Elmer Schooley was one of the country’s most respected large
format painters. His paintings can be found in prominent
collections and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art
in New York and the Dallas Museum of Art. The paintings in
the University Public Art Collection represent the artist’s most
distinctive characteristics: a complex underpainting, a densely
textured surface composed of complex layers, attention to
minute detail, and maximum visual impact. Schooley’s mission
as a painter was to produce paintings that enliven the viewer in
a particular place in the landscape.
