About the Item
Brian Cobble’s landscapes tend to particularly focus on the interplay of man and his surroundings, whether natural or built. A signature attention to the liminal aspects of a scene, rendered in astonishing detail, create an emotional resonance within his compositions. A retrospective catalogue about Cobble’s work, published by Valley House Gallery in 2010, includes the essay “Brian Cobble: The Poetry of Facts” by Roger Winter. In this essay, Cobble’s former professor writes:
“Though Albuquerque is Cobble’s home, one would make a mistake to think of him as a New Mexican painter in the current typical use of that label. Like Walt Whitman thinking of the sea while writing about other matters, Cobble’s work is influenced by the awe-inspiring light of the desert and by vernacular architecture in small New Mexican towns even as he translates this influence into subjects in places as far ranging as New York or Nebraska. His vision is, as in Edward Hopper’s definition of art, “nature seen through a personality.” Cobble’s is a personality formed by the forces of a specific place.”
Brian Cobble’s works are included in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, the El Paso Museum of Art, and the Tyler Museum of Art. His work has been exhibited at The McKinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. Cobble was awarded the top prize (Founders Award) by the Pastel Society of America in New York in 2012, selected from over 1,000 entries. Cobble was born in Ohio in 1953, and received his MFA from Southern Methodist University.

- Front Elevation of Section 17By Valton TylerLocated in Dallas, TXIn The New York Times Arts in America column, Edward M. Gomez writes of Valton Tyler, "visionary seems the right word for describing his vivid, unusual and technically refined paintings, prints and drawings, whose style defies convenient labels. Abstract, surreal, cartoonish, sci-fi fantastic, metaphysical, apocalyptic-Baroque - all of these fit but also fall short of fully describing his art." (The Living Arts, June 13, 2000, p. B2) Valton Tyler was born in 1944 in Texas, where "the industrial world of oil refineries made a long-lasting impression on Valton as a very young child living in Texas City." (Reynolds, p. 25) After leaving Texas City, Valton made his way to Dallas, where he briefly enrolled at the Dallas Art Institute, but found it to be too social and commercial for his taste. After Valton's work was introduced to Donald Vogel (founder of Valley House Gallery), "Vogel arranged for Tyler to use the printmaking facilities in the art department of the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where the young artist essentially taught himself several demanding printmaking techniques. 'It was remarkable,' Vogel says. 'Not only did he learn complicated etching methods, but he was able to express himself powerfully in whatever medium he explored.' Vogel became the publisher of Tyler's prints. Among them, the artist made editions of some 50 different images whose sometimes stringy abstract forms and more solid, architecturally arresting elements became the precursors of his later, mature style." (Gomez, Raw Vision #35, p. 36) "Front Elevation of Section 17" is plate number 34, and is reproduced in "The First Fifty Prints: Valton Tyler" with text by Rebecca Reynolds, published for Valley House Gallery by Southern Methodist University Press, Dallas, Texas, 1972. In "The First Fifty Prints," Reynolds writes, “this plate can be seen as a culmination of the artist’s earlier uses of aquatint and as a new direction the artist will take in his compositions. In early plates such as ‘Joy,’ Plate No. 12, and ‘Do Not Touch,’ Plate No. 20, the artist has presented his designs to our unaccustomed eyes, either formally, by placing them on sculpture pedestals, or more abstractly, using smaller soft ground silhouettes. In later examples such as ‘One Little Stage,’ Plate No. 24, or ‘Heritage,’ Plate No. 25, we were brought closer to a direct interaction with the forms as they began to fill the plates with increasing sculptural and monumental qualities. It was still possible to maintain a more passive point of view because of the stage format of the compositions. In ‘Avenue 11,’ Plate No. 26, as we have seen, the artist unveils the true authority of his designs by placing them in our environment to compete with our reality of a familiar cityscape and to make us question our ideas of aesthetics and logic. In ‘Front Elevation’ we enter into and are confronted with these structures in their own massive landscape...Category
