And so it went for decades...

    German artists
  • German Artists Draw First Hill Country Images by Michael Barrn 12-1-22
    Had artists Hermann Lungkwitz and Richard Petri stayed in their native Germany, their names may have been buried under an avalanche of other artists with similar training and talent. Instead they came to Fredericksburg, where their drawings and paintings became some of the first pictorial records of the Texas Hill Country.

  • The sculptress and a paper mill by Bob Bowman
    We recently learned that Texas historian Light Cummings is writing a book about sculptress Allie Tennant of Dallas, who has an unusual link with East Texas. When the first paper mill to make newsprint from southern pine trees was built near Lufkin in the 1930s, Tennant was commissioned to develop a plaque bearing the likenesses of Charles Holmes Herty and Francis Patrick Garvan, who developed a method for separating the pine resin from the tree’s pulp...

    Examples of Wilson stoneware have been exhibited at the Witte Museum in San Antonio, the Institute of Texas Cultures in San Antonio, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. The Wilson Pottery Foundation, with its own museum, is dedicated to preserving the memory and works of Hiram and the other Wilsons who, in bondage and as free men, created durable and practical stoneware that today is worth more than what any of the Wilson potters made in a lifetime.

  • Subject: Old, Texas Cinemas
    I am an art teacher in the Dallas, Texas area. Last year I found your incredible website and used it for researching a project I designed for my students on old, Texas cinemas. The results of my 8th grade studio art project was recently featured in the professional art educator magazine, "School Arts" (April 2012). I write a blog about art and my post last week mentioned your fabulous website in conjunction with the information about my art project. I thought you'd like to know that I spoke so highly of your site. Please feel free to go to my blog (www.artteachtravel.com) and read the entry posted on April 8 called "Memories as Catalyst". Most sincerely, Anita Horton, April 13, 2012
