CURRY THE ARTIST Mr. Curry began as a boy to draw his Kansas country of majestic serenity on the one hand and unf predictable changes of weather on the other. When he was eighteen he went to Kansas City to study at the Art Institute. Then he succumbed to the lures of New York where he tried magazine illustrating for a time. In his own words he was not 'lclever enough , however. Dissatisned with his work, he went to Paris to make a serious study of good draftsmanship. He returned to America determined by that time to be a painter and a painter of the things he knew best. Baptism in Kansas was his first recognized work. In IQ52 he painted circus subjects for a time while he traveled with the Big Top. More ref cently he has made his mark as a mural painter. His appointment at Wisconsin under the provisions of the Brittingham Trust was renewed this year. The heroic portrait of john Brown shown on the opposite page is a preliminary study for one of twelve murals that John Curry was commissioned to paint for the Kansas State Capitol. Brown is the central Hgure of one section called 'Tragic Prelude depicting the history of Kansas leading up to the Civil War.

T ODEST, genial looking Mr. John Steuart Curry has unobtrusively made an important place for himself in Wiscoiisiii in just four years. In IQ36 he came to the university to occupy the newly created position of' ''ArtistfinfResidence in the Agri' cultural school. The art world and others had recognized him already for his sincere, realistic and moving pictures of American life, particuf larly of his native, rural Kansas. At XVisconsin he has combined the work of artist and teacher. I-ie goes quietly about his business, usually wearing white overalls and smoking a pipe when he paints at his studio on the Ag campus Cleftl. By his work here he has awakened in stuf dents and the people of the state a keener awareness of the strong, naf tural beauty of their own, essentially rural, part of the country. The terrors of natural disturbances like The 'Tornado Cbelowl were a very real part of Mr. Currys boyhood experience on a Kansas Rirm. The picture now hangs in the Hzickley Art Gallery, Muskegari, Michigan. The 1041 BADGER is indebted to LIFE Maga' :ine for the use of the engravings which illustrate this john Steuart Curry section. .
