Tony Bass Art

Born in Texas, in 1943, Tony Bass is an American contemporary artist who received his bachelor and master of fine arts degrees from the University of Texas. He later became an instructor at the University of North Texas and St. Edward’s University, while also creating increasingly complex images in the printmaking medium. After spending a year in Paris, working on a series of etchings for a French publishing company, he returned to Dallas. For the next 12 years, Tony explored new mediums, including watercolor, sculpture and mixed media. All the while, his fluid imagery remained in the more figurative realm. As his work evolved to oil on canvas, he shed his figurative ties for a more abstract and intuitive direction, which he is now pursuing with great enthusiasm. He has over 25 one-man shows throughout the last 30 years and is included, in numerous corporate and private collections, in both the United States and Europe.
