"Leave it to Michael Grauer, the spirited over-seer of all things Reaugh at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, to develop the definitive biography of this Master Texas artist. With passion and poignancy, Grauer lays out the compelling story of a forgotten giant of Texas art. Skillfully charting the ebb and flow of a long and devoted career, Grauer reasserts Reaugh's rightful place in the annals of the Lone Star art."-- William Reaves , founder of the Center for the Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art "Finally, a long-awaited biography on an important pioneer Texas artist! Grauer takes on the mantel of personal field guide leading the reader along dusty well-traveled trails taken by Frank Reaugh and his loyal student following. Peppered with colorful facts as layered and richly detailed as his subject's pastel landscapes, Grauer aptly paints the story of Reaugh's life and long career noting his many cultural contributions to art of the American West and the Dallas/Fort Worth region."-- Peter F.

This ample study will be both the starting point and the measure of future inquiries into the subject."-- B. Byron Price , Director, Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, University of Oklahoma "Michael Grauer's full-length and superbly researched biography of Reaugh is compellingly narrated with compassion for the subject matter and for the culture of the times. The book takes us from Reaugh's early work on the cattle drives of the 1850s to the artist's peak at the turn of the century and the national acclaim that followed. Best of all, Grauer's "research led journey" to Western sites and collections put him inside Reaugh's life; Grauer walked in his subject's footsteps. As a result, this welcome work tells the story from the inside of the artist's life and lets Reaugh, as much as any biography can, speak for himself. Grauer's book constitutes an invaluable contribution to Reaugh studies as well as to scholarship on art of the American West."-- Bonney MacDonald , Professor of English and Western American Literature at West Texas A&M University and series editor of American Wests (Texas A&M University Press) , "Michael R. Grauer wisely situates Reaugh's work within the histories of American landscape painting and nineteenth-century literature. . . . Rounded Up in Glory will be essential reading for anyone interested in Reaugh's work and, more broadly, in strengthening the fragile bridge between the study of nineteenth-century eastern landscape paintings and the often-overlooked but deeply inspiring art of the American West."-- H-Environment/H-Net Reviews, "Certainly, there is no one more qualified than Michael Grauer to author a signal publication on this artist."-- William Reaves , founder of the Center for the Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art, "Leave it to Michael Grauer, the spirited over-seer of all things Reaugh at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, to develop the definitive biography of this Master Texas artist.

Synopsis
Frank Reaugh (1860-1945; pronounced "Ray") was called "theDean of Texas artists" for good reason. His pastels documentedthe wide-open spaces of the West as they were vanishing in thelate nineteenth century, and his plein air techniques influencedgenerations of artists. His students include a "Who's Who" oftwentieth-century Texas painters: Alexandre Hogue, ReveauBassett, and Lucretia Coke, among others. He was an advocate ofpainting by observation, and encouraged his students to do thesame by organizing legendary sketch trips to West Texas. Reaughalso earned the title of Renaissance man by inventing a portableeasel that allowed him to paint in high winds, and developing aformula for pastels, which he marketed. A founder of the DallasArt Society, which became the Dallas Museum of Art, Reaugh wascentral to Dallas and Oak Cliff artistic circles for many years untilinfighting and politics drove him out of fashion. He died isolatedand poor in 1945. The last decade has seen a resurgence of interest in Reaugh,through gallery shows, exhibitions, and a recent documentary.Despite his importance and this growing public profile, however,Rounded Up in Glory would be the first full-length biography. Michael Grauer argues for Reaugh's importance as more than just a "longhorn painter." Reaugh's works and far-reaching imagination earned him a prominent place in the Texas art pantheon., Frank Reaugh (1860-1945; pronounced "Ray") was called "the Dean of Texas artists" for good reason.
