Historical October 1982 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
An exhibition of drawings, prints, watercolors and photographs capturing the spirit of America’s years of westward expansion opened on Sept. 7 at the St. Louis Art Museum. Art of the Old West will be on view in the Cohen Gallery through Oct. 31.
This showing of works owned by the Museum includes some of the George Caleb Bingham drawings, as well.
During the 19th century, St. Louis was the starting point for expeditions headed north along the Missouri River and expeditions headed westward toward the Rockies and the Pacific Ocean. Such journeys were documented by artists, journalists, and photographers, among them Charles Wimar. Seth Eastman, George Catlin, and Carleton Watkins.
There are also photographs by Timothy O’Sullivan, William H. Jackson, John Hillers, Carleton Watkins and others which show photography—then a young medium— reached new artistic heights recording the spectacular Western landscape.
During the month a Western Epic film series will feature such favorites as Shane, •(Oct. 1), The Man from Laramie (Oct. 8), The Searchers (Oct. 15), True Grit (Oct. 22), and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Oct. 29). Films are on Fridays at 1:30, 7, 9:15 or 9:30 p.m.
Admission is $2; $1 for Friends.
If you have not seen the Art Museum’s fine Asian art collection, you can view “Treasures from the East: Asian Arts from the Collection,” which opened Sept. 24 in the Special Exhibition Galleries. More than 100 of the most important works from the Oriental collection will be on view through Nov. 14.
The exhibition will feature objects of outstanding quality, rarity, and beauty from China, Japan, India, and the Islamic world. Sculptures in stone, metal, and wood; paintings; bronzes; textiles; lacquer wares and jades from the third millenium B.C. to the 18th century are included in the selection. Of special interest are some of the more important examples from the large group or objects donated by St. Louis’s great collectors of Asian art: a select group of the finest rugs from the James F. Ballard collection of Oriental rugs; a representative sampling of treasures of Chinese art amassed by the eclectic St. Louis collector, J. Lionberger Davis; and an array of exquisite Classical Chinese ceramics from the world-famous collection of Samuel C. Davis.
There will be Thursday morning 11 a.m. gallery talks as well.
On Sunday, Oct. 3, Dr. Patricia Sheehan will talk on “Oriental Music Outside China,” and on Sunday, Oct. 10, Dr. Arnold Perris will talk on “Music of China.” Both lectures are free and begin at 2:30 p.m. in the Special Exhibition Galleries.
In addition, there will be a two-night program of Japanese Experimental Film, 1960-1980, at 8 p.m. on Sept. 30 and Oct. 7 in the Museum Auditorium.
