Eddie Arning
Eddie Arning (1898–1993) was an American artist. He was born in the farming community of Germania, Texas. As a young adult, he was admitted into a Texas mental institution for violent acts. In 1964, after 60 years in the institution, he was introduced to crayons by Helen Mayfield, an Austin artist who worked in the hospital that summer, and began coloring. After a few years of using crayons, Arning switched to oil pastels and began producing more complex compositions. His early works were autobiographical and depict scenes from his childhood with animals, flowers, windmills and churches. Later, Arning became inspired by newspapers, advertisements and magazine illustrations and was producing more graphic images. Over ten years, Arning produced over 2000 drawings.

Artists From Texas
An artist is a person engaged in an activity related to creating art, practicing the arts, or demonstrating an art.
