In the early decades of the 20th century, the small Kansas community of McPherson experienced such a renaissance of art and culture that the prestigious International Studio magazine proclaimed that per-capita art ownership there was higher than anywhere in the world. The man behind the movement was Carl Smalley, the son of a seed store owner whose passion for original art was fueled by a visit to the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. At the heart of the art oasis on the prairie was a friendship between Smalley and artist Birger Sandzen. Their collegial enthusiasm was the backbone of annual exhibitions that attracted more than half the population to see works by artists such as Rembrandt, Whistler, Manet, Joseph Pennell, Gustave Baumann, Robert Henri, George Bellows, Thomas Hart Benton and members of the Prairie Print Makers. School children and graduating classes collected money to buy original art, and the seeds sowed during that era can still be seen on the walls of the McPherson public schools as well as museums, colleges, office buildings, libraries and private collections.
