Dendler Named Fellow Of AAPL
May 5th, 2017 - Newton, MA
Deborah Dendler "has been named a Fellow of the American Artists Professional League (AAPL), NY, NY, having exhibited and been awarded for her work many times at the AAPL. A national organization dedicated to traditional realism in American art, the AAPL first focused "on the issue of obtaining commissions of official portraits for American Artists in the 1920's. By using its national stature, the AAPL influenced a rider to a Congressional Bill stipulating that all official portraits paid for with taxpayers' dollars were to be painted by American artists, a fact that remains in effect to this day." americanartistsprofessionalleague.org
