Texas Modern Architecture Impressionist Art

Eugene and Margaret McDermott retained architect Scott Lyons to design their Texas Modern home in Highland Park on the recommendation of longtime friend and architect of Texas Instruments headquarters, O’Neil Ford. This home with the tenets of Texas and the modernism of Europe was perfect for a magnificent and personal collection of Impressionist art. The warm, simple talent and materials were the perfect backdrop for these Impressionist paintings by Monet, Caillebotte, and others. The continuous brick walls and a wall of a single-pane window overlooking the garden created the symmetry with the landscape paintings of these Impressionist artists. Private moments or shared moments with large groups generated awe and reflection at the beauty and peace these paintings in their Texas modern home generated. Many generations will continue to enjoy this art at the Dallas Museum of Art. #art #architecture #architect #texas #modern #impressionism #highlandpark #dma #dallasarchitecture #dallas #neighborhood #texasmodern #texasmodernarchitecture #mcdermott #margaretmcdermott #home #window #brick #modernhome #midcenturymodern #highlandparkhomes #historic #historichome #contemporary
