OUTSTANDING COLLECTIONS OPEN FOR INSPECTION In addition to the largest depository of Missouri records in the ivorld and its well-known library and reference facilities on Missouriana, the State Historical Society of Missouri has four outstanding collections open for inspection in the Society's rooms in the University of Missouri library building in Columbia. All members of the Society and their friends and the general public are invited to see these collections when they are in Columbia: THE GEORGE CALEB BINGHAM ART COLLECTION The George Caleb Bingham Art Collection is headed by ''Order No. 11" or "Martial Law," Missouri's most famous historical painting. Other Bingham paintings in the collection include portraits of James Shannon, John "Woods Harris, and Vinnie Ream Hoxie, and two genre paintings called "Watching The Cargo" or "Lighter Relieving A Steamboat Aground" and "Scene on the Ohio." THE DANIEL R. FITZPATRICK COLLECTION The Daniel R. Fitzpatrick Collection of cartoon drawings for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch includes 1,332 original sketches by the internationally famous editorial cartoonist. The cartoons cover the period from 1917 to 1945. They are mainly in the field of Missouriana with a number relating to national and international affairs. The collection was given to the Society by Mr. Fitzpatrick. THE J. CHRISTIAN BAY COLLECTION The J. Christian Bay Collection, one of the rare selected libraries of Middle Western Americana in the United States, consists of more than 3,889 items of information fundamental in the history and literature in America's great. "Middle Border." Named in honor of its creator, J. Christian Bay, the Bay Col­ lection is housed in a special rare book room. THE THOMAS HART BENTON GALLERY The Thomas Hart Benton Gallery of historic art includes The Year of Peril series of paintings: eight historical canvasses of 1942, painted by the Missouri artist, Thomas Hart Benton. Another closely associated Benton painting, en­ titled "The Negro Soldier" and painted at the same time as The Year of Peril series, is also on display in the Benton Gallery. OTHER ART COLLECTIONS The Fred Geary Collection of woodcuts of Missouri, Louisiana, and New Mexico scenes; the Henry C. Thompson Collection of oil portraits of eminent Missourians; and the collection of Missouri primitive art on Missouri by Mrs. Walter Griffen, Augustus G. Beller, Cornelia A. Kuemmel, and others, are also on display by the Society and are unusual in interest to spectators and in value to the cultural historian.

SHOEMAKER1 Compiled by RUBY M. ROBINS2 Missouri is as distinctive in the museum field in 1951 as she was in 1818 when William Clark opened his Indian Museum in St. Louis, the first museum west of the Mississippi and the nine­ teenth in the United States, for data from a recent survey by the State Historical Society shows Missouri to have over a hundred museums and museum collections open to the public. This data shows that Missouri has nationally outstanding museums, some housed in beautiful and impressive buildings, as well as small collections of great value. It also shows that Missouri employs such modern practices in the museum field as the establishment of historic house museums (houses of interest because of associa­ tion with some person, event, or style of architecture, furnished in keeping with the period) ; the establishment of state park museums; the organization of exhibits or collections that can be manipulated or operated; and the offering of museum instructional service. Also typical of the up-to-date museum outlook is the fact that many of the museums and collections in the state are available to the public in the evening and on Sunday. This compiled list of public and private museums and collections open to the public is for reference and study. The information in­ cluded has been obtained from newspapers, magazines, books, museum publications, and letters. Over 900 letters were written in check­ ing each of Missouri's 114 counties and the City of St. Louis for all possible museums or collections open to the public and in ob­ taining needed data. The City of St. Louis and 48 counties re­ ported having museums or collections organized for public exhibi­ tion. Museums and collections are listed geographically. There is no attempt to evaluate the institution or exhibit listed, but the following information is given: name and location; province or ^LOYD c.

We make judgments about its quality and relevance based on current sentiments and tastes. This is a natural inclination, but unless we take the time to consider where and when the artists were working and what the conditions were like at that time, we miss much of the story that lies behind every great work of art. If we fail to consider that Eastman Johnson’s The Vacant Chair (cat. 4) was painted in 1865, we might conclude that it is simply a nicely painted interior of an old kitchen. When we stop to remember that the Civil War had just ended when Johnson put brush to canvas and that the empty chair might symbolize a missing soldier who will never return home, the painting’s powerful statement is fully realized. When we look at the paintings of great women Impressionists, such as Jane Peterson (cat. 18), it deepens our appreciation of their work when we stop to think of their struggle to be taken seriously at a time when women were con- sidered to be, at best, hobbyists.

Additional images of Boone County, Rocheport, the Ozarks, and Cooper, Iron and Jackson County buildings, people and miscellaneous places. Many of the photographs in this collection are by Leon Waughtel. DONOR INFORMATION The collection was donated to the State Historical Society of Missouri by Roy T. King in multiple accessions from 1978-1988. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Roy T. King was born on December 26, 1904 in Sturgeon, Missouri.

    National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993

    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.

It was the desire of those responsible for the collection to exhibit chiefly works produced within the last fifteen years and by men of recog- nized ability of every school. The major portion of the works here assembled was selected from the Fine Arts Section; but a few judiciously chosen additions, including the Belgian paintings, were made from the retrospective exhibition in the French Pavilion. It is fair to assume that all of the works presented are characteristic examples by the artists represented, and that they afford the American public an opportunity to study the typical, present-day art of France, the sort of art that one would expect to find assembled in the annual exhibitions of the Salon.

    PlistoriosLl 3R,e*v-ie"W" The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA, MISSOURI COVER DESCRIPTION: The front-cover illustration is a reproduc­ tion of George Caleb Bingham's portrait of John Woods Harris. Moving in 1817 from Madison County, Kentucky, to Thrall's Prairie in western Boone County, Missouri, Harris became a prominent merchant and agriculturalist. Harris experimented in agriculture and continually enlarged, improved and developed his farm. In 1873 the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association awarded Harris's farm the title of "Model Farm of Missouri." Harris also engaged in the mercantile business in Columbia, Rocheport and Middle Grove. He won election as Boone Coun­ ty's representative to the Missouri legislature in 1860 and 1864. Harris also served on the University of Missouri's board of curators. George Caleb Bingham, a friend of Harris, completed this portrait in 1837. Mrs. William Jackson Hendrick, a daughter of Harris, presented the portrait to the State Historical Society in 1923. The Harris portrait, along with fourteen other portraits, one landscape, two genre paintings, four engravings, two litho­ graphs and numerous sketches presently are being displayed in the Society's Art Gallery. This exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of Bingham's death. The State Historical Society Art Gallery is open to the public 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M., Monday-Friday, excepting legal holi­ days.
