MEET AN AUGUSTAN
"I am grateful to the arts
and cultural community in
Augusta for continuing to
demand excellence and
for pushing the needle
forward. ... The community
keeps me inspired, always
looking for something
different, unusual, inspiring, thought-provoking,
surprising." -Kristi Jilson,
executive director,
Westobou art gallery
and annual festival
EXPERIENCE THIS
The Morris Museum of Art showcases and celebrates the art and artists of the American South. Its
collection includes many highly acclaimed works about the region and by Southern artists. Here's
some mysterious inside scoop to file away for your visit.
Two celebrated Southern works are entitled The Start and The Finish. The two companion pieces,
painted by artists Robert Wadsworth Grafton and Louis Oscar Griffith, were commissioned by the
St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans, where they hung as focal points of the men's cafe for much of the
early 1900s.
After the hotel's demolition in the 1970s, the beloved pieces went missing. Collectors discovered
one of the works in a warehouse post-Katrina, miraculously unscathed from the damaging elements
of the torrential storm. The Morris Museum acquired what was sold to them as The Start at auction
in 2006. Over time and with the help of the most discerning art experts, the museum staff discovered
the paintings had been misidentified in a 1917 article - and that the museum, in fact, owns The
Finish. Today, the location of the The Start remains a mystery. You can gaze upon its companion,
pictured at right, at the museum in historic downtown Augusta.
The annual Westobou
Festival goes way
beyond art to include
rides, performances,
and more.
