Exhibit: "Master Penworks of Tom Stefopoulos: The Hellenic Artist of the Lovejoy Columns"
May 20 to June 4
The exhibit is available during Capitol hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Athanasios (Tom) Efthimiou Stefopoulos was a factory worker, railroad man, commercial artist, and a champion penman. In 1945, while working as a crossing watchman under the Lovejoy Ramp of the Broadway Bridge in Portland, Oregon, the artist created the iconic “Lovejoy Columns.” This exhibition considers the range of Stefopoulos’ art, from pen drawings to the murals that graced the Lovejoy Columns.
