Charro

Tom Lea standing in front of the studies of the Charro and Franciscan friar for the pass of the North. photo courtesy of C.L. Sonnichsen Special Collections Department, UTEP Library, EL Paso,Texas. Tom Lea's murals of the 1930s express the history and character of the Southwest and other regions of the U.S. on walls of public buildings from Washington, D.C., to Dallas, Texas, and are arguably the finest of the period. As an eye-witness artist correspondent for LIFE magazine during World War II, Tom Lea traveled more than 100,000 miles to record U.S. and Allied soldiers, sailors, and airmen and their machines waging war worldwide. He wrote and illustrated bestselling novels—The Brave Bulls and The Wonderful Country—that were adapted into Hollywood movies and a dozen other books about subjects as diverse as mountaineering in Wyoming, horse training in 16th century New Spain, and the history of the mammoth King Ranch. His paintings depict remote and exotic places from Ecuador to China, but primarily capture subjects found near his home on the border between Mexico and Texas. Despite his accomplishments, Tom Lea was largely unknown outside Texas when he died on January 29, 2001. His work had taken him to every continent, but he always returned home to El Paso—to paint and to write near Mount Franklin—far from current fashions and art world trends. Tom Lea never sought the approval of a critic or the favor of a museum director, placing the majority of his paintings after World War II in the private collections of his personal friends. Those friends have generously responded to efforts to preserve Tom Lea's work, establishing repositories at the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Texas at El Paso, and the El Paso Museum of Art. Friends have now established the Tom Lea Institute, a not-for-profit corporation, to perpetuate his legacy through collaboration and education. http://tomlea.com/
