Did You Know?

William M. Milliken was director of the Cleveland Museum of Art from 1930 until 1958.

Description

Artist Clarence Carter photographed his friend, mentor, and patron William M. Milliken while the two returned by bus from the Century of Progress International Exposition to their Chicago hotel in 1933. Seven years later, he created this oil painting based on the earlier image. Although the photograph was taken during the day, Carter transformed the painting into a nighttime scene, adding dramatic fireworks.
