Tremont Artists

The best openings are Dan Rizzie openings. The opening at @BarryWhistlerGallery was filled with energy and good will that my friend and artist Dan Rizzie is known for generating. His paintings sold briskly as the patrons of Dan reflected on their Dan Rizzie collection and stories. Dan is known as a Dallas artist, some might remember him featured as a Dewar’s Doer. Long Island now claims him, but first and foremost I will always associate him with the Tremont Artists. There has never been a monograph or book on the Tremont Artists, but there should be. The number of artists who were developing their work in the 1970s on Tremont that have gone on to national success and their work owned by museums across the country is quite incredible. Those artists who either lived on Tremont or spent the night on Tremont as a regular guest or lived around the corner include artist Dan Rizzie, David Bates, James Surls, John Alexander, David McManaway, Jim Love, Roy Fridge, Linnea Glatt, Barbara Bell, Sam Gummelt, and Mike McNamara. The artists who lived around the corner include Frances Bagley on Victor Street, Randy Brodnax on Junius Street, Patricia Forest on Worth Street, Doug MacWithey on Lower Swiss. Other artists on Tremont include costume designer Giva Taylor and actor T.A. Taylor.
In addition, it was on Tremont when the DW Gallery was conceived. This was the first Dallas Gallery dedicated to women artists. It helped propel the career of successful artists like Suzy Phillips, Linda Surls, and invited male artists like David Bates and David McManaway when they had a group show. Congratulations to the ongoing success of Dan Rizzie and all of the Tremont Artists.
