The Blaffer Museum of Art at the University of Houston is proud to present "Impressions of the Big Thicket," an exhibition that explores the artistic interpretations of this unique ecosystem. The exhibition features works by more than 30 artists, including Frederick Remington, Frank Reaugh, Julian Onderdonk, and John James Audubon.
The exhibition is organized into four thematic sections: "The Land," "The Water," "The People," and "The Legacy." The "Land" section features works that depict the Big Thicket's diverse landscape, from its rolling hills and towering pines to its winding rivers and cypress swamps.

The "Legacy" section features works that explore the Big Thicket's environmental legacy. These works address the threats to the Big Thicket, such as logging, development, and pollution, as well as the efforts to protect this unique ecosystem.
"Impressions of the Big Thicket" is a stunning exhibition that celebrates the beauty and diversity of this unique ecosystem. The exhibition is a must-see for anyone who loves art, nature, or Texas history.
