Protecting the Land

STATE of the ART Texas • We all know the saying—everything’s bigger in Texas. But you just can’t help expressing the sentiment (no matter how overused), when some pretty big names in the history of Western art hail from the state. We’re talking about iconic artists like G. Harvey, known for his Western-themed city scenes, and Porfirio Salinas, recognized for his depictions of the Texas Hill Country particularly in the spring. There’s also Julian Onderdonk, who famously captured the state’s official flower, the vibrant bluebonnet; and the expansive landscapes and flower-strewn fields of San Antonio artist Orville Campbell.
