Book
From 1950 to 1975, Houston grew from a rough-and-tumble city into a major American metropolis, and the arts grew along with it. Houston Reflections tells that story--of how the city grew into itself artistically--through the words of the artists themselves. The book brings together first-person accounts of Houston artists, art patrons, collectors, and enthusiasts as they remember their efforts to build a serious arts community and find their place in it. The book also includes over 50 color reproductions of the artists' work, and many more historic photographs from the era. Houston Reflections celebrates the years when Houston became a crucible of Modernism, from the 1958 inauguration of the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe pavilion at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, to the opening of the Rothko Chapel and the Contemporary Arts Museum in the early 1970s. Thanks to Sally Reynolds' efforts, we have an indelible record of this dynamic era, offered by Houston artists who frame their own experiences against the backdrop of a changing city. A brilliant archival project, Houston Reflections will be a resource for generations to come. --Alison de Lima Greene, Curator, Contemporary Art & Special Projects, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Purchasers wishing to receive the accompanying audio CD, playable on personal computer, should contact Fred Moody at fred.moody@rice.edu.
