Southwestern Collection
An exhibition of photographs entitled "Windows in Time: The Photo-
graphic History of Fort Worth," opened March 15 and continues
through August 15 on the sixth floor of the Central Library at the Uni-
versity of Texas at Arlington. The exhibit includes diverse images that re-
flect the growth and development of Fort Worth from its days as a
Victorian-era prairie outpost to its present as a twentieth-century busi-
ness and financial center. There are rare images of early downtown Fort
Worth, including a portrayal of the century-long history of the Fort
Worth National Bank. The photographs are from the collection of Jack
White, a Fort Worth photographer and retired advertising and public re-
lations executive, and the exhibit includes some of his work as well as
historic and contemporary images he has collected throughout the
years. White has donated the collection to UT-Arlington's Special Col-
lections Division of the University Libraries to insure its preservation
and availability to students, researchers, and others who share his appre-
ciation for art and history. The exhibit may be viewed from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Monday through Friday and from to a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and
will likely be of interest to anyone interested in how Fort Worth became
what it is today.
"Sightings and Weather Prophets: The West Texas Landscapes of
Frank Reaugh" opened February 17 and continues through August 15 at
the Leeds Gallery on the fourth floor of the Flawn Academic Center, just
west of the Main Tower on the campus of the University of Texas at
Austin.
"Likeness and Landscape: The Daguerreotype Art of Thomas M. East-
erly" opened March 1 and continues through June 1 at the Amon Carter
Museum in Fort Worth. The exhibit features more than 1 oo examples of
the artist's work from the 184os through the 187os. Easterly maintained
a studio in the booming river town of St. Louis for more than three
decades and documented the egalitarian spirit of the frontier in studio
portraits and outdoor scenes. In addition to capturing images of daily
events, like parades and laborers in action, he also surveyed changes in
the St. Louis landscape over time, such as the leveling of an Indian bur-
ial mound and the deterioration of a picturesque lake into an industrial
sewer and health hazard. Lectures on the historical context of Easterly's
work and the modern use of the daguerreotype process are 10:3o a.m.
to noon April 26, followed by a daguerreotype workshop. Call the Edu-
cation Department at 817/738-1933, ext. 235 for reservations. Another
example of the historic use of photography is the exhibit "Black Digni-
ty," which continues at the museum through May 11. The sixty-odd1997
