The publishing of The Museum Artist was to record the work of one artist who spent his entire life to the portrayal of history through the medium of museums throughout the United States. Born in Monterrey, California to Helen Marie Hall Peters and Cal N. Peters, both artist and my mother author, artist. After several advanced art schools and a stay in the military I spent most of my life as a graphic designer, illustrator and art director in Southern California. When my father was gone I put away his informative writings, and the records that my mother had kept for so many years. As I approached eighty I felt that was left undone, his life as the Museum Artist. My first contact was the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Amazed at the never forgotten attitude and his place in the archives. The first 33 foot long mural has been over the main entrance of Harvey Hall since 1935. The University has a commemoration of the school in 2014-15 and part will be student essays about Cal N. Peters life, work and paintings. As a recent quote from a staff member his presence is still felt in the halls of this University. It is no wonder that I should author The Museum Artist. This book authenticates his work from museum to museum for more than eighty-five years.
