John Cobb
Magdalena Bay (St. Mary Magdalene)

About the Item

John Cobb knew he wanted to be an artist since he was 9. In 1976, he entered Rhode Island School of Design where his realist tendencies were ostracized. Using the money intended for his education, Cobb moved to Europe, bought a Vespa, and learned by independent study in museums and by making watercolors in Morocco, Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy. When funds ran low he returned to Austin to finish his art degree at St. Edward’s University in 1983. Cobb has remained in Texas, creating his landscape compositions outdoors. Valley House Gallery first exhibited his landscapes, as well as his Chapel installation, in December 2012. The Cole Art Center at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, exhibited his work in the winter of 2014-2015; the accompanying catalogue includes the essay “John Cobb: Visions of the Texas Landscape” by Dr. David A. Lewis. In it, Dr. Lewis writes: “What he has learned from the art of the museums, Cobb has fully assimilated and modified in the development of his own personal vision. And while enriched by these historical perspectives, that vision also fully reflects keen awareness of the landscapes he has encountered in life, and filtered – as Courbet might have said – through his own temperament. Paradoxically, John Cobb’s landscapes are at once realistic and imaginative, for they express both the external reality in which he lives and the interior ‘fantastic’ world he makes for himself” (page 17). The dimensions including the artist-made frame are 26 x 31 1/4 inches.

    "Palm" by Malou Flato is acrylic on paper on canvas, and measures 72 x 60 inches.

Flato has a studio in Austin and another on her great-grandfather’s ranch on the southwestern shoulder of the Hill Country, in Edwards County. “Texas is my inspiration,” she says. “I have made my life here, and I would like to think that my art reflects the place I know best.” Malou Flato’s works can be seen in many public places in Texas and beyond.
