  • Biography

    Deforrest Judd (1916 - 1993) Dallas Artist

    A landscape painter and longtime professor, from 1946 to 1982, at Southern Methodist University in Texas, he has also taught at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. He was born in Hartsgrove, Ohio and studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, graduating in 1938 and from 1939 to 1942, did post-graduate work at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center as a student of Boardman Robinson. His work is in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts and the Beaumont, Texas Museum.
     DeForrest Judd (1916-1993) Judd graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1938 and received a post-graduate scholarship to continue his studies at the Institute in 1939. From 1940 to 1942 Judd studied at the Colorado Spring Fine Arts Center under the center’s director, Boardman Robinson, and Texas artist, Otis Dozier. During World War II Judd served in the United States Army. His academic career as professor of painting, drawing, and design began in 1946 when he moved to Dallas to teach at Southern Methodist University and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. In 1967 Judd was promoted to full professor at SMU. He retired from the University in 1981.      Judd continued to live in Dallas and devote his time to art until his death in 1992. Judd’s work reflects his study of nature: mountains, lakes, rocks, flowers, cactus, Gulf Coast, and scenes of everyday life that were painted or drawn in a semi-abstract form that made bold use of color.
     

         Judd received numerous awards for his work, and while teaching at SMU his work was featured in many one-man shows in Texas including the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts (1946), Southern Methodist University (1950, 1965, 1969, 1981), Elizabet Ney Museum (1952), Sul Ross State College (1957), Texas Tech Museum (1959), Fort Worth Art Center (1962), and the Beaumont Museum of Art (1971). His work was also exhibited in art centers and museum exhibitions around the country including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (one of twelve artists selected for the exhibition American Painting Today, 1950), Denver Art Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. Judd’s work was also accepted into the permanent collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, and Southern Methodist University.
