[From Introduction] For the occasion of the opening of the Museum of Art at The Pennsylvania State University, there seemed no more logical exhibition than one of Pennsylvania artists. And it also seemed apparent that works of these artists might well be sought from collections within the Commonwealth for a Pennsylvania institution. The determination of the person to select and annotate these works was no less obvious a choice. Harold E. Dickson, our distinguished Emeritus Professor of Art History, was not only an authoritative voice in the field of American Art but in addition was well aware of collections, both private and public, throughout Pennsylvania . . . The term PENNSYLVANIA PAINTERS has been flexibly applied. Just over two-thirds of those represented in this exhibition are native and some of those had their major careers outside of the state. Indeed, two Pennsylvanians, Benjamin West and Mary Cassatt, are mainly identified with their expatriate homes in England and in France. Understandably, a number of our earlier painters emigrated from Europe and became relevantly associated with Pennsylvania, enriching the young Commonwealth and country with their talents. The 30 works comprising this exhibition are a highly select group from the early 18th century to our times. No living artists are included. The number is not an arbitrary one but rather the number that resulted from the availability of top quality examples of paintings for loan to us. In several instances, prime works of Pennsylvania painters are not represented in Pennsylvania collections. Occasionally loans were not negotiable. But 30 MASTERWORKS have evolved as the substance of this exhibit, and while they do not form a complete historical continuity of painting in the Commonwealth, they indicate a panorama of highlights with sequential meaning. It is a fascinating range of work including the elitist painting of Benjamin West and the gifted primitivism of Florace Pippin . . .
