InventoryCollection Number: 17411Building: Central LibraryCurrent Location: Annex (Joel's Office) Floor: 1st Object DescriptionArtist: Glen HansenArtist Dates: 1961- CurrentArtist Nationality: AmericanObject Type: OtherDetails: A graphite and oil on paper drawing of the upper colonnade of the First National Bank building. Framed: Yes - PlexiLength: 11 1/4 inchesWidth: 1 1/2 inchesHeight: 11 1/2 inchesDescription: This drawing focuses on the architectural detail surrounding the building's title, First National Bank, which is engraved in stone. The building, now the Central Branch of the Kansas City Public Library, is known for its ionic order columns emphasized in this drawing. The columns support the entablature, which includes the architrave, the frieze, and the cornice. Most of the detail in the drawing fades with distance, but not the American flag mounted on the rooftop. The flag was rendered in red, white and blue oil paint, distinctly contrasting the yellow paper behind it emboldening the significance of the building. On the artist's website, Glen Hansen describes his process of isolating detail in a landscape to reflect his real interest and often gravitates toward architecture set against the sky. The work was included in the 2011 exhibition "Just in Time" at the Fischbach Gallery.
