An Artist's Tribute To Texas, 1910-1977
Pictures by E. M. (Buck) Schiwetz
Selected under the Direction of John Lindsey
INTRODUCTION BY R. HENDERSON SHUFFLER
NOTES BY THE ARTIST WITH JOHN EDWARD WEEMS
"I hope to leave behind me," Buck Schiwetz once said, "a col-
lection of indigenous paintings which will faithfully portray
Texas as it is." This book presents the proof of his success. The
48 color plates and the 48 black-and-white plates are selections
of his work in many styles and media, from a period of over
half a century. They depict the full range of the Texas scene
and are a summation of sixty years of striving by one of Texas's
best-known and best-loved artists to show us the beauties he
finds in his native state. Buck Schiwetz brings to the common-
place-even to old abandoned houses and mouldering historical
landmarks to which he has a special devotion-a beauty, charm,
and dignity to be appreciated and cherished by all.
