Retired Princeton Day School Basketball Coach Shows His Artistic Side
THE MONTGOMERY NEWS | By Barbara A. Preston | June 29, 2023
Alan Taback, a long-time Blawenburg resident, was born in Newark in 1939. For 40 years, he coached basketball in Trenton, Princeton, and at The Solebury School in PA. He led the Princeton Day School basketball team to seven straight state championships from 1973 to 1980. During that period he visited the artist Anne Packard, best known for atmospheric seascape paintings. He painted his first painting in her Provincetown, MA studio. “She said I should keep painting, so I did,” Taback said. His early work depicted realistic beach scenes. Over time, his work evolved to abstract works of bold brush strokes and vivid color, painted with acrylics or oils. He says Monet, van Gogh, Kokashka, and deKooning have inspired him.
