Texas Treasures - Talk with Annette DiMeo Carlozzi June 18, 2009

Drawing from the extensive collections of these Austin institutions, Texas Treasures features more than two dozen masterworks of early Texas art that have been rarely available to the public. These seminal works express the breadth of Texas art: from the origins of classical portraiture and impressionist landscape painting in the nineteenth century, to the American Scene painting of the depression era, to the many interpretations of modernism at the mid-twentieth century.

There will be 3 free lectures at the Umlauf in conjunction with the Texas Treasures exhibit:

* May 28: Peter Mears, Associate Curator, Art Collection, Harry Ransom Center
* June 18: Annette DiMeo Carlozzi, Curator of American & Contemporary Art, Blanton Museum of Art
* July 16: Dana Friis Hansen, Director & Curator, Austin Museum of Art

Texas Treasures is presented by The Center for Study and Advancement of Early Texas Art in connection with its seventh annual symposium to be held at the AT&T Center on the University of Texas Campus on May 1 – 3.
