Item Description
The Philadelphia Ten was a group of women painters and sculptors, who showed their work together between 1917 and 1945 in Philadelphia, as well as in other major East Coast and Midwest cities. All members of the group (a total of 30) studied art in the schools of Philadelphia, primarily the Philadelphia School of Design for Women and the Pennsylvania Academy. Among the best known of the group are Fern Coppedge, M. Elizabeth Price, and Harriet Frishmuth. This book acompanied a travelling exhibition of the same name in 1998.
The book contains biographies of the artists, and essays on their works of art. One reviewer writes, "An excellent introduction to probably the most significant group of women artists in the post-impressionist period. This is one of the few in-depth biographical sources in print for most of these painters and sculptors. The well-reproduced illustrations cover the paintings and sculptures that were part of a traveling exhibition from 1998."
A lovely book for anyone with an interest in American artists.
