NOTES
Though Waste Lands is diminutive in size, its artist, Halsey Cooley Ives, had a monumental effect on St. Louis. Ives was the founding director of the St. Louis School and Museum of Fine Arts. For three decades he led the Museum with a strong belief that “art should be a matter of everyday enjoyment and use to every . . . man, woman, and child.”
