Fairfield Porter:
A Life in Art, 1907-1975
Through January 4, 2004
The International Association of Art Critic's choice as 2003's best exhibition, "this once-in-a-lifetime retrospective features more than 80 objects including paintings, watercolors, drawings and prints, poetry, writings, and correspondence that weave a portrait of Mr. Porter as painter, art critic, intellectual, and poet as well as husband, father, and friend. Hailed as perhaps the major American artist of this century, McNay visitors will discover Porter's distinctive realist style through his brilliantly colored New England landscapes, still lifes, and personal family portraits." We were fortunate to be at San Antonio during this wonderful show.

As is usual, visitor photographs of special exhibitions were not permitted. The painting to the right was copied from the 2003 McNay web site. To visit the 2008 McNay Museum online, click HERE.
The rest of the McNay Museum collection was allowed to be photographed, so we snapped a few for this site. Also included are images of the Museum itself, formerly the private home of Marion Koogler McNay and donated by her to the city of San Antonio. Click HERE.
