At the end of the 19th century, Anders Leonard Zorn (1860-1920) was one of the most well-known portraitists in France, England, and the United States. His talent, and knack for meeting the right people, led him to paint portraits of international celebrities including three U.S. Presidents, Swedish royalty, American railroad tycoons, and renowned artists. This exhibition will present all 96 etchings from the Museum’s permanent collection, showcasing the full collection for the first time in many years.
This exhibition will feature 75 original political cartoons created by local cartoonist Bob Palmer during his tenure at the "Springfield News-Leader". Between 1953 and 1991, Palmer made a daily cartoon covering everything from daily life in the Ozarks to national presidential elections to international issues ranging from Middle East Peace negotiations to concerns over Foreign Aid.
