The Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., is excited to present Fern Coppedge: New Discoveries, which recently opened. This exhibition highlights the Micheners recent acquisition of four winter landscapes by Pennsylvania Impressionist Fern Coppedge (1883-1951). Additionally, the public will get an in-depth look at the private life of the artist with the recent digitization of Coppedges scrapbooks from the museums library and archives. To see this exhibition, visitors must purchase timed tickets in advance and follow all museum guidelines for a safe visit. Were thrilled to add these vibrant paintings by Coppedge to our permanent collection and excited to share the new information weve uncovered about these works with visitors, remarked Laura Turner Igoe, Ph.D., curator of American Art at the Michener Art Museum. Coppedge has long been heralded for her unique ability to depict landscapes using bold shapes and vibrant colors. At the age of 13, Coppedge knew she wanted to pursue a career in the arts after visiting her older sisters watercolor class. She went on to study art at the Art Institute of Chicago, eventually relocating to New York to study at the Art Students League. In 1920, Coppedge moved to Lumberville, Bucks County, and was quickly immersed in the local art scene. She was heavily influenced by other Bucks County artists, including Daniel Garber, Elizabeth Price, and Faye Swengel Badura. From 1922 to 1935, Coppedge showed with the Philadelphia Ten, a group of women artists who exhibited together while the art world was primarily male-dominated. Coppedge resided in New Hope until her death in 1951. Fern Coppedge: New Discoveries is generously supported by Carol and Louis Della Penna. Additional support is provided by Judy and Seth Blau. The exhibition program in the Bette and Nelson Pfundt Gallery is presented by Vivian Banta and Robert Field. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 S. Pine St., Doylestown, Pa.
