Lonesome Dove from J.J. Pumphrey General Merchandise Store, Cary White, 1987, The Wittliff Collections, Texas State University, San Marcos

Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) July 05, 2016 -- On Sunday, June 19, 2016, Fort Worth bid farewell to Gus and Captain Call as the popular exhibition at the Sid Richardson Museum in Sundance Square, “Lonesome Dove: The Art of Story,” came to a close at sunset.

For those who missed the Lonesome Dove exhibitions in Fort Worth, they can see an exhibition mounted at the Old Jail Art Center in Albany, Texas, where the last exhibition on the Trail will be up through July 23. It’ll be worth the ride.”

Since January, “Dovers” traced the path of “Lonesome Dove,” from Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to the movie script, and they explored the American West through Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell artworks, a cowboy’s1868 cattle-drive diary, and objects on loan from the Lonesome Dove Collection in the Wittliff Collections at Texas State University.

Masterpieces by Remington from the Richardson’s collection and on loan from Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth; Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa; and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston—which had never before been displayed together—were exhibited with production materials from the filming of the award-winning 1989 TV miniseries, “Lonesome Dove.” The production materials had never before been displayed outside of the Wittliff Collections, and some might never travel again due to their fragile condition.

“Thanks to Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price’s vision, the community has had numerous opportunities to enjoy treasures from the Lonesome Dove Collection,” said Mary Burke, director of the Sid Richardson Museum. In mid-January, the museum was the trailhead for the start of the multifaceted January-through-June citywide celebration, The Lonesome Dove Trail. Mayor Price, TSU, the Fort Worth Convention & Visitors Bureau and generous sponsors and partners brought costumes, props, photographs from the beloved Western to multiple Fort Worth community locations plus one in Albany, Texas, via museum exhibitions, screenings of the TV miniseries, panel discussions, and a reunion gala of the cast and crew, including Robert Duvall (who portrayed Gus McCrae), Diane Lane, Barry Tubb, and others, held in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards.

Sponsors and partners of the Trail included lead sponsor Frost Bank, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Cattle Raisers Museum, Central Market, Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau, Fort Worth Library, Fort Worth Promotion and Development Fund, Lone Star Film Society, Luther King Capital Management, McDavid Studio, Milan Gallery, National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, River Ranch, Sid Richardson Museum, Sundance Square, Tandy Leather, Texas Christian University, Texas Film Commission, Texas Historical Foundation, The Old Jail Art Center, and The Wittliff Collections.

"Just as seen in the TV miniseries, the Remington and Russell paintings and sculptures in our exhibition illuminated the narrative of the late 19th century American West," said Burke. "Our presentation of the West—through well-crafted words, video, set illustrations, costume designs, storyboards and works by Remington and Russell—was a first-of-its-kind exhibition for our museum, and it set the stage for the entire citywide celebration."

Burke encourages those who missed the opportunity to see the exhibitions in Fort Worth to visit an exhibition mounted at the Old Jail Art Center in Albany, Texas, where the last exhibition on the Trail will be up through July 23. “It’ll be worth the ride,” she said.

About the Sid Richardson Museum
Established in 1982, the Sid Richardson Museum features paintings by Frederic Remington (1861-1909) and Charles M. Russell (1864-1926) of the 19th century American West during westward expansion. Legendary Texas oilman and philanthropist Sid W. Richardson (1891-1959) amassed one of the most significant private collections of Remington and Russell in the United States.

“Legacy,” the museum’s current exhibition, reunites familiar works from the collection painted between 1880 and before 1942 by Remington and Russell with rarely seen paintings by their contemporaries: Oscar E. Berninghaus, Charles Francis Browne, Edwin Willard Deming, William Gilbert Gaul, Herbert M. Herget, Frank Tenney Johnson, William Robinson Leigh, Peter Moran and Charles Schreyvogel. The exhibition depicts the clash of cultures of the 19th century American West.

Admission is free to the museum at 309 Main Street, which is open daily except for major holidays. For information, visit http://www.sidrichardsonmuseum.org.

About The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University
The Wittliff Collections in the Alkek Library at Texas State University were founded in 1986 by Bill Wittliff, “Lonesome Dove” screenwriter and co-executive producer, and his wife Sally. The Wittliff Collections are devoted to collecting, preserving and sharing the creative legacy of the Southwest through literature, photography, film, and music.(http://www.thewittliffcollections.txstate.edu)
