| Longtime Beaumont Art League supporter, acclaimed artist and educator, Jerry Newman, passed away Tuesday, May 27, 2008. He taught art to literally hundreds of students during his 37 years at Lamar University. Many have become very well known and attribute much of their success and abilitiy to the foundation that they received from Mr. Newman. He retired in 1999 as a distinguished professor emeritus. Newman's art is displayed locally and throughout the state and nation. In 1981, he was honored by the Texas Legislature as Texas State Artist. Even after retiring he continued sharing his talent as a teacher to many in the area. He will be greatly missed by so many, Colleen M. Burns, former student of Mr. Newman |
