Bob
Wygant holds a
special place in
Texas and the
Western heritage he
has painted
throughout his
career. A quiet man
of immense talent,
his paintings come
from his heart as
much as from his
brush. Breathtaking
in his detailed and
realistic approach,
his images make time
stand
still….creating
memories that offer
the viewer a glimpse
into a rich past
that is relived
through the artist’s
paintings. Wygant
has said, “I am
interested in
establishing a mood
in my paintings and
not a meaning. It is
the viewer who
brings the meaning
to the work." From
the romantic cowboys
to the rocky
landscape and
picturesque rivers
to the pleasures of
rural life, his
paintings have
brought the American
West to life to be
enjoyed and
treasured for
generations.
After majoring in
art at the
University of Texas
in Austin, he
returned home to
Houston to establish
his career. Wygant’s
first success was in
commissions by some
of the major oil
companies in Texas.
For several years,
the artist worked
quietly at home
painting for his
many clients. His
images are in
hundreds of homes
throughout Texas and
are treasured by
every owner.
Wygant’s growing
reputation resulted
in his being offered
a teaching position
at the University of
Houston, where he
inspired multitudes
of students for 16
years. The artist
also worked with the
internationally
famous Houston
Livestock Show in
judging students’
art and awarding
scholarships; a way
to give something
back to the
community.
Bob Wygant’s magical
use of acrylics
earned him a
reputation as a
master of this
medium. His
paintings are
vibrant, colorful
scenes that allow
the viewer to
participate in the
mood and emotion
emanating from his
subjects. He has
always been driven
to relay his love of
the Western
landscape and the
many memories of the
quiet, rural life
through his paint
brush.
Today, the artist
and his wife, Alla,
reside north of
Houston and enjoy a
relaxed, rural life
among the simple
pleasures that he
has always loved to
paint. Wygant, the
man, and his
outstanding talent
are held in high
esteem by the
Western art world,
which he has so
greatly influenced
in his own quiet
way.
These beautiful
canvas giclées are
reproductions of
some of the artist’s
most popular pieces.
Bob Wygant is a
revered figure with
such a unique style
in his genre that
every painting he
