About the Book

A significant collection of Texas paintings and prints hangs humbly and inconspicuously throughout the offices, conference rooms, and hallways of Texas A&M University Press. These works comprise the Frank H. Wardlaw Collection of Texas Art, named in honor of the Press's founding director, who was one of the genuine publishing icons of his day.

Established in 1983 at the dedication of the new headquarters of Texas A&M University Press on the campus of Texas A&M, the collection began with twenty inaugural contributions that came as gifts from respected Texas artists whose art appeared in the books Wardlaw had shepherded to publication at the Press. Since then, the collection--which continues to be linked to artists published by the Press--has grown to house more than one hundred paintings, photographs, and illustrations. Among the noted artists featured in the collection are E. M. (Buck) Schiwetz, Otis Dozier, Michael Frary, Everett Spruce, Emily Guthrie Smith, Jerry Bywaters, and, among more recent additions, Dorothy Hood and Richard Stout.

Through interviews with longtime staff and research into the Press's book files and correspondence, William and Linda Reaves have uncovered the captivating history of this unlikely collection. In A Book Maker's Art, they present the freshly assembled story of the Wardlaw collection, from its modest yet unique beginning to its present-day status as one of the university's excellent collections of Texas art, reflecting the exceptional bond of arts and letters that has come to distinguish Texas A&M University Press.
About the Author: WILLIAM E. REAVES is the author, coauthor, or coeditor of three books, including Texas Art and a Wildcatter's Dream and Of Texas Rivers and Texas Art. LINDA J. REAVES is coeditor, with William E. Reaves, of Sense of Home: The Art of Richard Stout. The Reaveses are longtime supporters of Texas art and artists and serve as coeditors of the Joe and Betty Moore Texas Art Series. They live in Houston.
