Exhibits

Achievement in Art: The Albritton Collection

Claude Albritton has amassed one of the most comprehensive and encyclopedic collections of Texas art in private hands. With examples from early to contemporary Texas art, the Albritton collection follows a lineage of distinguished and influential artists working in the lone star state. Early examples include paintings by Julian Onderdonk, who is arguably most well-known for his celebrated landscape paintings that inspired the Texas bluebonnet genre.

Brian Cobble: Place and Time

Cobble began his career as an oil painter, but now works primarily in pastel. His work depicts the lonely and often barren urban and rural landscape in a photo-realistic manner. Fellow artist and friend, Roger Winter states, “Cobble sees the landscape superimposed with fences, artificial waterways, refineries, quickly installed human habitation projects, trailer parks, asphalt slabs, and on and on and on. He paints the outward signs of a mobile seminomadic human culture, a culture in constant change.”
