"Along the Nueces"
David Sanders (1933-2013)
Known for his oil pastel landscapes, David Sanders trained at Southwest Texas State University to become a commercial artist but earned so many portrait commissions that he immediately began working as a fine artist.
He is one of the twelve founders of the Texas Association of Professional Artists, and in 1975, had a one-man exhibition of his paintings at the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas.
David M SANDERS Obituary
SANDERS, David M.
Well known western artist, David M. Sanders, of Austin, passed away on December 19, 2013 after succumbing to ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). David was born in San Antonio on July 9, 1933 to Jesse and Shirley Sanders.
Sanders' paintings were done with remarkable talent and detail. He had an amazing ability to capture the character of early Texas and the spirit of the Cowboys, Indians and Texas Rangers who are predominant in his works. His art portrays the beauty of Texas and her proud heritage. Working mostly with pastels, Sanders brought to this medium the depth and rich coloring of an oil painting. He was described by one critic as "the best pastel artist I have ever seen."
A schoolteacher encouraged his obvious artistic talent and at 10 years old he took art lessons at the Witte Art Museum in San Antonio. Sanders was exceptional in vocal art as well, being endowed with a beautiful operatic quality voice. Throughout high school and his early years of adulthood, he pursued a profession as a tenor soloist, aspiring to go into opera. He was drafted in 1957 and proudly served in the United States Army. Upon returning from overseas, he moved to Seattle to take voice lessons and work as a soloist before deciding to apply his full focus on a career as a western artist. He attended Southwest Texas State University and graduated with a degree in Commercial Art. He met his lovely wife, Sally, while attending college.
After college, Sanders made a living through portrait commissions and selling work at art shows throughout the state. Sanders found his calling with western art. Many sought him out for commission work, including the King Ranch and the Shelton Ranch. He was invited to exhibit his artwork at shows and galleries throughout the state. Sanders was one of the founding members of the Texas Association of Professional Artists. Most of his work throughout the latter part of his career has been on commission.
Relatively early in his career, Sanders illustrated the book Rangers of Texas. He also illustrated several editions of the program for the musical entitled Texas for Palo Duro Canyon State Park.
His paintings have appeared in Cattleman's Magazine, UT Longhorn Football Programs, and have been used on the covers of King Ranch sales catalogs. He was sought out by the Leanin' Tree and various calendar companies to use his paintings for cards and calendars. David Sanders' talent was featured in various publications including Southwest Art Magazine and the book Western Painting Today.
His paintings are in many noted collections of western art. In May 2013 Sanders was honored with resolutions from Governor Rick Perry, the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate. His paintings were proudly displayed in the offices of four former Texas Governors. Additionally his work hangs in the homes of many prominent Americans.
Sanders will be dearly missed by his wife of 48 years, Sally, and their children Sarah (Vance), David (Shirley), Katy (Matt), and Courtney (Blake); grandchildren Travis, Kit, Riley, Joanna, Skylar and David.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00PM Thursday December 26, 2013 at Faith United Methodist Church, 2701 S. Lamar, Austin, TX.

Western Scene (Cowboy on Horseback)
By Denes de Holesch
Located in Surfside, FL
This is an oil on artist board (unframed) by the important Hungarian-born and internationally celebrated Denes de Holesch (1910-1983).
Denes de Holesch was an international equestrian artist. His works have been exhibited all over the world, including in New York, Beverly Hills, Boston, Chicago, Paris, Mexico City, Montreal, Tokyo, Sydney, and Madrid. His horse paintings fall into one of seven themes, including polo, cowboys, circus, rodeo, hunt, bull-fight, race-course and running free. His mastery of the subject has been compared to that of Picasso, Delacroix and Franc Marc.
1910 Denes Dezo George de Holesch was born on 9 February, 1910 at Banska-Bystrica, Northern Hungary. He was the third child and youngest son of Hugo de Holesch, an architect and Margit, nee Wagner. Many generations of the de Holesch family had worked as professional architects. He studied at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest on a scholarship. Early in his career he traveled to China, Japan, Philippines, Java, Bali and Australia, where his reputation grew rapidly. Here he produced portraits in oils, and lithographs of the Chinese, as well as landscape works in oils,depicting the local countryside, and canal, street and city scenes. His exposure to the arts of the Chinese, with their simplicity of line, greatly influenced his later works. In 1939 he established a studio at Lavender Bay near Sydney. In 1940 he exhibited at the Macquarie Galleries in Sydney. In 1944 he married Joyce Greer, the Melbourne concert pianist. In 1945 the couple moved to New York where his interest in horses grew. He held exhibitions at Gallery Wildenstein, Herve, and FAR Gallery. In 1946 Holesch moved to Montreal where he exhibited at the National Gallery of Montreal. In 1947 he moved to Boston where he continued painting portraits and horses. He exhibited there at the Ehrmann and Vose galleries. Later in the year he moved to San Francisco where he was invited to participate in the "Renoir to Picasso" Exhibition held at the Maxwell Gallery.1946 He moved to Montreal, Canada and exhibited at the National Gallery of Montreal. (Frederic Remington and Charles Russell)
1947 Early in the year he moved to Boston and continued painting portraits and horses. In June, he painted the portrait of Harvard Law School Dean, Erwin N. Griswold, and in October his works were exhibited at Margaret Brown's Galerie Intime, Newbury Street, Boston.
1948 He produced a clay sculpture head of Egon Petri, one of a number of clay sculptures that he produced. He also produced a number of wood carvings. His paintings were chosen for inclusion in a Group Exhibition in the National Gallery of San Francisco, and in the important and prestigious 'Renoir to Picasso' Exhibition held at Maxwell's Galleries, 372 Sutter Street, San Francisco.
1953 His works were included in a Group Impressionists Exhibition held at the Ohana Gallery, London
1954 He travelled to New York, where he was commissioned to paint Herbert Gasser, Nobel Prize Winner in Biochemistry.
1955 He returned to England, and then travelled to Paris to exhibit works in the Galerie Marcel Lenoir.
1956 He again returned to New York to work on portrait commissions and for exhibitions of his works, mainly of horses. These exhibitions were held in New York, Boston, San Francisco and late in the year at the Galleries of Frank J. Oehlschlaeger at 107 East Oak Street, Chicago. During this year, visits with his family to Ringling Circus and to a rodeo in Tucson, Arizona must have impressed him greatly, for images of these events soon appeared on his canvases. His work was greatly admired by Hollywood film- stars, such as Ann Rutherford and Burt Lancaster, and David Niven purchased one of the horse paintings to give as his wedding present to Grace Kelly on her marriage to Sovereign Prince Rainier III of Monaco.
1959 The prints of 'Courtship' and 'Chargers' were produced. It has been estimated that close to a million copies of his prints were sold over the next ten years, with 'Courtship' being advertised by Stern's Book Dpt. on 5th Avenue, New York along with prints by Picasso, Degas, Goya, Modigliani, Renoir and Van Gogh.
1960 He moved to Antibes, on the French Riviera in the South-East of France. An exhibition of his works was held in the Galerie des Etats-Unis, Cannes and his works were now permanently exhibited at Galerie Madsen, Rue St. Honore, Paris and Galerie Davis, Place Vendome, Paris.
1961 Known to Picasso, he was invited to attend a special bull-fight held in the South of France, which was organized for Pablo Picasso's 80th birthday.
1975 He moved from Voulangis to Castelfontana in the Dorf Tirol overlooking Merano, Italy. He remained there for close to a year and exhibited his works in a group exhibition in Merano in which works by Salvador Dali and Annigoni were also displayed.
1979 He returned to the old farmhouse at Voulangis. During this time he painted the portrait of Pope John Paul II.
1989 a catalog and biography of Holesch entitled Holesch Horse Paintings 1910-1983 was published by Andrew Mackenzie...
