This biennial invitational exhibition recognizes and encourages artists working in all media in the four-state region of Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas.
This exhibition features work in the series Varie Figure, or Various Figures (1621-1628) by the pre-eminent French printmaker Jacques Callot. The series contains sixteen works pulled from the Museum's permanent collection. Most works feature double images of the same figure. It has been suggested that this series served as a drawing book or model for learning rapid, freehand drawing.
This exhibit presents Michael Mazur's full portfolio of 41 etchings illustrating "The Inferno," written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century. Each etching is paired with the relevant excerpted portions of Dante’s poem in Italian with Robert Pinsky’s English translations.
