Notes |
This collection is from the painting studio of the late Kentucky artist, Malcolm Arnett, of Corydon, Ky. Arnett was a painter, author, and print maker who trained at the Kansas City Art Institute under Thomas Hart Benton. He fought in World War II, but returned to Corydon in 1942 to help his father with the family farm. He stayed to farm, paint, and make prints until his death in 1991. His works are known nationally. This collection was part of the Maralea Arnett estate, Malcolm's sister, and was originally given to the Capitol Art Gallery. It was transferred to the Kentucky Historical Society in 1999. Some of the brushes, pencils and tools were found on the art table where Arnett left them. |
