Description
Kenneth Wyatt (Texas, 1930-2021), longhorn bull, early work of the artist, 1966, oil on canvas laid down on board
sight: 14 x 18 in., frame: 17 x 21 in.
Provenance: purchased from the artist's gallery in 2021
A self-taught painter, Kenneth Wyatt began painting as a hobby while he was a preacher. In 1967, during a speaking engagement in Fort Worth, Texas, he began doodling on a napkin. Dmitri Vale, a professional artist seated next to Wyatt, noticed the sketch and urged him to pursue art professionally. After the event, Wyatt invested his $500 speaker's fee in art supplies.
This particular painting of a longhorn bull dates from 1966, the year before he began pursuing art professionally. This work's significance lies in its raw early talent and its subject, an instantly recognizable Texas icon.
