Texans and Art

For all you with a consuming interest in everything Texas, the state's art museums got a very favorable write-up by Richard Dorment in the Telegraph. He likes both the buildings and their contents.

He does seem to have low opinions of Charlie Russell's and Frederick Remington's stuff at the Amon Carter Museum, tho: "(ghastly) wild west paintings and sculptures." Philistine. And lest one be overawed with all the tony-ness:

Finally, I have to say how much fun Texas is. For all their sophistication don't suppose for a moment that these cities are all about high culture. In Fort Worth, my visit to Billy Bob's, The World's Largest Honky Tonk, and my guided tour of the sublime Cowgirl Museum by beautiful former singer with the Dixie Chicks, Laura Lynch Tull, were two of the highlights of an unforgettable week.
