Miles and Miles of Texas: The Lone Star State Through the Eyes of Buck Schiwetz
Edward Muegge (Buck) Schiwetz (1898-1994) was one of Texas’s most famous watercolorists. He never met a piece of architecture-especially Texas architecture-he didn’t like. From privies to palaces, from water-towers to windmills, he drew and painted them all. He aligned his work with the preachings of architects David R. Williams and O’Neil Ford whose “manuscripts” about Texas architecture Schiwetz “illuminated” via his paintings and drawings.
This is a catalog from a 2009 exhibit presented by the Center for the Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art (CASETA) and The Heritage Society. The catalog has 68 images of Buck Schiwetz’s work.
