The St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist, Daniel Fitzpatrick, chronicled the progression of WWII as it happened with powerful and poignant editorial cartoons. An exhibit displaying Fitzpatrick's WWII cartoons is on display at the Center for Missouri Studies art gallery. A second installment of the yearlong exhibition will open on Saturday, Dec. 7, with an art curator walk-through at 1:30 p.m. led by Dr. Joan Stack. The second installment focuses on examples made between December of 1941 and the spring of 1943.
Before and after the tour patrons have the opportunity to view a one-day-only pop-up exhibit featuring WWII letters and other items related to the war from SHSMO’s manuscript collection. Light refreshments will be served in the lobby.
