About the Exhibition

In the most comprehensive exhibition of Texas artist Tom Lea's (1907-2001) work to date, the Bullock Museum takes an in-depth look at a life and career that spanned the 20th century. Illustrations, paintings, murals, and writings together uniquely emphasize Lea's contributions to American art, his inspirations, and often the people he knew and loved. His work ultimately influenced how audiences viewed landscapes as diverse as Pacific battlegrounds and the American Southwest.

The exhibition, Tom Lea: Chronicler of 20th Century America, is a collaboration among the Bullock Texas State History Museum, the Tom Lea Institute, and the Texas State History Museum Foundation.
