Parks found that a camera was the best way to pursue social justice and combat inequality. The exhibition shows his range of subjects: from the train station and ball park in his hometown of Fort Scott to the streets of Paris at night as well as portrayals of poverty and iconic portraits of Muhammad Ali and Duke Ellington.

The 15th child of poor black tenant farmers in Fort Scott, Parks was a self-taught photographer who began his career working for the Farm Security Administration in Washington, D.C., and went on to become the first black staff photographer at LIFE magazine, producing powerful photo essays for more than 20 years. Parks’ work with photographs led to film, and the artist wrote and directed such notable movies as “The Learning Tree” (based on his autobiography) and “Shaft.” In addition, he wrote fiction, nonfiction and poetry, and composed the music for “Martin,” a ballet honoring

Norman Rockwell: Chronicling America in Art An exhibition of works by Norman Rockwell, who translated the hopes and dreams of an American generation onto canvas, will be on display at the Wichita Art Museum March 7-May 30. “American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell” includes 40 oil paintings and pencil works from the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass.

Rockwell honed his pictorial storytelling skills while creating illustrations for magazines. His nostalgic paintings set in an oftenidealized America propelled him from the stable of Saturday Evening Post illustrators to being recognized as one of the country’s best loved and most recognized artists.

Rockwell was a visual storyteller whose paintings reflected 65 years of American culture. The exhibition traces the evolution of his art from his painted reflections on childhood innocence to the realities of a segregated South.

Included are some of the artist’s signature works: “No Swimming,” “Christmas Homecoming” and “Triple Self-Portrait,” as well as his depiction of school desegregation, “The Problem We All Live With.” Also included are images of his Saturday Evening Post covers, which played a large part in popularizing his work.

A reception for the Rockwell exhibition

is planned for Final Friday March 26. The museum is open daily except Monday.

Admission is free on Saturdays. Call 2684921 for more information.

Old Cowtown finishes log cabin restoration Five months of restoration was completed on a 19th-century log cabin and dedicated at Old Cowtown Museum last fall. The cabin is considered one of the top 10 intact structures in the country from the settlement period, according to David Flask, Cowtown executive director.

“It is also one of our best documented properties because it was photographed, measured and sketched and all of its parts were numbered before it was dismantled and brought here,” he said.

The top 10 ranking was given to the cabin by Douglass C. Reed of Preservation Associates in Hagerstown, Md., who originally assessed the structure in 2002. Reed is a nationally known preservationist, author and historian.

The Cowtown board funded and oversaw efforts to move the Heller Cabin from Elmo, Kan. to Cowtown, and return it as closely as possible to its original state. The 1870s cabin, located just behind the Visitor’s Continued on page 4.

Center, was donated to Cowtown by the estate of Wichita resident Donna B. Heller.

The cabin was built by Civil War veteran Leonhard Hoffman, who expertly cut and pieced the logs together. Aspects of its construction, including notching and flooring, are different from that of Cowtown’s Munger House or the Trapper’s Cabin, both of which are log cabins built during the same time period in Sedgwick County.

Cowtown hours until April 15 are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, and after that are 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, the Wichita Center for the Arts is the area’s oldest and most comprehensive visual and performing arts organization. The Center for the Arts Gallery produces 12 exhibitions per year in addition to four national juried shows annually. The exhibitions focus on regional artists and feature the disciplines taught at the Mary R. Koch School of Visual Arts. Upcoming exhibitions include Pastel National 2010, which will be on display March 19-May 16. A pastel workshop is planned for March 18-20 with juror Doug Dawson, a member of the Pastel Society of America Hall of Fame. The Irene Vickers Baker Theatre produces four productions a year; spring performances are “Butler County,” by Wichita native Dean Corrin, which will be presented Feb. 17-21, and the classic play “Picnic,” by William Inge April 21-25.

The Creative Child Center Preschool is one of the few arts-based preschools for 3- to 5-year-olds in the state. The gallery is open 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday–Sunday and admission is free. Check the website for 90th-anniversary event updates.
