Texas Impressionism: Branding with Brushstroke and Color, 1885-1935
June 15 through September 8 | Russell Hill Rogers Texas Art Gallery Breaking the stereotypes about Texas artists in the American Impressionism movement, the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum’s Texas Impressionism exhibition shows how Texas artists contributed to American Impressionism, whether their works depicted Texas or not. Associate Director for Curatorial Affairs and Curator of Art Michael R. Grauer has chosen to rigidly adhere to a few Impressionist requirements for a painting to be included in the exhibition, namely the work must have been painted between 1885 and 1935, have a high-keyed palette bordering on and including the pastel colors and include active brushwork with short strokes applied quickly over the surface. Featured artists include Julian Onderdonk, Robert Onderdonk, José Arpa, Edward G. Eisenlohr, Ella Koepke Mewhinney, Dawson Dawson-Watson, Seymour Thomas, Lucien Abrams, E. Richardson Cherry and Frank Reaugh.
