PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As he approached 80 years old, author Orlando Emil Peters felt that there is still another part of his father's work that was left undone and that is his life as a museum artist. His research resulted in the release of "The Museum Artist," (published by Xlibris) a book that explains historical events that took place during the 1700s to the end of the 1800s throughout the United States.
This book is about an artist, Cal N. Peters who spent his entire life portraying historic events through murals, paintings and dioramas for museums with historical captions of the event emphasizing the artist's application of this event. It includes a section about the construction of the diorama and why it is different as so many depths of field, portrait paintings of individuals throughout history and sculpture of prominent people who are in the diorama. Readers will also find photos of his tools that made these pieces of art.
"This book will appeal to anyone and everyone that has a keen interest in American history through creative art," Peters says. "It depicts patriotic events that occurred in past history for us to view throughout museums."
Living his life with his father who was "The Museum Artist," Peters hope readers will comprehend in depth the museum artist and the knowledge he must possess to create the task and portray history through the medium of art.
