About This Item
College Station: Texas A & M University Press, 2015. First Edition. FINE/fine. 298pp., lengthy bibliography, notes, index. Gilt spine titles, blue cloth, color dj in archival mylar.
At Fair Park in Dallas, a sculpture looms above visitors as they step into the portico of the imposing Hall of State. The Native American figure, bronze with gilded gold leaf, strains a bow before sending an arrow into flight. This sculpture, Tejas Warrior, has welcomed thousands of visitors to Fair Park since the Texas Centennial Exposition opened in the 1930. The piece is iconic and instantly recognizable, yet few people know anything about its creator: Allie Victoria Tennant. Tennant belonged to a notable group of Texas artists who actively advanced regionalist art in the decades before WWII.
