Before he became one of America’s most celebrated impressionists and a cornerstone of the New Hope art colony, Edward Redfield (1869-1965) was a student honing his craft at the Academy. We are thrilled to announce the recent acquisition of a small collection of Redfield’s student works, created between 1887 and 1889. These are particularly unique as students rarely preserved any of their student work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The complete digitized collection<\/a> is now fully accessible online via our Digital Archives, offering researchers, students, and art enthusiasts free access to these foundational works. Explore the new collection<\/a> today and trace the early steps of a master landscape painter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Collection Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pedagogical Insight:<\/strong> Gain a rare window into the traditional academic curriculum that shaped a generation of American masters under the influence of the Eakins-era PAFA framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Foundational Studies:<\/strong> Explore early technical exercises, including meticulous plaster cast and architectural ornament studies of leaves, hands, and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life Drawings:<\/strong> View advanced charcoal and graphite nude figure studies that demonstrate the rigorous anatomical training of the late 19th-century academy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Before he became one of America’s most celebrated impressionists and a cornerstone of the New Hope art colony, Edward Redfield (1869-1965) was a student honing his craft at the Academy.
