Imagined Realism: Scott and Stuart Gentling

September 25 - January 09,2022

From the Amon Carter Museum of American Art: "Experience the first retrospective of local Fort Worth artists Scott and Stuart Gentling. Imagined Realism: Scott and Stuart Gentling highlights the artists’ best-known works between the late 1960s and the 2000s and explores their personal passions and interests. From sketches and etchings to watercolors and oil paintings, this exhibition showcases the brothers’ prolific career as well as their, until recently, little studied creative impact. Have you been to Bass Hall and marveled at the 80-foot mural adorning its dome? It was designed by Fort Worth artists Scott and Stuart Gentling. Brothers and lifelong artistic collaborators, their artistic interests spanned centuries and continents, resulting in a varied body of work that ranges from emulations of naturalist-artists like John James Audubon to imagined visualizations of the Aztec empire. In the first-ever comprehensive retrospective of the brothers’ work, Imagined Realism explores their distinct style that defied the movements of their times. Featuring more than 150 works and archival objects, this exhibition marks a multiyear effort to situate their visionary artistic careers on the national stage of the larger art world in which they worked."
