Bob Camblin YES
A Sixty Year Retrospective 1950-2010

Just when the Renaissance painters began to figure out their trade, along came neoclassicism and its new theories. This in turn was upended by Romanticism which was eventually eclipsed by the introduction of Modern art. It didn’t take long for Modern art to give way to Contemporary art. It is within this milieu that we find this retrospective – 130 pieces that cover almost all the movements from Dada to Post-Impressionism.

Born in Ponca City, Oklahoma, Bob Camblin (1928–2010) was an artist, first and foremost. He earned his BFA and MFA degrees from the Kansas City Art Institute. His studies were followed by a Fulbright Fellowship that allowed him a year’s stay in Italy. Returning to the USA, he held teaching positions at the Ringling Museum, the University of Illinois, Detroit Mercy, and the University of Utah before moving to Houston in 1967 to teach at Rice’s new art department. He was active in Houston during the late 1960s through the 1980s, collaborating with Earl Staley and Joe Tate on many projects, including “happenings” on the beach in Galveston. His career led him to creative undertakings all over the world. Throughout his lifetime he constantly experimented with various art media. He remained open to new ideas and new techniques until his death in Louisiana in 2010.

Bob Camblin
DRAWriting The Late 20th Century

At the close of the 1980s, and free from the commercial constraints of signing his own name to artwork and gallery representation, he immersed himself in his vision of art. Camblin took working trips to Paris, Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands creating an even broader series of paintings, watercolors, and pen/ink drawings he called DRAWritings. This monograph explains through drawings what one artist saw in the late 20th century.
