FOREWORD Texas artists are appearing in important national exhibitions w ith increasing frequency and distinction. The an nua l T exas General E xhibition has been one of th e most sign ificant compet itive proving grounds for the artis ts of the St at e. In th is Sixt h T exas General Exhibition, some of the leading ar tists are not represented because of their active participation in t he war effort, but the exhibit indicates that T exas art is maint aining its steady development and m an y young artists are in trod uced. The three museums who ori ginated this exhibit ion in 1939 and have assem bled it since that time, this year welcome th e Universi ty of Texas as an additional annual sponsor of the show. For the current exhibition, 175 a rt ist s submitted 296 works to a jury composed of artists and art directors. From this number, 105 wo rks by 93 artists were selected to make this exhibit one of the largest. Last year 's exhibition established a record for sales, and the growing interest in this an nual art competition should find many works from this show being acquired by Texas coll ectors .
Dir ect or, Dallas Mus eum of Fine Arts.
