"Texas Painters, Sculptors & Graphic Artists: A Biographical Dictionary of Artists in Texas Before 1942, with a forward by Ron Tyler, is the most extensive and comprehensive reference book on artists who worked in Texas before the modern era that began with World War II. Authors John and Deborah Powers include some 3,800 artists in the 606-page book, which distills a great mass of information obtained over fourteen years from archival collections, exhibition catalogs, reference works, monographs, periodicals, unpublished materials, and interviews and correspondence with living artists and relatives of deceased artists.
In addition to extensive biographical and bibliographical information, the book includes two important appendices. The first describes the more popular institutions, inside and outside Texas, where Texas artists obtained training in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The second appendix describes the more important and longer lasting museums, associations, and exhibitions around which the art life of the state centered in the years before 1942.
Dealers, collectors, historical societies, libraries, researchers, and museums have found it exceedingly difficult to piece together something about most of the artists who made up the mosaic of early Texas art. Learning about them has become much easier and simpler with the publication of Texas Painters, Sculptors & Graphic Artists."
