Dorothy Grafly

Dorothy Grafly (later Drummond) (July 29, 1896 – November 13, 1980) was an American journalist, art critic, author, curator and philanthropist. Grafly wrote extensively for a wide variety of newspapers and magazines, and was described in ''Time'' magazine as "the ablest art critic in the city" of Philadelphia. Her book ''A History of the Philadelphia Print Club'' appeared in 1929. She served as the editor of ''Art Outlook'' (1943–1949) and the publisher and editor of ''Art in Focus'' (1949–1980).

From 1932 to 1945, Grafly was curator at the Drexel Museum and Picture Gallery. In 1996, her biographical memoir of her father, sculptor Charles Grafly, was published along with an exhibition catalog, ''The sculptor's clay: Charles Grafly, 1862–1929,'' celebrating his studio collection which Grafly and her husband had donated to the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita State University. Provided by Wikipedia
