This exhibition will feature 15 paintings by renowned early Texas artist Edward G. Eisenlohr on loan from a private collection. Eisenlohr produced more drawings and paintings of his local Dallas community and region than any other early Dallas artist and is considered one of the pioneer landscape painters of Texas. The paintings identify Eisenlohr’s stylistic evolution, as well as his diverse visual exploration of the pastoral Texas landscape. These locations include areas surrounding his Dallas home, Austin, the Hill Country, and Galveston, Texas.
