The Amon Carter Museum of American Art’s current exhibits offer a look into America’s film history and abstract works.
The exhibit “Moving Pictures: Karl Struss and the Rise of Hollywood,” is on view through Aug. 25.
It examines the work of the iconic photographer and cinematographer from Hollywood’s silent film era. His early work in New York, his cinematic contributions to the film industry; and even his Oscar Award for cinematography are included.
Another exhibit combines photography, lithography; and mixed media Art; “Dario Robleto: The Signal”, explores themes relating to outer space, human totality/mortality, and how we interact and perceive both. This exhibit is on display through Oct 27.

The ideas of space and 3D art were explored in Number 235T, which closed June 9. “Number 235T” included dozens of organic structures with the largest pieces called “planets.” The artist, Leonardo Drew, made a site exclusive art piece to display how even the most individualistic pieces can fit together.
Of course the Carter’s permanent collection offers more “traditional” American art, reflecting the vast and varied cultures of America. Depictions of historic figures and symbols used throughout the course of U.S. history, sculptures influenced by Native Artwork, abstract paintings by black artists. The Carter’s main collection displays all this and more throughout the course of the year.
