Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Charles Franklin "Frank" Reaugh / Michael R. Grauer -- The education of Frank Reaugh / Rebecca E. Lawton -- Frank Reaugh : artist of the American West / B. Byron Price -- The last big picture show / Peter F. Mears -- A continuing presence / Susie Kalil -- Frank Reaugh as inventor / Kenneth M. Grant Artist, educator, inventor, and naturalist, Charles Franklin Reaugh (1860 1945), pronounced Ray, is one of the Southwest s earliest and most distinguished artists. Working in the vein of American Impressionism, Reaugh devoted his career to visually documenting the immense unsettled regions of the Southwest before the turn of the twentieth century. Drawing on more than one hundred artworks from the Harry Ransom Center s Frank Reaugh collection, as well as public and private collections across the state, the book examines Reaugh s mastery of the pastel medium and his sophisticated yet direct approach to landscape painting, particularly the challenges of painting outdoors. Born in Illinois, Reaugh arrived in Texas by covered wagon in 1876 at the age of fifteen and, by the early 1880s, was sketching scenes while riding with cattlemen during the height of Texas s historic roundups. The shimmering opalescent color of the vast southwestern plains became a lifelong subject of study for Reaugh, as did the native longhorn, the main protagonist in his visual narrative of the West. |
