Robert Marshall Root: Something More Than Praise
In the Spring of 2006, Millikin University organized the largest retrospective exhibition of art by the talented, yet lesser-known, regional artist from Shelbyville, Illinois, Robert Marshall Root (1863-1937). The exhibition and text were formulated to provide a broader perspective of his talent, while revealing his sense of intellectual honesty, his non-conforming belief system and his valiant quest to rise above mediocrity in his artistic expression. Based on new research, Professor Walker includes a bold proclamation in the text that Root was indeed and American Tonalist, unrecognized by the art establishment.
