“Anatomy/Academy”…don’t miss it!

This promises to be a landmark show, not to be missed!

The Philadelphia Academy of Fine Art is where famed artist/rower Thomas Eakins once taught…until he was thrown out for having female students of his pose as nude figure models.

Anatomy/Academy

Dates:
January 29 – April 17, 2011

Location:
Fisher Brooks Gallery, Samuel M. V. Hamilton Building

Description:
Philadelphia has been a center for art and science since the eighteenth century. Its art and medical schools have been engines of innovation and the expansion of knowledge for nearly three centuries. Team curated by PAFA’s curators of historical, modern, and contemporary art, Anatomy/Academy will be the first exhibition to focus on how Philadelphia’s dynamic art and science communities, and in particular the curriculum of the Pennsylvania Academy, fostered knowledge of the human body.
