1961.112 Eisenlohr, Selma on the Cibolo


GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
Edward G. Eisenlohr's pencil drawings demonstrate his precision and control in this medium. The tonality created by his delicate linear hatch marks is as expressive as the gradations of color in oil paintings such as After the Cutting (1959.168). The meticulously rendered landscape views in Eisenlohr's sketchbook (1986.21) offer an early glimpse of his working methods. In his drawings, prints, and paintings, he depicted the landscape of North Texas and New Mexico before the urban expansion of the 1950s.

Heather MacDonald, DMA Gallery text, February 2009.

NOTES
Same general description used for all Eisenlohr drawings and his sketchbook. (1961.112, 1982.87, 1986.21, 1991.360.7, 1991.360.8, 1991.360.9, 1991.360.10)

Changed medium to pencil on paper

"On the Cibalo" is listed in the Eisenlohr Drawings exhibition. Could not confirm if this is the same work.

1961- same year as Eisenlohr's death. Did DMFA purchase this piece from a commemorative exhibition?
