Manet Portrait Stolen from Museum of Art
The entrance to a second floor portion of the University of Kansas Art Museum is marked in bold,black letters. "CLOSED."
THE MUSEUM IS TAKING extra precautions against further thefts, Prof. Stokstad said. She said student guards are patrolling the museum during the day. A full-time employee is seated at a desk near the museum entrance.
Two weeks ago, a valuable oil painting, "A Portrait of Line Campeanau," by Eduard Manet, a 19th century French painter, was stolen from behind this grey wooden barrier.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the aid of local and campus police, is assisting in the search for the missing painting. Prof. Stokstad said:
GERALD BERNSTEIN, museum curator, said the theft of the well-known picture is a personal loss to each student. "It is just as if someone entered your own home and stole something from the mantle."
"Every person dealing with artwork has been notified of the theft. Whoever took the picture is running a terrific risk. The painting has no resale value since it will be recognized by alerted art dealers."
Although the painting is insured for "thousands of dollars." Marilyn Stokstad, assistant professor of art history, says that "people in the art world are more interested in its safe return to the museum than its monetary value."
The Manet painting, which is a trial painting for the finished product in the Kansas City, Mo., Nelson Art Gallery, portrays a young girl. She was the daughter of a physician who treated Manet for an uncurable disease that slowly paralyzed his body. Manet finished the portrait six years before his death in 1883.
36 years ago.
Charles Curry of Mission, a KU
graduate, gave the painting to the
University in 1958. ___
