In recent years, scholarship on Texas Regionalism (or "Lone Star Regionalism") has largely centered around the artists associated with the legendary Dallas Nine, leaving out assessment of other Texas Regionalists working outside this urban center. One artist long overlooked is South Texas based painter and printmaker Emily Rutland (1890-1983) whose work developed alongside the trajectory of Texas Regionalism and into Modernism at mid-century. Having an opportunity to showcase selected works from the artist's estate in addition to several private collections, Reaves | Foltz Fine Art is proud to present the first reassessment of this incredible artist through a closer look at her career and artwork in this presentation of paintings and prints dating from the 1930s through the 1960s.
