Through the lens of the Darby School, a summer art school program that upended the area's long-held artistic traditions, author Mark W. Sullivan demonstrates that the Philadelphia are was far more avant-garde than originally thought." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. Collectible.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This first full-length account of the Darby School of Art overturns Philadelphia's long-held unwarranted reputation as artistically stodgy - unwilling and unable to embrace Impressionism, post-Impressionist, and abstract art. This is the story of an almost completely forgotten summer art school that flourished first in Darby, PA, and then in Fort Washington, PA, between 1898 and 1918. The Darby School of Art was founded and operated by Thomas Anshutz and Hugh Breckenridge, two artists who taught during the academic year at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Anshutz and Breckenridge brought a lot of new ideas about painting back to Philadelphia after their European sojourns, and introduced those ideas to a public that was initially not very responsive to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and semi-abstract art. But an appreciation for modern styles of painting began to slowly grow among Philadelphia artists and collectors, and Anshutz and Breckenridge were in the forefront of this development. They also sympathized with what some have called the "New Woman" movement, which backed women who wanted to pursue careers outside of the home. In this new history, expert Mark Sullivan argues that the Philadelphia area was a genuine hub of avant-garde painting in the early twentieth century, even though it has earned the reputation of lagging far behind New York City in its openness to new styles of painting. It also discusses how the Darby School should be recognized as an institution that got behind the idea of women as professional artists at a time when that concept was quite radical. AUTHOR: Mark W. Sullivan earned a Ph. D. in art history from Bryn Mawr College, and taught at Rutgers University and Rosemont College (PA), before landing a full-time position at Villanova University. He spent 37 years at Villanova, and was the co-founder and director of its art history program. He specializes in the history of American painting, and has written and lectured extensively on the art and architecture of the Philadelphia area. He lives in the Philadelphia suburb of Fort Washington, not far from the art school that Thomas Anshutz and Hugh Breckenridge established there after re-locating from Darby, PA. 38 illustrations This first full-length account of the Darby School of Art overturns Philadelphias long-held unwarranted reputation as artistically stodgy - unwilling and unable to embrace Impressionism, post-Impressionist, and abstract art.
