Tennessee State Museum Collection (2023.8.1), Gift of Robert H. ![]() Bodo offered this painting as a concept for a mural for the Sunday School Board, but the mural was never commissioned. He worked at the Baptist Sunday School Board as an illustrator, contributing to newsletters, curriculum books and other publications. Sandor Bodo (1920-2013) was a prolific artist who came to Nashville in the 1950s as a refugee from Hungary. The building, which was called Sullivan Tower, served various roles for the Southern Baptist Convention until its demolition in 2018. Sullivan, president of the board from 1953 to 1975, is shown speaking to the crowd. Recently donated by friends of the artist, this painting by Sandor Bodo depicts the ceremonial laying of the cornerstone of the Baptist Sunday School Building in downtown Nashville around 1940.
