Biography
Buck Schiwetz (1898-1984)
Edward Muegge Schiwetz was a painter whose work recorded the state of Texas from the country to the city. In addition, Schiwetz was a magazine illustrator, graphic artist, writer, preservationist, and architect. Edward Schiwetz was born and raised in Cuero, Texas and learned to draw and paint under the instruction of his mother. He graduated from Cuero High School (1916) and received a baccalaureate in architecture from Texas A
M college, College Station, Texas (1921). In1928, Schiwetz moved to New York City where he studied lithography and etching at the Art Students League. During this time, he successfully marketed his work to publications including Scribner's, House Beautiful and the Architectural Record. Schiwetz returned to Texas in 1929 and became an art director and partner in the successful Houston advertising agency of Franke, Wilkinson, and Schiwetz. After retiring from the advertising agency in 1966, he devoted himself almost entirely to painting and drawing. In 1974, he moved to College Station where he worked on campus scenes at his alma Mater. The Houston Art League honored Schiwetz in a festive tribute the year before his death and named him Texas Artist of the Year. He died in Cuero, Texas in 1984. Schiwetz was a member of the Associated Artists of Houston; California Watercolor Society; Contemporary Arts Association; Southern States Art League; Texas Society of Architects; Texas Fine Arts Association* and the Texas Watercolor Society. Exhibitions included American Watercolor Society; Philadelphia Watercolor Society; Art Institute of Chicago; Southern States Art League Annual Exhibition; Texas Painting and Sculpture Annual Exhibition; Western Watercolor Exhibition, San Francisco and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia.to

Dallas Skyline by E. M. “Buck” Schiwetz — 1961
by Paula Bosse
This drawing reminds me of those wonderful telephone book covers (the ones with all the hidden jokes and intricate details) that I used to pore over as a child. (By the way, when clicked, this image is absolutely HUMONGOUS.)
From the booklet Five Years Forward: The Dallas Public Library, 1955-1960 (more of which can be accessed here).

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009
"Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons."
Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on
her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years
her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard
Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
