Robert Harrison Art

b. 1949

Robert Harrison was born in San Antonio, Texas, and spent many summers as a child in Wimberley, Texas, with his grandmother, Myrtle Lowery Harrison, who introduced Robert to painting and encouraged his interest in it. Over his career which spans nearly half a century, Harrison's work has sold in fine art galleries in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and as far away as Carmel, California. Robert's love of the Texas Hill Country is evident in his paintings and he is considered by many art authorities to be the best living landscape artist in Texas. Cecelia Steinfeldt, curator emeritus of the Witte Museum, listed him as one of the top ten bluebonnet painters of all time in an article in Southwest Art Magazine, April 1985. His number one fan was Dolph Briscoe. Governor Briscoe purchased many of his works for gifts, his enjoyment, as well as investments. Harrison is best known for his bluebonnet scenes, but he masterfully captures the beauty of Texas' rivers, Spanish missions and ranching heritage. His work has been featured in San Antonio Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine and Art International. Robert's work is sought-after by private collectors and corporate collections in the United States and internationally.
