Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Ponca City, Oklahoma, Bob Camblin (1928-2010) was an artist, first and foremost. He earned his BFA and MFA degrees from the Kansas City Art Institute. His studies were followed by a Fulbright Fellowship that allowed him a year’s stay in Italy. Returning to the USA, he held teaching positions at the Ringling Museum, the University of Illinois, Detroit Mercy, and the University of Utah before moving to Houston in 1967 to teach at Rice’s new art department. He was active in Houston during the late 1960s through the 1980s, collaborating with Earl Staley and Joe Tate on many projects, including “happenings” on the beach in Galveston. His career led him to creative undertakings all over the world. Throughout his lifetime he constantly experimented with various art media. He remained open to new ideas and new techniques until his death in Louisiana in 2010. Camblin was a central figure in the period of artistic fermentation in Houston that is now beginning to receive increasing critical attention. He chose Rowland to be his historian while still at Rice, and her insights into him are based on many personal letters and conversations. In addition, she is a trained art historian and brings to bear professional expertise about his place in regional and American art. Her work includes a useful timeline of Camblin’s exhibitions and major artworks.

Book excerpt: American-born painter Bob Camblin has achieved considerable acclaim with his oeuvre of elegant and humanistic modern art. Bob Camblin: N Compleat Workes examines this 20th century master's career, the origins and development of his body of work, including the artist's early drawings, paintings, sketchbook ruminations, and folklore. Camblin's personal journey from a small Oklahoma oil town through years of experience and self-discovery, both stateside and abroad, and who dubbed Venice to be his "Emerald City," led to this sharing of a lifetime of philosophy on canvas. Beginning at an early age with both parents interested in painting and drawing, he inadvertently began his career as the art director of his local high school newsletter. Attending the Kansas City Art Institute gave him the intellectual expansion and opportunity to take advantage of a variety of professors, among whom was Tom Cavanaugh who was instrumental in urging him to give a try at new techniques and mediums. Both were awarded Fulbright Scholarships to Italy. After being awestruck by what he saw at The Uffizi Gallery and at The Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, he began a career as artist and teacher that spanned an ever-evolving creative lifetime. A catalog raisonneur, detailed biography, and bibliography complete this monograph, the foremost authority on the work of Bob Camblin.

Book excerpt: At the close of the 1980s, and free from the commercial constraints of signing his own name to artwork and gallery representation, he immersed himself in his vision of art. Camblin took working trips to Paris, Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands creating an even broader series of paintings, watercolors, and pen/ink drawings he called DRAWritings. This monograph explains through drawings what one artist saw in the late 20th century.

Book excerpt: Winner, 2019 Ron Tyler Award for Best Illustrated Book, sponsored by the Texas State Historical Association (TSHA) In this expansive and vigorous survey of the Houston art scene of the 1970s and 1980s, author Pete Gershon describes the city’s emergence as a locus for the arts, fueled by a boom in oil prices and by the arrival of several catalyzing figures, including museum director James Harithas and sculptor James Surls. Harithas was a fierce champion for Texan artists during his tenure as the director of the Contemporary Arts Museum–Houston (CAM). He put Texas artists on the map, but his renegade style proved too confrontational for the museum’s benefactors, and after four years, he wore out his welcome. After Harithas’s departure from the CAM, the chainsaw-wielding Surls established the Lawndale Annex as a largely unsupervised outpost of the University of Houston art department. Inside this dirty, cavernous warehouse, a new generation of Houston artists discovered their identities and began to flourish. Both the CAM and the Lawndale Annex set the scene for the emergence of small, downtown, artist-run spaces, including Studio One, the Center for Art and Performance, Midtown Arts Center, and DiverseWorks. Finally, in 1985, the Museum of Fine Arts presented Fresh Paint: The Houston School, a nationally publicized survey of work by Houston painters. The exhibition capped an era of intensive artistic development and suggested that the city was about to be recognized, along with New York and Los Angeles, as a major center for art-making activity. Drawing upon primary archival materials, contemporary newspaper and magazine accounts, and over sixty interviews with significant figures, Gershon presents a narrative that preserves and interweaves the stories and insights of those who transformed the Houston art scene into the vibrant community that it is today.

Book excerpt: Just when the Renaissance painters began to figure out their trade, along came neoclassicism and its new theories. This in turn was upended by Romanticism which was eventually eclipsed by the introduction of Modern art. It didn¿t take long for Modern art to give way to Contemporary art. It is within this milieu that we find this retrospective ¿ 136 pieces that cover almost all the movements from Dada to Post-Impressionism.
