The
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston held a cocktail reception honoring artist
Jack P. Cowan on Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Guests were able
to view Saluting a Texas Treasure: The Sporting Art of John P.
Cowan, an exhibition of 30 paintings by the late John P. “Jack” Cowan,
organized by MFAH curator of American art and painting, Emily Neff. Many
of Cowan's friends, the “who's who” of the
Houston sporting scene, recognized depictions of themselves saltwater
fishing or bird hunting in Cowan's sporting art.
