Matt Phillips: Inspired (6/13/2019)

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 12:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	6/13/2019	Start Time:	8:00 AM
End Date:	6/13/2019	End Time:	7:00 PM

Exhibition from March 29, 2019 through July 26, 2019. The late Matt Phillips (1927–2017) was a painter, printmaker and art educator. He was born in New York and studied literature at the University of Chicago where he earned his master’s degree. He first studied art at the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania, and traveled throughout Europe studying painting. He taught art in Paris from 1962 to 1964. When he returned to the United States, he taught at Bard College in upstate New York for 27 years.

This exhibition focuses on how Phillips, who is best known for his monotypes, and who often referred to himself as a “painter-poet,” found inspiration in several areas, notably poetry, nature, the female form and his world travels. His concentration on the medium of monotyping, helped to reintroduce contemporary artists to a technique that had been favored by nineteenth-century artists.

This exhibition was curated by Joseph O’Kane ’18 as a museum leadership graduate practicum project. Special thanks are owed to Arthur L. Frank, MD, PhD, professor and chair emeritus of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the Dornsife School of Public Health, and his wife Joanne B. Frank, for their sponsorship and the use of their collection. Without their generosity, this exhibit would not have been possible.

John Chapel: A Photographic Voyage (6/13/2019)

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 13:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	6/13/2019	Start Time:	9:00 AM
End Date:	6/13/2019	End Time:	4:00 PM

Exhibition from April 29, 2019 through July 26, 2019. The exhibition A Photographic Voyage highlights the photographs of R. John Chapel, Jr. ’67, taken at his home in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, throughout the region and across the world, over twenty-nine countries, from trips with his wife, Jinnie. Chapel received his first camera in the sixth or seventh grade, but it wasn’t until he and his wife began traveling that Chapel became a more avid photographer. Now he is part of the Kiawah Camera Club and works alongside and learns from other photographers to hone his skills. The subject matter of the photographs ranges from flowers to animals to architecture, something Chapel is particularly drawn to due in part from his engineering courses at Drexel University.

Between 2008 and 2014, John and Jinnie Chapel have donated over $3.5 million to the Drexel LeBow College of Business, including a $2.5 million gift endowing the dean’s chair. The Chapels also support Drexel’s Department of Athletics by establishing the John and Jinnie Chapel ACHIEVE Center and Dragon Lounge, where all of the University’s current Division I varsity student-athletes can receive support in academic, leadership, career and personal development, as well as engage in civic engagement opportunities.

Chapel is continuing his generosity to Drexel by making the photographs in this exhibition available for purchase, with all proceeds going to the University.
