Meadows Museum will feature “Lone Star Legacy: 40 Years of Art” July 15-October 14, 2007, from the University Art Collection (UAC). “Lone Star Legacy” focuses on the works of contemporary Texas artists, including those affiliated with SMU, such as art professor Barnaby Fitzgerald, alumnus John Alexander (’70) and sculptor and former professor James Surls. The exhibition celebrates a 2006 gift of 19 works from Houston collector William J. Hill, including Luis Jiménez’s color lithograph “Southwest Pieta,” 1983. The UAC comprises works of art that belong to SMU apart from the Meadows Museum collection. The collection contains works from former M.F.A. students in the Division of Art, as well as early Texas regionalists, including the late SMU professor Jerry Bywaters, Otis Dozier, Everett Spruce and William Lester.
