Description
Summary:The last decade has seen a resurgence of interest in Frank Reaugh, through gallery shows, exhibitions, and a documentary. Despite his importance and this growing public profile, 'Rounded Up in Glory' is the first full-length biography of the plein air artist. Michael Grauer argues for Reaugh's importance as more than just a "longhorn painter". Reaugh also earned the title of Renaissance man by inventing a folding easel that was easily packed, and developing a formula for pastels, which he marketed. A founder of the Dallas Art Society, which became the Dallas Museum of Art, Reagh was central to Dallas and Oak Cliff artistic circles for many years.--
