Arnold Palmer Paintings Donation to The Hartford Golf Club
In May of 2015, the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society received a generous donation of nine paintings by artist Sylvia Davis-Patricelli, given by her daughter Susan Patricelli-Regan. In recognition of this important contribution, the Society hosted an exhibit of Mrs. Patricelli’s significant historical collections for public viewing and sale of selected works to raise funding for the Fine Arts Scholarship that her daughter had established in honor of her mother’s unmatched accomplishments in the art world.
Two major pieces from the USPGA world were a head study of Arnold Palmer and one of his famous swing on the practice tee of the Bob Hope Classic. Sylvia and her husband, Anthony Patricelli, followed the pro tour in the sixties while Tony wrote a weekly golf column for the Hartford Courant “On the Tour” and Sylvia did live studies of the tournament venues and her husband completed a non-fiction book on the life of the pro golfers.
Mr. Jim Lyons attended the opening exhibit and purchased the Arnold Palmer oils with the intention to donate them to the Hartford Golf Club in recognition of Mr. Palmer’s major contribution to the golf world. Mr. Lyon’s objective has now been realized, as the venerable establishment has installed both paintings in the foyer of the Club.
Mrs. Patricelli's exceptional portrait talent can be seen on the website www.sylviadavisart.com depicting oils of America's Cup canvases, Pro Golf Tour scenes and golfers as well as the renowned Solomon Island native artworks, completed 6 months before WWII. Upon her arrival in the US post WWII, her first exhibition was opened by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt who’s almost life size portrait as well as one of General MacArthur is among the collections. It is a career not only of diverse subjects but most importantly of historical nature. For more information, contact Susan Patricelli-Regan at [email protected] or 860.844.0121.
