“It’s just the quintessential Texas record,” says Wittliff curator Hector Saldaña. “All these years later, it holds up.”
,” includes never-before-heard recordings from Luckenbach.
“They had recorded at Rap Cleaners there in Austin. But I think the setting there in Luckenbach – very rustic, laid back, you know, a little place owned by storyteller and cowboy poet Hondo Crouch – I think they could be comfortable,” he said. “I’m calling [the exhibit] “¡Viva Terlingua!: The Big Bang of Texas Music” because when you think about the songwriters represented in that album: Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Michael Martin Murphey, Jerry Jeff.
“They were the originators of that. It’s really almost like garage rock, you know, garage band country or something,” he said. “You know, that’s what they were doing, like, ‘Hey, let’s play.’ You can hear it on the tape, like Jerry Jeff going, ‘Come on, let’s do it.’ And the guys all chiming in at different points. It was a collection of equals in many ways.”

Edward Hopper | ArtnetEdward Hopper was a seminal American artist famous for his oil paintings and watercolors of both rural and city scenes. He often used strongly contrasting light and dark tones to create cinematic moods. In the iconic painting Nighthawks (1942), Hopper portrayed a starkly lit Manhattan diner with all the drama of a film-noir. Along with these nocturnes, the artist also made airy canvases depicting the coasts of Cape Cod and other New England villages. 'Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world,' he once mused. Born on July 22, 1882 in Nyack, NY, Hopper began his artistic studies sketching steamboats on the Hudson River as a youth. He went on to train as a commercial illustrator before transferring to the New York School of Art. Here he studied painting under William Merrit Chase and Robert Henri alongside his peer George Bellows. In 1905, Hopper began working at an advertising agency as an illustrator for trade magazine covers—work he notably detested, but continued out of financial necessity. In 1923, after years of working in illustration, he sold six watercolors to the Brooklyn Museum, the funds enabling him to devote himself entirely to painting. From the late 1920s onward, he produced works which created the coherent style and mood he's known for today, ranging from Automat (1927) to Second Story Sunlight (1960). Hopper died on May 15, 1967 in New York, NY. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.

Egon Schiele | ArtnetEgon Schiele was an Austrian Expressionist painter who, despite his short life, had a major influence on Modernist figurative painting in the 20th century. Notorious during his time for his bold portrayals of human sexuality, he has remained a subject of fascination and controversy to this day, and was closely associated with a group of artists known as the Vienna Secessionists led by his friend and mentor Gustav Klimt. Unlike Klimt, however, Schiele's paintings and drawings are compositionally bare, focusing on a stylized representation of the human figure that features exaggerated musculature and a special focus given to the extremities: digits, hair, breasts, and genitalia are all rendered with particular care. Born in Tulln an der Donau, Austro-Hungarian Empire on June 12, 1890, Schiele's personal life was tumultuous and marked with death and tragedy. After his father died from syphilis in 1905, Schiele moved to Vienna where he garnered contact with the prominent painters Edvard Munch and Vincent van Gogh. Exhibiting his own work by 1908, within the following decade the artist was imprisoned on pornography charges, accused of seducing a minor, drafted for military service in World War I, and married twice. He ultimately succumbed to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, dying on October 31, 1918 at the age of 28. Schiele's legacy is incalculably influential, and his work can be found in important cultural collections like The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna.
