The National Scouting Museum in Irving, Texas, is very fortunate to have a permanent collection of Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) paintings. The seventeen paintings are displayed in a special gallery along with other paintings by Joseph Csatari (b 1929) and drawings by Remington Schuyler (1884-1955). The National Scouting Museum owns the largest collection of scouting art work by Rockwell. The scouts might own the largest collection of Rockwell paintings outside Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
Wow! Now this is an art exhibit. Private Universes at the Dallas Museum of Art is a stunning show of conceptual, post-modern and contemporary art.

I have seen Willie Doherty: Requisite Distance at the Dallas Museum of Art and I liked it. I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Doherty this week and listen to his explanation of the art. The artist would like you, the viewer, to see the show without any preconceptions about the subject matter, but I think that would take away the true appreciation for the art.
Dallas Art News got a preview of the exhibits to succeed King Tut at the Dallas Museum of Art. They are Willie Doherty: Requisite Distance and Private Universes.

For those of you who are Roadshow regulars, you know the illustrious guest is none other than legendary Kentucky statesman Henry Clay (1777-1852).
