Fellowship Application, Lamar Baker, 1941-1943

Description
-
Correspondence between Lamar Baker and Rosenwald Fund staff, including William C. Haygood and Dorothy A. Elvidge. This file details the complete fellowship process for artist Lamar Baker, beginning with his multiple applications supported by numerous confidential reports and letters of recommendation. The review process involved an art jury, and the file contains telegrams coordinating the exhibition of his work at the Budworth Galleries for review by individuals such as Frank Mechau of Columbia University. Following the successful review in 1942, Baker was awarded a 1,500 dollars grant to travel and paint in the South, as documented in the official Statement of Offer and notification letter. The administration of the grant is tracked through extensive correspondence regarding payment schedules, address changes, and a series of twelve 125 dollars payment vouchers. The file also notes the challenges of travel and the threat of military induction during this period, and it concludes with Bakers application for a fellowship renewal.
