Don Mangus: Ink Sketch Group, 1980
My long-time friend Tricia framed these sketches taken from a sketchbook done 36 years ago -- and has had them on displayed on her wall for many years. It's very touching that people have lived with my art for so many years...

Don Mangus: Jazz Intaglio Etching, c. 1977
My friend Wendell still has this print on display in his house. I gave it to him around 1977. It's nice to see your work still hanging around and being enjoyed after 38 years and counting...

The Art of Don Mangus: A Wide-Ranging Survey of My "Visual Puzzles"
 |
| I've always enjoyed perceptual puzzles where the viewer has to work to decode the image and flat pattern of the art marks and shapes to cognize the space and image. Don Mangus, Bird Cage, acrylic on paper, 1980. |
 |
| I did a series of these zoo birdcage paintings for my qualifying 1981 MFA exhibit. Each of these oil on stretched canvas pieces is the size of a door. Don Mangus, Cage Dyptych, oil on canvas, 1980 |
 |
| Savage Geometry series: Lion and Unicorn, Don Mangus, monotype, c.1995 |
 |
| Continuous line drawings are fun, because you can follow the path of a single line as it creates the image. Don Mangus, ballpoint pen on paper, 2013 |
 |
| A pleasing visual tension is created by abstract pattern competing with closely observed figurative drawing. Such imagery was a stable of drawing at SMU. Figure study from Roger Winter's Advanced Drawing class. Don Mangus, graphite and crayon on paper, c. 1978. |
 |
| I never tire of drawing jazz musicians. Here's another recent continuous line drawing. Don Mangus. Memory Portrait of Miles, ballpoint pen on paper, 2013 |
 |
| Don Mangus, Jazz Guitarist, ballpoint pen on paper, 2013 |
 |
| Don Mangus, To the Weekend, ballpoint pen on paper, 2013. |
 |
| Humor and mild surrealism are elements of some of my picture puzzles. I enjoy the dream-like magic realism of photomontage. Don Mangus, Family of Urnina, serigraph, 1980. |
 |
| Don Mangus, Dreams of a Better Future, serigraph, 1980 |
 |
| Don Mangus, Surrounded by Modern Art, serigraph, 1980 |
