The Dutch Art Gallery Dallas, Texas

By Adrienne Balkum

Ben and Ann Massar established the Dutch Art Gallery, Inc. in 1965 after migrating their family from Holland, The Netherlands. The family business was named in honor of their home country.

Ben and Ann wanted to provide a service oriented business that would offer a European flair in the growing Dallas art culture, so they introduced fine art and custom framing to the Metroplex. Over the course of 48 years, the Dutch Art Gallery has been located in the heart of Lake Highlands in the Northlake Shopping Center off of Northwest Highway in northeast Dallas.

In 1990, Ben and Ann made the decision to retire and have their daughter-in-law, Pam Massar, manage the gallery. Now with their passing, their son Hans and his wife Pam continue to operate the gallery now deeply rooted in generations of Lake Highlands families and the Dallas area, still continuing to offer the same excellent customer service and quality fine art inspired by Ben and Ann Massar.

As the art industry evolves with new styles and creative artists, Hans and Pam strive to accommodate all art lovers’ desires. The Gallery continues to present new images, styles and designs, but still holds on to a bit of the European touch and traditional artwork.

The Massar’s have appreciated their loyal customer relationships and friendships formed over the past forty-eight years.

“Whether it is art collecting or custom framing needs, we will strive to provide excellent service for our customers.” Pam Massar.

Visiting The Dutch Art Gallery is like stepping into yesterday’s humble world, blocking out busy noise, cars and computers. You are immediately surrounded with art. Your senses come alive with imagination. Subtle tones of landscapes beckon you to walk through their moment and spend some time in meditation. Sunsets and waterscapes remind you of a simpler time when you stopped to look at the real thing. Colorful flower paintings seem to emit fragrance as you walk past their brilliant compositions. Animals charge across your path challenging you to engage, while horses call to you to ‘saddle’ up and ride in the wind. European village scenes and Tuscan villas awaken your sense of travel. The Dutch Art Gallery is a place filled with experience and inspiration. http://DutchArtGallery.net

WINTER LANDSCAPE by Hendrik Altmann 1838

Judging for the Artists of Texas Show will be based on the overall impact of the work. Our jury panel includes Hans and Pam Massar with Derrill Osborn, Art Collector and Dallas Style Icon. He is a Neiman Marcus legend who influenced fashion, introduced Italian menswear lines and the three-piece suit. After retirement he auctioned his vast bovine collection that was assembled over a lifetime. Mr. Osborn’s passions for interesting themes in art and antiques will be notable to see what his keen eye reveals. Our fourth juror is a former Vietnam Veteran, retired Cardiac Pulmonary Technician and Philanthropist, Tom Russell. When he breaks away from being a lumberjack or gold mining he enjoys expanding his exquisite art collection. We look forward to hearing what our fascinating panel of judges will decide and the details of what significantly captivated them the most.

Highly Collected Sculptures. The War Party, by Carl Kauba 1860 - 1922. The five figure group depicts an Indian War Party in full charge. Kauba’s detail and action is so strong, any one of these figures could stand alone and not lose perspective. As a group of five, the detail and action are almost overwhelming. The group features Kauba’s rare, polychrome patina, 14” high, 26” long 6 3/4” wide including plinth.
