This exhibit utilizes the Springfield Art Museum's permanent collection to demonstrate frame styles and trends covering both hand-carved and mass-produced molded ornament frames, as well as to illustrate the important role of framing in conserving and preserving artwork.
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.
