Bruce Marshall is a fourth generation Texan. He lives on the
historic Eanes-Marshall Ranch near Austin with his family. He is the descendent of a Confederate General,
grew up on ranches in Texas and Mexico, and was taught to ride and
shoot by an uncle who was a Texas Ranger! Among Marshall's
best known works are: "The Texas Citizen Soldier" (6' x
12') commissioned by the National Guard Association of Texas and
hanging in the Texas Room at the National Infantry Museum; "The
Patriot" (5' x 9') hanging in the Mahler Student Center of
Dallas Baptist University; and "Ten Historic Texans"
commissioned by Southwestern Bell as a cover for over 15 million
telephone directories. His work is also in the permanent
collection of the War Memorial Museum in Virginia, the University of
Texas Institute of Texan Cultures in San Antonio, the San Jacinto
Monument, and the Alamo. His work has been exhibited at the
Texas Capitol Rotunda four times, the University of Arizona, the
Cannon House Office Building in Washington DC, the Smithsonian, and
the Musee de l'Homme in Brussels, Belgium. The State of Texas created
a special title for him: Artist of the 65th
Legislature. Other unique titles bestowed upon him have
been Artist in Residence of the Texas Navy and National Artist, Confederate States of
America. Marshall wrote and illustrated both Uniforms
of the Alamo and the Texas Revolution and Uniforms
of the Republic of Texas.
These books are the culmination of years of research, feature lavish
watercolors, and are available from Schiffer Publishing. His
work is also featured in Soldiers of Texas by the Texian
Press and Art and Art Objects by John H. Jenkins. His biography,
Bruce Marshall: The Man &
His Legacy by Dr. James Semones, is forthcoming.
