----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Texas Painters, Sculptors,and Graphic Artists: A Biographical Dictionary of Artists in Texas before 1942. By John and Deborah Powers. Foreword by Ron Tyler. In this May 9, 2000, release by Woodmont Books, the authors identify some = 3,800 artists who were active in Texas before the modern era that began with World= War II. These include the many familiar artists ordinarily associated with = Texas, such as Frank Reaugh, Tom Lea, Mary Bonner, Alexandre Hogue, Blanche = McVeigh, Forrest Bess, Dorothy Hood, and hundreds more. They are joined by such = artists as Georgia O'Keeffe who taught as a young woman in Amarillo and Canyon, = Isabel Cartwright (The Philadelphia Ten) who lived and worked in Terrell, Alpine, = El Paso, and Corpus Christi, Everett Shinn (The Eight) who painted in = Galveston, and Gutzon Borglum who designed his famous Mount Rushmore sculptures and = other works in his Breckenridge Park studio at San Antonio. The 600 pages of the book are a treasure trove of biographical and = professional information, exhibition records, public-collection locations, and extensive bibliographic references, all set forth in a user-friendly format. In two appendices, the authors describe the more important public and private art schools, museums, associations, and exhibitions of the pre-war period, illuminating particularly the art life of the state at the time of the Texas regionalist movement of the 1930s. Based solidly on numerous archival collections, exhibition catalogs, = reference works, monographs, periodicals, unpublished materials, and interviews with surviving artists and relatives of deceased artists, this is easily the most extensive and comprehensive reference work on early Texas art and artists. = The work fills a long-standing void in Texas history and will be useful to art = and history buffs alike.
