THE SIXTH TEXASGENERAL EXHIBITION
FOREWORDTexas artists are appearing in important national exhibit ions
with increasing frequency and dist inction. The annua l T exas
General Exhibition has been one of th e most sign ificant com
pet it ive proving grounds for the artis ts of the St at e. In this
Sixth T exas General Exhibition, some of the leading ar tists
are not represented because of their active participation in t hewar effort, but the exhibit indicates that T exas art is main
t aining its steady development and many young artists are
introduced.
The three museums who ori ginated this exhibit ion in 1939and have assem bled it since that time, this year welcome th e
Universi ty of Texas as an additional annual sponsor of the
show.
For the current exhibition, 175 art ist s submitted 296works to a jury composed of artists and art directors. From
this number, 105 works by 93 artists were selected to makethis exhibit one of the largest. Last year 's exhibition estab
lished a record for sales, and the growing interest in this an
nual art competition should find many works from this show
being acquired by Texas collectors .
