1952.16 Tennant, Portrait of E.G. Eisenlohr | DMA Staging Content Management System

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Sculpted when he was seventy-eight years old, this portrait commemorates Edward G. Eisenlohr's career as a pioneering Texas landscapist. It is also an example of an artist creating a portrait of a fellow artist. Both Allie Victoria Tennant and Eisenlohr are important figures in the history of art in Dallas and the evolution of the Dallas Museum of Art. She was a well-known, award-winning sculptor and teacher. He produced over one thousand drawings, prints, and paintings of the city and surrounding terrain in the first half of the 20th century.

NOTES

This note was tagged #routed in June 2015 and Sue's revisions (in a Word doc created by ASG) have been applied to the note as of October 2015. As of January 2017 I am adding the #draft tag to this note so that it is harvested to Google Drive. Once I am sure that all pending TMS or Piction data entry is complete, I will remove the #routed tag, add the #complete tag, and move the Google Doc to Queta's folder so that it is not re-routed to Sue.

Removed TMS object tag because rule exists.

I erased the 1990 exhibition information from the exhibition history text entry field because it already appears in the exhibition module of TMS.

This portrait may be related to the 1950 exhibition of Eisenlohr's work at the DMFA? (E.G. Eisenlohrn Paintings, 19 November- 10 December, 1950.)

Added Eisenlohr to constituents as DEPICTED INDIVIDUAL.
