Alexander Chandler supports the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth and recently attended the Kimbell Cosmopolitan’s group annual Gala themed Town & Country. I am not sure where the country entered into this because everyone was in a suit. The Cosmopolitan group is for young professionals under 45. It was a pleasant event catered by Bonnell’s with Jon Bonnell carving beef himself. There was also a band which I remember little about, but they were pretty average.
What was exciting was the exhibit from the private collections of Texas from Master painters. We got a rare look at works of art that are rarely put on display. They had a contest to keep us interested which was a sort of hide and seek game in the gallery. They gave us little booklets with mini snapshots of scenes from various paintings and we had to identify the name of the work and the artist. This was also a way to get us to look at the art. When we were done we put our slips of paintings we identified into various buckets to win a prize. The best part of the evening is I won one of the best prizes. It was a painting by local artist Matt Clarke. It would be considered modern art. Kind of hard to describe but what the artist did was put paints on a block and then press glass to the paint which then spread the paint around and let it dry. What was left is an interesting pattern of the paints. It could have been a picture of dogs playing cards and I would have been happy just to be a winner.
My guest was Marisa Farha who is the site representative of La Cantera which is West Fort Worth’s most private luxury community.
