Wright & Ferguson Funeral Home on High Street is in charge of arrangements. Mr. Allen was born December 22, 1933. He graduated high school from Columbia Military Academy and then went on to Mississippi College and the University of Mississippi where he earned a business degree. After graduation he served in the Army G-2 Intelligence. He had always had an interest in art and in 1965 he opened Bryant Galleries in Jackson, Mississippi. A year later he opened a New Orleans gallery in the French Quarter. During this time he also served as Education Director for the Art Association of Jackson. He would give slide presentations at the Municipal Gallery and give talks at schools. Bryant grew his gallery business by traveling throughout the country and around the world in search of fine artists that he could introduce to collectors in Mississippi and to visitors to New Orleans. Over the years, he and his wife and co-owner, Doris Allen, traveled to such countries as France, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Haiti, Mexico and Canada. Bryant's desire to discover new talent led him to artists as far away as Buenos Aires and Ukraine. At one time, there were five Bryant Galleries' locations: Jackson, New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta and Palm Beach. Other locations were Houston and Dallas, Texas. Among the many artists who began their career with Bryant Galleries were Wyatt Waters, William Dunlap, George Thurmond, Rolland Golden and Donny Finley. Bryant had also represented such national and internationally noted artists as Alvar, Dean Mitchell, Leonardo Nierman, Alan Flattmann, Juan Medina, Ed Dwight and many others. The New Orleans gallery he built is now the oldest and largest gallery in New Orleans and continues in operation in the historic French Quarter. Bryant loved animals and over the years he had a series of Bassett Hounds. Jackson residents knew Bryant for years as the man who drove to work with a blue and gold Macaw on his shoulder. Seymour, the Macaw, was a beloved pet to the Allens for 28 years. Seymour passed away late last year. The Aliens made many trips to the LSU Veterinary School trying to save their beloved pet. When not searching for new artists, Mr. Allen was an avid Ole Miss football fan. His other passion included cooking. Mr .Allen is survived by his wife, Doris Allen and two sisters, Ros Haertlein of Fredricksburg, Texas and Jeane Ferrin of Austin, Texas. Also nephew Albert Haertlein and nieces Alma Hartlein, Deeny Hartlein, Flavia Ferrin Gaskin, Beth Ferrin Williams and great nephews Michael and Bryant Haertlein, who worked for a time at the Bryant Galleries of New Orleans.

The pallbearers will be Howard Stover, Tom Grantham, Drew Sampson, George Lewis, Eddie Guillot and David Lambert. Honorary pallbearers are George Thurmond, Alan Flattmann, Ed Dwight, Dean Mitchell, Dr. Dan Woodliff and Dr. Bobby Graham. Memorials in Bryant's name can be made to the charity of one's choice.
