Art works by the late Emilio Caballero, an influential art instructor and artist in the region for more than 60 years, will be on display in Dumas this month.

“Remembering ... Emilio Caballero” features 96 pieces on loan from former students, friends and collectors in the Panhandle.

“Emilio’s work is honest,” said Burl Brim of Wellington, who studied under

Caballero in the 1950s. “Everything he did came right out of his heart. He was able to paint, and he did it better than any-body I’ve ever seen.”
