Revisiting "Texas Artists and Their Art"
Becky Duval Reese’s “Texas Artists and Their Art” –her first Zoom delivered course-- was outstanding!
The six-week course included three slide lectures presented by Becky covering the range and diversity of styles in 19th-21st century art created by Texas-based artists. Interspersed with the slide lectures were tours/discussions of...
• the newly expanded and renovated Wittliff Collection () with a focus on the Southwestern and Mexican Photography Collection conducted by Carla Ellard, Photography Archivist for the Wittliff.
• the studio of David Everett ( ) who focuses primarily on wood sculptures, woodcuts, along with bronzes and works on paper; and
• the Flatbed Press () by owner Katherine Brimberry- Owner/Director and Master Printer of fine art.
The gestalt of this most interesting course was an elevated sense of pride in the past and ongoing work of our Texas visual artists!
