Houston is known for its booming and vibrant art community, bolstered by a milieu of galleries, museums of world renown, and artists that have established a firm foundation for the art scene of our great Bayou City! This cultural phenomenon can be credited to the emergence of modernism in Texas during the mid-twentieth century. Houston artists helped propel this cultural uprising through their original adaptation of predominant American modernist artistic currents. Thus, a vivacious period of abstraction blossomed in Texas, nourished by the dominant role Houston artists played not only in creating artistic masterpieces, but in the education of future generations of artists. Three pivotal figures during this period include Dorothy Hood, Leila McConnell, and Stella Sullivan. William Reaves Fine Art is honored to present this exhibition featuring these three stellar artists – shown together for the first time in our Houston gallery!
