William Hoey Paintings

American, 1930-1994

William Hoey was born in 1930 in Abilene, Texas. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in art from the University of Texas. Professor Hoey, considered a "magic realist" painter of the American Southwest, was well-known for his work in still life and portraiture. Hoey operated two galleries in Austin, the Carriage House Gallery and the SOHO Gallery, and taught at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, as well as in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas.
