Mixed Media on Denison's Main Street

Denison has long been a jumping-off point for outdoors enthusiasts enjoying nearby Lake Texoma. Increasingly, art buyers (especially from the Dallas/Fort Worth area) come for art and attractions compressed into seven stroll-friendly blocks.

New at the McNay

Since 1954, when the Marion Koogler McNay Art Institute (now the McNay Art Museum) opened in an elaborately tiled Spanish Colonial Revival mansion a few miles north of downtown San Antonio, art-lovers have relished the opportunity to view the works collected by one of Texas’ most influential philanthropists. On June 7, the McNay Art Museum hosted a weekend-long celebration of its new Jane and Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions, a sleek, low-slung, light-filled building designed by European urbanist Jean-Paul Viguier, whose contemporary aesthetic is responsible for some of the most stunning aspects of modern-day Paris.

Impressive at the Kimbell 

According to Dr. Malcolm Warner, the acting director of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, the Impressionists—the renowned revolutionaries of the 19th-Century art world—were keen observers of modern life. So when we look at their paintings, it’s easy to construct stories based on what we observe. What are the people wearing and doing? How are they interacting? See for yourself: From June 29 through November 2, the Kimbell hosts The Impressionists: Master Paintings From the Art Institute of Chicago, a collection of 92 masterworks by such painters as Cézanne, Degas, Gauguin, van Gogh, Manet, Monet, Renoir, and Toulouse-Lautrec.
