This book celebrates the Toledo Museum of Art's eminent fourth director, Otto Wittmann (1911-2001).

His 30 years in Toledo, from 1946 through 1976 (as director from 1959), saw the Toledo Museum of Art become internationally acclaimed for its collection and its community programs. Published in honor of the Museum's 100th anniversary in 2001.
