Notes:

Woodrow Blagg (1946-2023) was a renowned American artist best known for his large-scale, masterful graphite drawings depicting ranch life. Although born and raised in Pennsylvania, Blagg was captivated by the vast landscapes of Texas. The large scale of his works is meant to convey the immensity of his experiences while traveling through Texas: the sense of openness in the landscape, the intensity of cattle drives, the larger-than-life personalities of people he met.
Blagg's artwork has been exhibited across Texas and the United States. His talent earned him recognition at the highest levels, including an invitation to the White House in 1982 to present a large drawing to President Ronald Reagan. His works are part of numerous corporate and private collections.
