An installation at the St. Louis Art Museum features the contents of two sketchbooks Wimar filled with drawings during his first trip up the Missouri. Encounters along the Missouri River: The 1858 Sketchbooks of Charles Wimar features the books’ small leaves, most with multiple images accurately rendered in pencil and carefully notated with names. These augmented photographs he took (now lost) and art objects he collected, all in an effort to add greater veracity to his paintings. On view until January 19, 2014.
