Making American Artists: Stories from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 1776–1976
Published on October 14, 2022
With over one hundred of the most acclaimed and iconic pieces in American art on display, the exhibition takes viewers on a journey across time, medium, and identity.
Organized by theme—portraiture, history painting, still life, genre scenes, and landscape—and not chronology, the exhibition affords the opportunity to enjoy familiar works in a new light and find new favorites.
Each of the featured artists’ careers were shaped by PAFA, whether through their education or the exhibition and display of their work. Making American Artists critically re-examines PAFA’s legacy while shedding light on its continuing role in shaping American art of the twenty-first century.
The exhibition runs from October 6, 2022 - April 4, 2023 at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, 118-128 N Broad St, Philadelphia, PA 19102.
