Collection of Henry Dubin, Philadelphia until 2018
Exhibitions
Avery Galleries, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Living Color Modern Life: Hugh Henry Breckenridge and Arthur B. Carles, October 5-November 2, 2018.
Perhaps more than any other American modernist painter, Arthur Carles was
strongly rooted in Philadelphia and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts. He studied at PAFA from 1900 to 1907; taught there from 1917 to 1925;
and exhibited at the Annual Exhibitions throughout his career. To quote
Richard Boyle, a former Director of PAFA, Carles was “the leading
‘Pennsylvania Academy Modern.’”
Like his contemporaries, Carles entered the Academy at one of the most
exciting times in American art history. The art world was about to change
dramatically as the advent of European modernism captured the imaginations
of so many young art students. And while his principle instructors at PAFA,
namely William Merritt Chase, Thomas Anshutz, and Cecilia Beaux, would have
discouraged his eventual move toward total abstraction, they were the first
people to encourage Carles to look at modern French art while emphasizing
the importance of technique and the development of personal style. In their
classes Carles gained a strong artistic foundation on which he built for his
entire career. Hugh Breckenridge, a younger instructor at PAFA, was also
extremely influential for Carles. His bold experiments with color greatly
inspired the young artist and initiated his lifelong fascination with color. From
Breckenridge, Carles said he learned “that color resonance is what you paint
pictures with.”
Carles won the Cresson Traveling Scholarship at the Academy and when
he graduated in 1907 he left for France. At that time, Paris was filled with
young artists, who were captivated by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo
Picasso, and Carles was no exception. He met Matisse probably through
Gertrude and Leo Stein and was greatly affected by the French artist’s
imaginative and highly unorthodox use of color. Indeed, the understanding of young artists, who were captivated by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo

Arthur Beecher Carles
Philadelphia Modernist Arthur Beecher Carles was born in Philadelphia and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where he also taught and travelled to Paris on the prestigious Cresson Scholarship in 1907. Greatly influenced by French Fauvism and Post-Impressionism, Arthur B. Carles met and became friends with Matisse and others living in Paris. His work is in major museums including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art and Whitney Museum of American Art. Carles' main subjects were nudes and still lifes. His nudes, painted between 1920-30, were heavily influenced by his trips to Paris; his model and muse in many of these paintings was Angele, a red-headed French girl who was persuaded by Carles' daughter, Mercedes to model for her father. Whether painting a still life or figure, Carles used the surface to apply abstract forms of color, defining his new "Modern" approach.

Woman with Red Sash
By Philip Leslie Hale
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
An influential critic, writer and teacher, Philip Leslie Hale was an American Impressionist with an experimental, avant-garde approach to painting. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of author Edward Everett Hale and the younger brother of artist Ellen Day Hale, Philip was raised in a lively intellectual atmosphere. He probably received his first artistic training from his paternal aunt Susan Hale, after which he entered the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School under Edmund Tarbell, an American Impressionist painter who greatly influenced Hale’s style. A year later in 1884, the young artist moved to New York City, where he enrolled at the Art Students League and studied under Kenyon Cox and J. Alden Weir. There, his fellow students included Theodore Butler and William Howard “Peggy” Hart.
In 1887, Hale traveled to Paris with Theodore Butler and Susan Hale, where he furthered his artistic training at Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Académie Julian. During this first year, he studied with Jules-Joseph Lefebvre, Gustave Boulanger and Henri Lucien Doucet...

A ca. 1928 Drawing of a Dapper Man with a Pint Glass by Artist Francis Chapin

A ca. 1928 charcoal on paper drawing of a dapper man with a pint glass by artist Francis Chapin.
Image size: 12" x 9". Matted size: 14" x 18". Provenance: Estate of the artist.
Francis Chapin, affectionately called the “Dean of Chicago Painters” by his colleagues, was one of the city’s most popular and celebrated painters in his day. Born at the dawn of the 20th Century in Bristolville, Ohio, Chapin graduated from Washington & Jefferson College near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922. He would set down deep roots at the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibiting there over 31 times between 1926 and 1951. In 1927 Chapin won the prestigious Bryan Lathrop Fellowship from the Art Institute – a prize that funded the artist’s yearlong study trip to Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Chapin decided to remain in Chicago, noting the freedom Chicago artists have in developing independently of the pressure to conform to pre-existing molds (as was experienced by artists in New York, for example). Chapin became a popular instructor at the Art Institute, teaching there from 1929 to 1947 and at the Art Institute’s summer art school in Saugatuck, Michigan (now called Oxbow) between 1934 – 1938 (he was the director of the school from 1941-1945). Chapin’s contemporaries among Chicago’s artists included such luminaries as Ivan Le Lorraine Albright...
