Those Who CAN Do, Teach

May 24–Sept. 11, 2022
J. Wayne Stark Galleries | Memorial Student Center, MSC 1110

 

Those Who CAN Do, Teach looks at the inspiring relationships between renowned artists and the students under their tutelage who also became noted in their own right. Examine works side-by-side to see how each artist influenced the other with style, technique, and familiarity. This exhibition features works from the Stark’s permanent collection, largely by Texas artists of the early and mid 20th century with deep roots in Houston and other Lone Star cities. Learn about both the teacher and students’ educational backgrounds and how they each came to share their gifts with the broader community and world.
