Fred Returns: Selected Works of Fred Noyes
from the Permanent Collection
In honor of a recent acquisition of a large collection of artwork
created by the Museum's 
founder - Fred W. Noyes, Jr. (1905-1987) - the Noyes
Museum of Art will organize the first retrospective exhibition to focus
exclusively on his artistic achievements. Running from October 7, 2000 through
February 4, 2001, "Fred Returns: Selected Works of Fred Noyes from
the Permanent Collection" will feature watercolors, oils and gouaches
dating throughout Fred Noyes's entire artistic career. Fred began his art
studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and later moved on to
study at the Barnes Foundation in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania. Influenced
by Paul Cezanne, synthetic cubism and Paul Klee at various times throughout
his career, Fred's work eventually became more grounded in the sunny landscape
of the southern New Jersey shore region. (left: Bouquet with Black
Bowl, 23 x 19 1/2 inches; right: Apples in White Bowl, 20 x 16
inches)
Best
known in the local communities around Atlantic City as the founder (along
with his 
wife
Ethel Marie Noyes) of the Towne of Historic Smithville and the Ram's Head
Inn, Fred was a major supporter of many artistic and civic institutions.
The Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville was one of his major charitable achievements.
The Museum opened to the public in June of 1983 on a site overlooking Lily
Lake. (left: Green and Yellow Pears, 12 1/2 x 20 inches; right:
