The St. Louis Mercantile Library Association has, from the time of
its founding in 1846, exhibited and collected fine art, amassing a
collection that complements its research holdings while also
reflecting the tastes, interests, and cultural aspirations of its
constituency. As such, the collection is particularly strong in
artists who lived and worked in the city of St. Louis and the state
of Missouri and who created works inspired by literary, political,
and historical subjects.Numerous donations of sculpture have helped
form a nucleus of works that brings to life the association's
literary collections, while the predominance of landscape paintings
is a natural outgrowth of St. Louis' nineteenth-century landscape
movement that was tied to national and international art styles.
Appropriately, the collection also features portraits of political,
literary, and social leaders created in various media by some of
the leading artists of their day.This fully illustrated handbook
presents highlights of the paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings,
and folk and decorative arts that make up the Mercantile Library
Association's permanent collection and that reflect the
institution's past 160 years of cultural activity as well as its
ongoing role as a museum for art of the American Midwest.
