The death of Lyme Academy President Emeritus Frederick S. Osborne, who served as the Academy’s second president from 2002 through 2007, has been announced.
Mr. Osborne was responsible for ushering the Academy through to a fully accredited, independent fine arts college. He was devoted to the mission of the Academy and understood the contribution of illustration carrying the torch of realism at a time when arts institutions were dismissing observational skills in drawing, painting and sculpture. Mr. Osborne added the Illustration major to the degree-granting Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts.
