~  Jerry Bywaters (1906-89)  ~
 
         Jerry Bywaters is generally considered to be a Regionalist painter and member of the Dallas Nine. Active in Texas during the 1930s and 40s, Bywaters often loaded his paintings with ambiguity and satire. They also show the influences of Social Realism and a smattering of Surrealism. Although unquestionably connected to Regionalist sensibilities, a number of his works exhibit both the ultrasharp detailing and quirkiness of the Magic Realist aesthetic.
