Donald S. Vogel: A Painter’s Life

Valley House will feature a preview of its founder Donald S. Vogel’s art this Sunday, May 4, 12 - 3. Vogel was one of the innovators of the Dallas art scene, opening the first modern art gallery in 1952 with his wife and then Betty McLean (now Betty Blake.) His primary inspiration was found in the beautiful grounds which is now the gallery and sculpture garden in North Dallas. It’s not exactly the South of France that inspired the French Impressionists, but right now in the spring, you can see the resemblance.
