The Old Jail Art Center resumes its Texas Moderns series, highlighting creative mid-twentieth-century visual artists whose works were often inventive or experimental, yet not fully accepted by the general population in Texas more accustomed to traditional forms or styles of art. For this iteration, the OJAC presents over 75 works by Fort Worth Circle artist Dickson Reeder (1912-1970). The exhibition provides an extensive overview of Reeder’s versatility, demonstrating his artistic skill and passion for creating emotive portraits, dynamic abstractions, and experimental prints.
