Daniel Garber’s “Tanis” Returns To The Michener Art Museum For Limited Engagement Famous Painting On Loan From Philadelphia Museum Of Art For Remainder Of 2018 Daniel Garber’s universally celebrated painting “Tanis” will return to the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and remain on view at the Michener through Dec. 30. In 2011, Philadelphia-area philanthropists Marguerite and H. F. Gerry Lenfest presented “Tanis” as a gift to the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the stipulation that the painting be returned on loan to the Michener Art Museum for three months every three years. This year marks its second return under that agreement. Marguerite and Gerry Lenfest are longtime supporters of the Michener Art Museum, which is recognized for its world-class collection of Pennsylvania Impressionist paintings, many of them donated to the museum by the Lenfests, as well as its commitment to preserving and presenting the work of other Delaware Valley artists of all eras and creative disciplines. “We are thrilled to welcome ‘Tanis’ back to the Michener Art Museum,” said Barbara Donnelly Bentivoglio, interim executive director of the Michener Art Museum. “We, along with our visitors, marvel about the vast, timeless talents of Daniel Garber. Adding ‘Tanis’ to our galleries gives our visitors an even broader and deeper understanding of Garber’s remarkable legacy.” Four significant figural works by Daniel Garber will be on view at the Michener Art Museum this summer. Three of these works, “Tanis,” “Fanny,” and “Studio Wall,” will be visible to visitors from a single vantage point in the Hankin and Betz Gallery. “A Wooded Watershed,” a 22-by-12-foot mural, is on view in the museum’s Putman Smith Gallery. Daniel Garber (1880-1958) was a central figure in the Pennsylvania Impressionist movement and was one of the most significant and decorated artists of his generation. Born in Indiana, Garber moved east as a teenager to pursue his dream career as an artist. After studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and in Europe, Garber

settled down to painting in his home, Cuttalossa, in Lumberville, Pa. Garber’s style combines realism and fantasy, precise draftsmanship and decorative technique, emblazoning all in vibrant, shimmering colors. A landscape artist, Garber was best known for his paintings of Bucks County woods and quarries. To a greater extent than many of his New Hope colleagues, Garber also achieved recognition as a figure painter. A leading instructor at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for over 40 years, Garber influenced younger generations of painters as well. Among the Garber works in the Michener Art Museum’s permanent collection are the mural “A Wooded Watershed,” along with several paintings including “Up the Cutalossa” (1915), “April 30” (1953), and “Springtime in the Village” (1917). The Michener Art Museum’s permanent holdings include nine additional Garber paintings as well as 70 prints and drawings by the artist. An exhibition currently on view at the Michener Art Museum titled “American Moderns: The Legacy of Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest” showcases modernist work donated to the Michener Art Museum by the Lenfests. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine St., Doylestown, Pa. For more information, readers may call 215-340-9800 or visit www.MichenerArtMuseum.org.
