It meant that for lots of Earlier Houston Artists too, so June seems like a good time to do an At the Shore issue of the Newsletter. There will be Galveston and other Gulf Coast shores, of course, but our artists did a good job of getting around, so there will be quite a few more exotic shores too.

We are excited to announce this year’s theme: The Dallas Nine & Their Circle: Texas Art of the 1930s. This show will feature paintings from a small group of influential Texas artists who rejected European tradition and instead created a new style of art intended to capture the realities of everyday life in the southwest during the Great Depression. This is the first show dedicated strictly to The Dallas Nine & Their Circle in the DFW area since a major retrospective was held at the Dallas Museum of Art in 1985. Dr. Sam Ratcliffe, head of the Bywaters Special Collections Wing of the Harmon Arts Library at Southern Methodist University, will speak during a pre-show program about The Dallas Nine and their impact on Texas art. The show is being curated by George Palmer and Konrad Shields, who are Directors of the Texas Art Collectors Association. The exhibition of art in this year’s show will include paintings from numerous Texas artists including Jerry Bywaters, Alexandre Hogue, Everett Spruce and Otis Dozier. The main exhibit opens for viewing at 7PM, along with live music from Western swing band Shoot Low Sherriff, heavy hors d’oeuvres & desserts based on Southern cooking traditions, and regional wine. DATE: Saturday, July 24th LOCATION: Turner House - 401 North Rosemont, Dallas, TX 75208 TIME: 6 – 7PM – Pre-Event Presentation on The Dallas Nine by Dr.

HETAG Newsletter No 26, October 2018 THE FESTIVAL OF EARLIER HOUSTON ART A year and a half ago some of us (rather naively) designated fall 2018 as The Festival of Earlier Houston Art. We weren’t quite sure what we meant by that, what the Festival would consist of or how we were going to accomplish it, but we had 18 months to do it, so no sweat. Well, the months flew by, and here we are in fall 2018. And, guess what, the Festival of Earlier Houston Art is a reality. Museums and galleries all over town are showing not just art that has been bought-&-brought to Houston (fabulous as that undoubtedly often is), but art MADE in Houston, by Houston artists, going back to the 1850s and coming up to the day just before Contemporary. This is a once-in-our-lifetime opportunity for Houstonians and visitors to Houston to see our own art – the art that is uniquely ours.

  • DALLAS (SMU) – Jerry Bywaters Cochran, Daughter of Renowned Texas Artist Jerry Bywaters, Has Donated 65 Works of Art to SMU, Including 49 by Jerry Bywaters
    GIFT OF TEXAS ART PRESENTED TO MEADOWS MUSEUM Contribution represents one of the largest gifts of art ever presented to the University DALLAS (SMU) – Jerry Bywaters Cochran, daughter of renowned Texas artist Jerry Bywaters, has donated 65 works of art to SMU, including 49 by Jerry Bywaters. The works of art feature a variety of subjects created over the length of Bywaters’ career in media ranging from oils and watercolors to pastels, graphite drawings and prints. Together with a bequest of additional works deeded to the museum, Mrs. Cochran’s contribution represents one of the largest gifts of art presented to the University. “This tremendous gift will enhance the University’s role in preserving the art of this region and will make the Meadows Museum the largest depository of works by Jerry Bywaters, considered one of Texas’ most important artists,” says Mark A. Roglán, director of Meadows Museum. “We are deeply grateful for Mrs. Cochran’s most thoughtful and generous gift.” The gift will become part of SMU’s University Art Collection, which includes Bywaters’ Where the Mountains Meet the Plains (1939), considered one of his greatest landscapes, and will significantly augment the museum’s holdings of Texas regionalist art, Roglán says. The new works of art will be exhibited at Meadows Museum this summer in The Collection of Calloway and Jerry Bywaters Cochran: In honor of a Lone Star Legend, June 3 through August 19, 2012. The art complements the Jerry Bywaters Collection on Art of the Southwest at SMU’s Hamon Arts Library, creating a Jerry Bywaters comprehensive view of the artist’s legacy.

  • Fame in the Abstract
    September 2016 Fame in the Abstract Dorothy Hood was one of Texas’s greatest artists, yet her work remains largely unknown. Now, sixteen years after her death, can her fans bring her the acclaim she never received in life? By Katy Vine Hood’s Copper Signal, oil on canvas, 1978–1979; Hood, photographed in Mexico City in the early forties. Copper Signal, 1978-1979, Oil on Canvas, 109 1/2” x 81”; Collection of the Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi; Photograph of Copper Signal: Lynda A J Jones; Portrait: Art Museum of South Texas Dorothy Hood had all the makings of an icon. One of Texas’s most talented artists, she was a stunning strawberry blonde with a fearless sense of adventure. In 1941, fresh out of art school, she drove her dad’s roadster to Mexico City and stayed there for most of the next 22 years, drawing and painting alongside Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Roberto Montenegro, and Miguel Covarrubias. Pablo Neruda wrote a poem about her paintings. José Clemente Orozco befriended and encouraged her. The Bolivian director and composer José María Velasco Maidana fell hard for her and later married her. And after a brief stretch in New York City, she and Maidana moved to her native Houston, where she produced massive paintings of sweeping color that combined elements of Mexican surrealism and New York abstraction in a way that no one had seen before, winning her acclaim and promises from museums of major exhibits. She seemed on the verge of fame. “She certainly is one of the most important artists from that generation,” said art historian Robert Hobbs.
