From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seymour Remenick (1923 – December 15, 1999) was a Philadelphia-based artist and teacher, mostly known for landscapes, but who also painted a variety of other subjects.[1]

Remenick studied at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, 1940–1942; the Hans Hofmann School in New York City, 1946–1948; and the Pennsylvania Academy Fine Arts (PAFA) in Philadelphia.[2] He later taught at PAFA from 1977 to 1996.[2]

Remenick's work was exhibited at a number of venues, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art,[3] the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,[4] the Philadelphia School of Painting,[5] the Terenchin[6] and the Davis Galleries.[7] His paintings have also been auctioned at Christie's, New York.[8] In 2010, the Lancaster Museum of Art held a posthumous exhibition of his works.[9] His paintings were cataloged by the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[10]

Among the awards he received were a 1955 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant, the 1960 Altman Landscape Prize from the National Academy of Design (NAD),[11] and a 1960 Hallmark Purchase Award.[12] NAD elected Remenick an associate member in 1980, and an academician in 1982.[13] As a teacher at PAFA, he served as mentor to Giovanni Casadei,[14] Robert Dye[15] and others.[16]
