SAN ANGELO, Texas — The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts is hosting a free lecture by John Schoonover at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 29, in the SAMFA meeting room, 1 Love St.
"Through His Own Lens: The Documentary Photography of Illustrator Frank E. Schoonover" will be presented by John Schoonover about his grandfather, social documentary photographer and illustrator Frank E. Schoonover, and his influential early 1900s artwork.
The elder Schoonover’s artwork can be viewed, along with paintings by N.C. Wyeth and Howard Pyle, in SAMFA’s current exhibit, N.C. Wyeth and the Golden Age of American Illustration. The selection of works from the collection of Joel and Suzanne Sugg and the Diamond M collection of the Museum of Texas Tech University, features seldom-seen paintings that have shaped popular imagination.
