This text accompanies Looking for the Right Time, a solo exhibition of the works of Bert L. Long,
Jr. (1940-2013), one of the most talented, versatile, and prolific artists ever to hail from the state of Texas. With his
paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and photographs, he sought above all else to communicate with the viewer. As Bert
once put it, “I paint in order to help people understand their ills so that they might cure them.”
