Porfirio Salinas: Serious Artist or Potboiler Painter
With wildflower paintings covering the early Texas art landscape, the work of Porfirio Salinas receives mixed reviews among collectors and virtually no credibility in major Texas museums. Moreover, no serious scholarship has ever examined his place in early Texas art. Using visual and historical analyses, this presentation will seek to place Salinas in the context of his forebears and emulators, while also posing the question of his legacy in light of his often inferior late paintings.
