Columbia Artist Frank Stack Donates River Image to State Historical Society

Nationally-known watercolorist Frank Stack recently donated his work Spring Rain to the State Historical Society of Missouri. His recent donation, which is a watercolor landscape featuring the Missouri River, is currently on display in the exhibit Great Rivers. The exhibit runs through May 13 in the Society’s Main Gallery. The Society is pleased to hold twenty-six prints, drawings and paintings by Stack in its collection, which features the works of nationally and locally-known artists connected to Missouri.

Born in Texas, Stack studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and later in Paris before becoming a faculty member at the art department at the University of Missouri in 1963, where he is now professor emeritus. As a painter, printmaker, and graphic artist, Stack has had many one man and group exhibits of his work around the country.

The Society’s Main Gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30-4:00 p.m.
