St Louis Art Museum and the Pulitzer Foundation



I'm back in the green country. It is 105' here and humid and worse than anywhere I've been this summer.





This is the painting that greets me, though. I really like Caleb Bingham, look how good this other figure is too. Precursor to Benton and then Disney-- real connections. He's got a bit of a that Rousseau like-- naivety.



They have really good Pre Columbian things that belonged to the psychologist, Rollo May, I'm not sure if he owned the Max Beckmann's also but they are really good too.







There are really a lot of German Paintings, this Kiefer, another down stairs and a bunch of Richter and Polke.
