ProvenanceTerence Greider, (1932-2018)At an early age he started drawing and painting, often focusing on indigenous peoples, and he was fascinated by stories of early cultures. Earl Morris, a family friend, who was an archaeologist, became his role model for a full and rich life of scholarship and adventure. At the time of his death Terence Grieder was Professor Emeritus of Art History at the University of Texas at Austin. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Fine Arts from the University of Colorado in 1953. In 1956 he earned an M.S. in Applied Art (Painting) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and in 1961 received his Ph.D. in the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania with a dissertation on "The Development of Representational Painting on Maya Pottery." He joined the faculty at UT in 1961 where he taught until 2000, retiring as David Bruton Jr. Centennial Professor of Art History. Terry was an internationally renowned scholar of Pre-Columbian and Latin American art. He oversaw key excavations in the Andes and published his findings in a series of definitive books that reshaped the history of Latin American art and archaeology: Art and Archaeology of Pashash (1978), The Origins of Pre-Columbian Art (1982), La Galgada, Peru: A Pre-Ceramic Culture in Transition (Editor, 1988), and Art and Archaeology of Challuabamba, Ecuador (Editor, 2010). His scholarly papers were published in English, German, and Spanish language journals, and he also wrote a well-received introductory text, Artist and Audience (1990). Terry was a much-beloved teacher, whose gentle demeanor in graduate seminars enabled his students to join him in arriving at unique conclusions about the invention and diffusion of art and culture in the ancient world.
