	African Americans in the Visual Arts: A Historical Perspective
		The art world of this period was narrow, and African-American artists had to compete for recognition and earnings from pieces of art requested by their commissioners or patrons.
		Eakins was one of Tanner's teachers and his mentor when he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in the year 1880.
		He started his career in the field of visual arts by developing a finely tuned listening ear which later helped him to focus in with a perceptive eye on what the importance of African and African-American art should be in the world of art from a historical context.

	ART / 4 / 2DAY
		Parrish studied architecture at Haverford College, PA (1888—1891), but changed to painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia; he simultaneously attended classes given by the great Brandywine illustrator Howard Pyle [1853—1911] at the Drexel Institute, Philadelphia (although he was not registered there).
		Homer's art is cool, detached, impersonal, and ultimately pessimistic in its view that man is at the mercy of a deterministic universe.
		But Eakins' art had its long-range effect, serving as a model and an impetus for the burst of realism in US painting during the early years of the 20th century, especially in the work of George Bellows and the group called the Ashcan School of painters.

		It was in Paris, where he first studied at the Acad6mie Julian and later formed a small art school of his own, that he grew to admire the dark palette and free brushwork of Edouard Manet, Frans Hals, and Diego Velazquez.
		In Philadelphia, where he both studied and taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, he absorbed the sober realism of Thomas Eakins, as it had been passed on through the teachings of Thomas Anshutz.
		The event is often considered the opening salvo of modern art in the United States.

		In 1866, after studying briefly at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Eakins departed for Paris, where he studied with Gerome at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
		In 1886, for example, when he was director of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Eakins sought to illustrate a point of anatomy by removing a loincloth from a male model in a drawing class in which female students were present; he was promptly dismissed.
		But the result is a dehumanizing art that depends for its effect on a handful of visual cliches.
