(Texas/North Carolina, 1920-1998)
Self-Portrait, c. 1950s, unsigned, oil on canvas, 36 x 27 in.; gilt wood frame, 41-1/2 x 32-1/2 in.
Note: Jack Key Flanagan (1920-1998) was an artist and preeminent conservator in Houston. Born in Georgia, he moved with his family to Houston at an early age. In high school he studied art under Fannie Volck, a founding member of the Houston Public Art League (forerunner of the MFAH). In the late 1930s, he was a student at the Museum School at the MFAH where he studied under Frederic Browne, Benjamin Ploger and Robert Joy. He won the museum purchase prize in the 20th Annual Houston Artists Exhibition at the MFAH in 1945 for his painting "Flowers." (Accession# 45.2)
In the forties he started his work as a conservator. He conserved paintings for the MFAH from approximately 1940 through 1985. His studio was in the MFAH Watkin building until 1958 when Cullinan Hall was built; he then moved to a private studio where he continued to work for the MFAH as well as other prominent institutions and citizens including the Blaffers, de Menils, Mastersons, Ima Hogg, The New Orleans Museum of Art, Rice University, the Kimball Art Museum, and the Stark Foundation. In his studio he was assisted by his companion, fellow artist and conservator Jeanne Billfaldt (1920-2002). In 1992, they moved their studio to Asheville, North Carolina where he continued to work until his death in 1998.
Accompanied by a binder of period photos of Jack Flanagan in his restoration studio working on a project for the MFA Houston.
