Covering 825,000 acres in the Coastal Plain and Brush Country of
South Texas, King Ranch, established in 1853, looms large in Texas
and American history. Its place in the popular imagination shows
through Edna Ferber's epic 1952 novel Giant, said to be based on
the story of the Kings, the Klebergs, and other founding families
of the famous ranching dynasty, and the subsequent Hollywood
blockbuster starring Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, and Rock
Hudson.In King Ranch: A Legacy in Art, editors William E. Reaves
and Linda J. Reaves have assembled a team of collaborators to
present a beautiful, informative account of the ranch, its human
and animal inhabitants, and its place in the artistic heritage of
the region. Pairing original paintings by artist Noe Perez with
insightful essays from curators and historians Bruce Shackelford
and Ron Tyler, this book is a visual and narrative celebration of
the many ways in which 'King Ranch culture' has enriched and, in
some cases, fostered appreciation for the decorative, practical,
and fine arts in Texas and the greater American West. Opening with
a foreword by Jamey Clement, current chair of the board for King
Ranch, Inc., and continuing with a survey by ranch historian Robert
Kinnan, King Ranch: A Legacy in Art affords readers a unique
appreciation of the natural beauty and artistic influence of this
legendary place.
