FREE EVENT - FREE PARKING
The Neill-Cochran House Museum is honored to present a retrospective of the career of Jack White. Over a career that spanned more than seven decades, Mr. White explored the world around him as well as his African heritage through naturalistic drawings as well as abstract collages, totems, and paintings. He taught studio art classes over much of his career and spent many years working with incarcerated individuals in the New York State penitentiary system, particularly at Auburn Correctional Facility.
Jack White arrived in Austin in 2006 and spent the final years of his career and life here. The pieces shown come from his widow's private collection in the home they shared and bring together more than twenty examples of White’s work that are diverse in subject matter, style, and medium.
Dr. Rowena Dasch, Executive Director of the NCHM, will give an overview of Jack White’s extensive body of work and influences with a special focus of what’s on view at the Neill-Cochran House Museum.
Jack White’s art book collection will be available for purchase following the talk.
This curator talk is free and open to the public.
Jack White Retrospective will be on display at the Neill-Cochran House Museum from June 3rd through September 6th. The Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00am until 4:00pm.
