Before the Museums Came: A Social History of the Fine Arts in the
Twin Cities gives an engaging portrayal of the fine arts scene of
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota in the United States, spanning
from the appearance of the earliest artists in 1835 to the opening
of the first permanent museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in
1915. Readers will learn about the institutions and organizations
that were created in support of the fine arts, the early art
exhibitions and events, and the collectors, dealers and artists
whose efforts made all of that come to fruition. The text -
enriched and supplemented by reproductions of artworks, photographs
of various personages, exhibition venues, studios, art galleries,
catalogues, and ephemera - presents a clear understanding of the
period and breaks new ground for future scholars to research. Leo
John Harris had pursued three different careers before retiring to
follow yet another vocation, this time as a writer. He served in
the U.S. Department of State and Foreign Service; he was an
international lawyer; and he founded a niche publishing house
devoted to books on the arts, history, and popularculture. In his
retirement he has written articles and books on philately, the arts
and regional history, and this passion has now resulted in a
well-researched and richly illustrated publication.
