Accidental Mysteries

February 5 - 20, 2010

Extraordinary Vernacular Photographs from The Collection of John and Teenuh Foster

"Over the years, longtime folk art collectors John and Teenuh Foster have assembled an exceptional group of snapshot photographs from forays to antique shops, flea markets an on-line auctions. The found images are orphans of another life, holding secrets within them regarding their real narratives. Rediscovered, these photographs have been given new life and lie open to reinterpretation." -Olivia Lahs-Gonzales

Billyo O'Donnell: Painting Missouri

The result of a seven-year effort during which MSU alumni and Plein Air artist Billyo O’Donnell, painting outdoors, on location, faced almost every weather element imaginable, the 114 original oil paintings in this exhibit represent each of Missouri’s 114 counties. Offering a colorful snapshot of the Missouri landscape, subjects include historic buildings, small town streetscapes, fields, streams, farmhouses, and barns in every different circumstance of light and weather. 

Internationally known, O’Donnell is founder of the Artists Along the Katy Trail program and was selected as one of America’s 50 Exceptional Plein Air Painters by The Haggin Museum in Stockton, California. His work is featured in collections in the United States, Japan, and Europe. He lives in Eureka, Missouri.

Painting Missouri: The Counties en Plein Air, a companion book to the exhibit, has been published by The University of Missouri Press. The book features reproductions of the paintings in the exhibit and historical essays by journalist Karen Glines.
