Jim Harithas came to Houston in the 1970s, hired as director of the Contemporary Arts Museum. His path to that point zigzagged between the States and Europe. He was born in Maine in 1932 with a childhood split between Maine and Oklahoma, before his family settled in Germany, where his father was stationed after World War II. Harithas told the Smithsonian in 1979 his mother painted, so he took an interest in art around age six.
The Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, brought in Harithas in the ‘70s soon after the museum had relocated to new confines at the corner of Montrose and Bissonnet. Harithas immediately set about looking for nearby talent to show in the museum’s space. He showed work by Julian Schnabel, James Surls, Forrest Prince, Lynn Randolph, Terry Allen and others.
Harithas didn’t last long at the CAM, about four years, but after a peripatetic existence, he had found his home in Houston. He and Ann married in 1978.
