Art on the Farm: A Tale of Two Central Illinois Artists
Bill Kemp from the McLean County Museum of History will be at the library on Saturday, August 22nd at 10 a.m. to tell us all about the careers of artists Lou Burk (1845-1914) and Alfred Montgomery (1857-1922) and their links to Central Illinois. Montgomery primarily painted ear corn and Burk livestock.
Their paintings and illustrations appealed to well-off farmers and businesses tied to the Corn Belt, such as grain dealers and seed companies.
The rise of folk and “outsider” art as a serious subject matter for scholars and collectors alike has boosted the reputations of both artists. There are many Montgomery oil paintings and Lou Burk prints in circulation. What’s in your attic?
This is a free program at the library for teens and adults. No registration is required.
