FREE EVENT | FREE PARKING
The Neill-Cochran House Museum is honored to present a retrospective of the career of Jack White. Over a career that spanned more than seven decades, Mr. White explored the world around him as well as his African heritage through naturalistic drawings as well as abstract collages, totems, and paintings. He taught studio art classes over much of his career and spent many years working with incarcerated individuals in the New York State penitentiary system, particularly at Auburn Correctional Facility.
Jack White arrived in Austin in 2006 and spent the final years of his career and life here. The pieces shown come from his widow's private collection in the home they shared and bring together more than twenty examples of White’s work that are diverse in subject matter, style, and medium.
This reception is free and open to the public. Stop by any time between 4:00pm and 6:00pm, enjoy a complimentary cocktail, and view this expressive, rarely-seen work.
Jack White Retrospective will be on display at the Neill-Cochran House Museum from June 3 through September 6. The Museum is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM.
