At the center of the exhibit are Benton’s original illustrations for the Twain classics published by Limited Editions during the 1930s and 1940s: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Life on the Mississippi. At the opening, and throughout the week of March 16-21, students from MU’s Department of Textile and Apparel Management, Missouri Historic Costume and Textile Collection will display historic dress and textiles related to several artworks in the Society’s Main Gallery, with special focus on the era of Twain as illustrated by Benton. posted @ 10:33 AM
