Kermit Oliver & Hermès: Storytelling on Silk & Canvas
Now On View Through June 29

Kermit Oliver & Hermes: Storytelling on Silk & Canvas is an exhibit of original artwork and Hermes scarves designed by native Texan, Kermit Oliver, the first American to design scarves for the esteemed French fashion house. Just years after his graduation from Texas Southern University in 1967, Oliver, originally from Refugio, Texas and the son of a cowboy, became an acclaimed artist in Houston with art aficionados and socialites flocking to his exhibit openings.  Between 1984 and 2004, Oliver designed 17 scarves for Hermes, each one following the themes of Native Americans, Texas, or the Southwest.
