This fall, the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is proud to present “Ode to East Texas: The Art of Lee Jamison” in the Main Gallery, and “Jose Cisneros: A Colorful World in Black and White” in the Cole Gallery. Huntsville artist Lee Jamison spent more than a year exploring, sketching and journaling his way through East Texas. The result is a rich record of the land and culture as viewed through the eyes of an accomplished painter. As you wander through the Main Gallery you’ll find yourself transported in a sensory expedition, feeling the rhythm of life that beats within the heart of East Texas. Jose Cisneros was born in Mexico in 1910, and moved to the United States when he was 15. With a focus on the rugged and iconic horsemen of Texas, Cisneros transports us to a bygone era where the wild frontier was tamed by the fearless and skilled riders of the West. President George W. Bush collected Cisneros’ work; Cisneros was also knighted by Pope John Paul II and by King Juan Carlos of Spain. Both exhibitions open September 26, 2023 and continue through January 6, 2024. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information visit pearlmfa.org.
