Strokes of Genius: Texas Impressionism highlights exemplary impressionist works from award-winning Texas artists from the late 1800s through the 1930s. This represents the second exhibition in the Texas Art Project series, an initiative supported by Bill and Linda Reaves to shine a spotlight on 20th-century Texas art. Works featured comprise selections from the Reaves collection, as well as from other important private and museum collections across the state.
With it’s ascent in the United States from about 1885 to 1920, Impressionism was brought to Texas by artists who had travelled to Europe and other parts of the U.S. Texas artist Emma Richardson Cherry described the “school” of impressionism as: “Pure prismatic effects of color, the brilliancy of day light, and vibration
of atmosphere are the points of this school of painting.”
See sweeping brushstrokes of Texas landscapes, fields of wildflowers, and people going about their daily lives in this homage to color, light, and atmosphere.”
