By CARY DARLING Step into gallery 16 at Fort Worth's Modern Art Museum and be faced with a larger-than-life contradiction. On display are three gigantic portraits by Los Angeles-born/Brooklyn-based Kehinde Wiley of classic, European-style portraiture, full of men on horseback and rococo gallantry. No big shock to see something like that in a museum. But the men in the Focus: Kehinde Wiley ...

We talked to four Texas art collectors about their holdings. Every one of them began small, buying $10 textiles in South America, $25 paintings at garage sales and works for less than $100 on eBay. One even purchased a painting from a stranger in ...

Belleville West art teacher was innovative, caring innovative
Q. My mom has a pot that she says was created by a famous art teacher here in Belleville. She won it as an attendance prize at a party in the 1970s. She said that he taught art in Belleville and that he discovered a unique way to fire pots. He never told anyone how he made the "crackle" design on the pots. I think his name was Miller, and he has since passed. Do you have any information about ...

Among the issues explored are disfigurement, depression, missing persons, childhood death, transgender lifestyle, tainted relationships, bondage, ...
