Dear El Paso Museum of Art Members,
Greetings from the Museums and Cultural Affairs Department
(MCAD). I am pleased to share with you an update on many
of the projects we have been busy completing since my arrival
as Director on February 2. We opened the exciting El Paso
Museum of History Digital Wall, completed the restoration
of Luis Jiménez’s Los Lagartos for San Jancinto Plaza, and
celebrated the installation of several public art works:
Matthew Geller’s Chroma Booster sculpture and Steven Ingle’s
Piñatas Plaza in the Pedestrian Plaza walkway under the
Durango Street Overpass; and Charlotte Paul’s Time Expanding, a
public art work at the El Paso Museum of History outdoor pavilion.
In the midst of all of these exciting projects, what has remained
constant since the first week of my arrival were my numerous
weekly meetings with Dr. Michael Tomor regarding the El Paso
Museum of Art. Now that Dr. Tomor has transitioned to the
Tampa Museum of Art, we are in the process of launching a
national search for his replacement. Guided by the wisdom,
1
history and passion of a
well-developed community
advisory committee, the City is
dedicated to seek out the best and
brightest director to lead the El Paso Museum of Art on its
next journey.
Please contact my office should you have any questions or
would like to talk. I certainly welcome the opportunity to
meet you and want to hear your perspectives on the world
of art and culture in El Paso. In fact, as a new arrival to the
community it would be helpful and I do look forward to
getting to know you all over the coming months ahead.

MIC HAE L TO MO R, PH.D.
As a fourth grade student at Western Hills Elementary School
on the West Side of El Paso, my teacher Mrs. Maggie Maguire
put me on a track of art appreciation that has never ended. I
remember the ease at which I could absorb knowledge about
visual images racing in front of me in the form of flash cards
and posters. But when we had the opportunity to visit the El
Paso Museum of Art on a school field trip, it was the exposure
to original artwork that would take my breath. I remember the
awe I felt walking through the European collections, knowing
something unearthly and special about the works was speaking
to me, sharing with me their stories about who created them,
where they were created, and why they existed. Not knowing
anything about art history or the artwork at that time didn’t
matter. They were my stories, fabricated out of the dreams
of a child with a very active imagination. It is, however, an
experience that I continue to have even to this day, walking
through museums, reading the objects so carefully created by
artists, and having the art quietly declare to me its meaning.
My imagination is every bit as active, but the stories are more
real, being based now on forty years of exposure to the real
histories of art, culture, and societies.
The El Paso Museum of Art continued to emerge throughout
my teenage years, and then again as an Art History doctoral
candidate at Penn State. One of the paintings in that very
European collection was included in my dissertation. So to say
the El Paso Museum of Art is part of me is an understatement.
It has been nine years since my arrival as director of the El Paso
Museum of Art, but it never dawned on me until 2006 that I
could be the next director of the museum that was so influential
at such an early age. Knowingly, I would have the opportunity
to give back to the community that provided to me so much.
Unknowingly, the decision at that time was the most fulfilling
decision I had ever made in my professional career.
we want to experience, and where we want to be now and in
the future; we identify our options and then make choices. In
February, I informed the El Paso Museum of Art Foundation
and the City of El Paso, it was time for me to continue my
career at the Tampa Museum of Art, taking the remarkable
opportunities and learning experiences afforded to me in
El Paso to another community.
It has truly been a privilege for me to lead this outstanding
team at the El Paso Museum of Art. Every educational
program, every artist exhibited, every exhibition and every
special event has allowed me to connect bright, talented, and
dedicated scholars and artists to members of the community.
For me, friendships developed, close relationships deepened,
and a richness in my professional career spilled over into a
wealth of personal connections. Thank you for making that
happen for me and for the El Paso Museum of Art.
Thank you for your support of the El Paso Museum of Art, for
the hard work of my team, and for the valuable work they have
and will continue to provide to you for many years to come.

STONE WORKS
FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION
Through December 6, 2015
Mac Rogers Fine Arts Gallery
Modern Stone Totems is a new
exhibition of abstract yet figuratively
suggestive sculptures installed in early
December in the recently named Mac
Rogers Fine Arts Gallery. Variously
composed of different types of granite,
limestone, marble, and onyx, and dating
from 1971 to 1990, the four totem-like
modernist stone sculptures entered the
EPMA collection as gifts or purchases
from 1971 to 2011. The unique surfaces
and forms of each piece invite individual
study, while their installation together in
the space proposes a dialogue between
the works’ muted colors and between
their evocative silhouettes.
The first of these sculptures to enter
the collection was The Eagle, carved
in 1971 by the Mexican painter and
sculptor Leonardo Nierman (born 1932),
and gifted by the artist the same year.
At first glance the work might suggest
the extremely simplified profile of a
standing human figure, but then we
can observe the sidewise soaring eagle
indicated by the title. The sleek and
waxy surfaces of this delicately and
naturally fissured piece might recall
the purified natural forms and contours
in the work of Romanian-born French
modernist sculptor Brancusi, while its
fragile white onyx material transmits
light in subtle ways when struck by the
sun’s rays through the lobby windows.
The other three sculptures in this
elegant ensemble were created by
American sculptors with strong Texas
connections: Song Bird (1963) by Ben
Woitena (born 1942); Guardian (1988)
by Jill Sablosky (born 1954); and Ellipse
(1990) by Jesús Moroles (born 1950).
Song Bird was the latest addition to
the collection, gifted in 2011 by the
previous EPMA director, Becky Duval
Reese, and her husband. Fashioned
from Georgia gray marble, Song Bird
leaves angles of the original rectangular
stone slab intact, which encourages us
to consider how the artist liberated his
forms, and also frames and underlines
the compositional sense of ascendant
thrust. The sculpture by Jesús Moroles,
Ellipse, features Moroles’ favorite
medium, granite (in this case, Italian
and Texan granites), a material he
poetically considers “the core and heart
of the universe.” And finally, Sablosky’s
multi-piece Guardian incorporates
Trani marble with Indiana, Cordova,
Fossil, and Leuders limestones. While
the varied textures and forms of these
four sculptures hint at tactile pleasures
and encourage us to imagine their
carving, each of them also resembles
a modern totem pole, encouraging us
to walk between them and consider
their potential shared, separate, and
suggested meanings.

The El Paso Museum of Art proudly
presents in the Dede Rogers Special
Events Gallery part one of the two-part
exhibition Chicano Colors that includes
twenty-six limited edition gicleé prints of
paintings from the renowned Chicano art
collector Cheech Marin and twenty-eight
linocut portraits by Artemio Rodriguez of
each featured artist, the collector and the
project artistic director.
The exhibition is from a print portfolio
commissioned by Marin to advance
Chicano art as a recognized school
of American art and increase public
accessibility to this work. The portfolio
was produced at Richard Duardo’s Los
Angeles print shop, Modern Multiples,
which has since the 1970s enabled artists
to use art as a community building
mechanism. Each institution that
hosted the traveling exhibition Chicano
Visions: American Painters on the Verge
from Marin’s collection were fortunate
recipients of the collection portfolio. The
prominent Chicano artists represented
in the exhibition include: Carlos Almaraz,
Gaspar Enríquez, Margaret García,
Rupert García, Leo Limón, Carmen
Lomas Garza, Frank Romero, Eloy Torrez,
Patssi Valdez, Vincent Valdez and George
Yepes, among others. Depicting urban
life and the Chicano experience between
1969 and 2001 the portfolio manifests
the realistic side of the wide diversity of
Chicano artistic practice.
In addition to these prints the exhibition
will also include a documentary video

PULPO
DON COEN: T H E MIGRANT S ERIES
ORGANIZED BY PHOENIX AR T MUSEUM
Through June 14, 2015
Woody and Gayle Hunt Family Gallery
Around the world the agriculture industry relies on seasonal
laborers to harvest crops. In America, it is estimated that
1.3 million citizens travel from state to state working on
farms, with many more traveling under work visas or as
undocumented laborers from other countries. The work is
difficult, the pay is typically low, and the long-term exposure
to pesticides used on crops is dangerous to the workers’
health. Yet the service the migrant farmers provide is vital to
American agriculture and our nation’s economy.
Colorado-based artist Don Coen grew up working on his
family’s farm and has an appreciation for the hardships
farm laborers endure. For more than three decades, he has
focused on making realistic paintings and finding interest in
rural, everyday life. Executed with a non-traditional airbrush
technique, The Migrant Series features 15 large-scale images
created between 2001 and 2010. In 1992, Coen began taking
photographs of migrant farmers during his travels around the
country, an interest that developed out of his early experience
of working on his family farm. He typically interacted directly
with the workers he encountered and, wherever possible,
received permission to take their photographs. The artist’s
collection of photographs grew into the thousands before he
began his painting series in 2001.
9
The Migrant Series is Coen’s attempt to bring attention to
America’s traveling farm laborers, a rare subject in American
art history. “For the average American,” states the artist,
“migrant workers are an invisible and transparent component
of our world.” Coen’s emphasis is on the humanity of the
individuals portrayed, and the large scale makes them too
big to ignore. In this way, Coen hopes to bring attention to a
segment of society that is too often overlooked.
Born on November 24, 1935, in Lamar, Colorado, Don Coen
attended Lamar Junior College and then received his BA
in Advertising Design from the University of Denver and his
MFA in Ceramics and Fine Art from the University of Northern
Colorado. Represented by the Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa
Fe, he has had one-man shows across the American West,
Minnesota, and Illinois, and his work is found in public and
corporate collections from Idaho to Texas and from Arizona
to New York. Information throughout the exhibition draws
on the artist’s own observations about the people he has
encountered while traveling to farms in California, Colorado,
Florida, Idaho, Oregon, and Texas. This is the second showing
of The Migrant Series after its debut in fall of 2014 at the
Phoenix Art Museum. Don Coen: The Migrant Series is a
traveling exhibition organized by the Phoenix Art Museum.

In conjunction with American painter Don Coen’s Migrant Series (2001–10)
touring from the Phoenix Art Museum, the El Paso Museum of Art is
pleased to present PULPO (2011), a recent creation by one of Mexico’s
leading video/performance artists, Yoshua Okón. Despite their contrasting
media and meanings, each artist attempts to bring out of the shadows the
situation of a group of undocumented laborers in the United States, whom
U.S. President Obama recently referred to as the “workers who pick our
fruit and make our beds.”

Courtesy of the artist
PULPO, or Octopus, takes its title from the name Guatemalans
gave to the United Fruit Company, a powerful U.S. corporation
whose neocolonialist exploitation of Central American
countries during the twentieth century included influencing the
coup d’état in which the Central Intelligence Agency ousted
Guatemala’s progressive socialist President Jacobo Árbenz
in 1954. What followed were almost forty years of civil war, in
which financial self-interest led the US to support a military
dictatorship responsible for the genocide of approximately
200,000 native Mayans from the Guatemalan highlands.
Octopus restages the war in the parking lot of a Northeast Los
Angeles Home Depot. Dressed in opposing black and white
T-shirts, the “actors” who perform actually fought on either side
of the war as young men. The artist hired them from among the
undocumented immigrants who regularly gather at the Home
Depot in search of casual construction work, and he filmed
without official authorization until security guards stopped him
two days later. Among other qualities, Okón’s Octopus operates
as a parody of traditional historical reenactments, which
entertain us by reinforcing popular conceptions of “history.”
In the case of Okón’s performers, the catastrophic past of their
civil war fueled by American greed has a causal relationship
to their present situation, where they now find themselves as
illegal day laborers in southern California. The Home Depot
customers who amble or drive past the men’s absurd war games
with almost complete indifference are also crucial to Okón’s
meanings, since their lack of reaction underlines the men’s
invisibility as a marginalized underclass.
Yoshua Okón specializes in single or multichannel video-andinstallation pieces that document ordinary people acting out
the artist’s instructions. Born in Mexico City in 1970, the artist
received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Concordia
University in Montreal in 1994, and his Master of Fine Arts
degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, on a
Fulbright Scholarship in 2002. His work is in public collections
in the Americas and Europe, and he has had solo exhibitions
across these regions as well as in Israel and Japan. The artist
completed Octopus during a residency at the Hammer Museum
in Los Angeles, where the work premiered in 2011.

Modern Masters Series: Highlights from the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation
June 5 – September 24, 2015
Peter and Margaret de Wetter Gallery
Scheduled this summer is the third installment of the EPMA’s
Modern Masters Series: Highlights from the Solomon R.
Guggenheim Museum. The series, which began with Paul
Cézanne and Pablo Picasso: Birth of Cubism (fall 2014–
winter 2015), followed by Vasily Kandinsky and Franz Marc:
Expressionism and Der Blaue Reiter (spring 2015), is an
exciting collaboration between the EPMA and the Solomon R.
Guggenheim Museum and Foundation. The Modern Masters
Series brings to El Paso for the first time major expressions
of early 20th–century European modernist painting from the
Guggenheim’s stellar collection of art from this period.
The School of Paris, featuring bold color, expressive geometry,
and explosive movement in two important oil on canvas
works by the French modernists Robert Delaunay and Albert
Gleizes, will be presented throughout the summer. Delaunay
and Gleizes are affiliated with the so-called School of Paris, a
phrase applied to both the French and non-French modernists
that congregated in the international art center of Paris during
the first half of the 20th century. Delaunay’s Circular Forms
is a beautiful summation of this artist’s Orphic style, which
became one of the most significant offshoots of Cubism; and
Gleizes’s On the Brooklyn Bridge is a vibrant, indeed almost
anthropomorphic expression of the inspiration he found in the
modern design of the Brooklyn Bridge when he visited New
York in 1915 and 1917.
Delaunay and Gleizes make a perfect pairing to follow the
earlier installation of works by Cézanne and Picasso, who
along with Georges Braque invented Cubism. Gleizes began
painting in a late Impressionist style at the turn of the century
11
but by 1910 he was painting in a proto-Cubist style. His view
of Picasso’s and Braque’s works in 1911 led him to develop
his own brand of Cubism, as well as to co-author the book
Du Cubisme, published in Paris in 1912 as the first theoretical
treatise on Cubism. By 1910 Gleizes was closely associated with
Delaunay, whose coloristic offshoot of Cubism was first called
Orphism by vanguard poet Guillaume Apollinaire. Notably,
Apollinaire derived the term “Orphism” from Orpheus, the
legendary lyre player of Greek mythology, since he admired
how the artist’s creations of complementary colors and
composite forms were as independent of descriptive reality
as were musical compositions. Certainly Delaunay’s beautiful
Circular Forms suggests through its variously saturated primary
colors, concentric circles, and rhythmic arrangements both the
harmonies and reverberations of joyful contrapuntal music.

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
T H E IM M A CULATE CONCEPTION
Through November 15, 2015
Dorrance and Olga Roderick Gallery: Retablo Niche
This exhibition considers the various ways the Immaculate
Conception has been portrayed in Mexican retablos, and
the influence that European paintings such as Francisco de
Zurbarán’s Seventeenth Century painting of the Immaculate
Conception had on Mexican painters of the subject. The
twenty-seven nineteenth-century retablos included here
all reflect, in terms of color and iconography, the specific
devotional concerns mandated by the Catholic Church with a
rich diversity of interpretation.
The majority of the Immaculate Conception retablos in the
EPMA collection show a modified variation of Zurbarán’s, the
Virgin Mary from the waist up with her hands crossed over her
heart while pressing a white dove to her chest. The colors of her
clothes, blue and white, meant to symbolize her fidelity, divine
love and truth, are consistent throughout the exhibition with
one exception. However, a small number of retablos included
portray the Immaculate Conception with the Virgin standing
with the sun visible behind her. Other closely related variations,
also found in the collection, are those depicting The Medal
of the Immaculate Conception, The Pure Conception and
The Soul of the Virgin Mary. In addition, two retablos of The
Annunciation are included because they portray the Virgin in
the same waist-up position.
Two retablos of the Virgin Mary and her mother, Saint Anne,
book-end the exhibition because they emphasize the notion
of the purity shared between the two and the breadth of the
museum’s collection.

The artworks in the exhibition range in date from the 1960s to
the 2000s, and are the creations of several different American
and European artists, such as the Abstract Expressionist
Sam Francis (American, 1923–1994) and the leader of the
international CoBrA group, Karel Appel (Dutch, 1921–2006). A
significant number of the artists hail from Texas, for instance
the Houston-based painters David Aylsworth (born 1966) and
Brian Portman (born 1960). While Aylsworth’s massive 1997
Oral Fixation features large flat areas of primary colors and
creates Freudian whimsy from suggestive silhouettes, Portman’s
1988 Elephant Slide is a darkly monochromatic example of his
robust Abstract Expressionist style. In addition to Abstract
Expressionism, the exhibition Amplified Abstraction offers us
the opportunity to explore styles and themes such as geometric
abstraction, Cubist legacies, and nature simplified.

UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
Since the advent of Abstract Expressionism followed by Postpainterly Abstraction in the mid-twentieth century, painters
and other artists have been liberated to explore large-scale
abstraction through expressive gestures, geometric forms,
biomorphic shapes, minimal palettes, or new materials.
Composed exclusively of works from the holdings of the
El Paso Museum of Art, Amplified Abstraction presents all
these approaches and more—revealing the variety to be
discovered in monumental abstraction, and highlighting its
singular power to arrest us aesthetically, engage us viscerally,
or tease us perceptually.

Dede Rogers Special Events Gallery
Continuing the recent innovation at the EPMA of presenting
monographic exhibitions of area artists in the Dede Rogers
Special Events Gallery, this fall the Museum will highlight the
work of Hal Marcus, born in El Paso in 1951 and working as a
painter for over the last 40 years. Marcus specializes in colorful
and lyrical acrylics and mixed media on canvas, which are
variously populated by a panoply of lovers, the artist and his
model, his family, harlequins, or kings and queens of hearts,
and which frequently represent scenes of the artist’s homeland,
El Paso. Marcus’ singular commitment to art has extended
to teaching (at the EPMA in the 1970s and then at his own
gallery in the 1990s); promoting regional art (forming in 2008
the Early El Paso Art Collectors Organization); and supporting
local artistic culture in sundry ways (for example, regularly
participating in the KCOS Art Auction and serving on the EPMA
Advisory Board from 2004 to 2007).
Of Jewish-Arabic descent, Marcus embraced his role as an artist
by age 15, and was encouraged by high school art teachers
Ysela Fulton O’Malley and Lupe Casillas-Lowenberg. The
exhibition Hal Marcus / Lyric Modern will feature paintings
from different periods of the painter’s career—from the earliest
days when he was particularly inspired by the Belarussianborn French-Jewish painter Marc Chagall— up to the present,
13
including new work unveiled publically for the first time. The
show includes some of Marcus’ small contour ink and pencil
drawings, which for him are an important component of his
creative process by allowing the ideas for his paintings to
originate with instinctual purity.
The art of Hal Marcus melds his long-cherished themes and
approach with a creative output marked by prolific production
and ever-evolving figures and arrangements. In light of his
early love of and identification with Marc Chagall, the timing
of Marcus’ solo show at the EPMA fortuitously coincides with
the presentation upstairs of Chagall’s masterpiece from the
Guggenheim Museum, the Green Violinist. Other influences
evident in Marcus’s painting range from the great Western
modernists Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Amedeo
Modigliani to folk art and Persian miniatures. Yet, similar to
the way that his earliest hero Chagall repeatedly represented
personal symbols of his beloved native village of Vitebsk,
Marcus has consistently reimagined people and places familiar
and dear to him, from the streets of El Paso and the markets of
Ciudad Juárez, to the individuals at the core of his artistic and
personal universe.

Modern Masters Series: Highlights from the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation
October 2, 2015 – January 29, 2016
Peter and Margaret de Wetter Gallery
The fourth exhibition in the Modern Masters Series:
Highlights from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
will be the first to focus on a single masterpiece—the
Green Violinist by Marc Chagall (1887–1985). While the
important art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall
as the quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th century,
Chagall intended his work as “not the dream of one
people but of all humanity.” Indeed, in this regard
one might note that Chagall’s style, which shows the
influence of folk art and possesses rich coloration,
engages viewers more easily than many other strains of
modernism such as monochromatic Cubism. The artist’s
Green Violinist stands as an iconic image by virtue of its
monumental size, its autobiographically symbolic figure
of Yiddish fiddler, and its masterful melding of Chagall’s
modernism with the nostalgia he consistently felt for his
Hassidic background in Vitebsk, Belarussia.
Born in Vitebsk (now Viciebsk) in 1887, Chagall attended
the traditional Jewish school and was then allowed to
enter the local Russian high school, where he excelled
in geometry and drawing and already embraced the
desire to become a professional artist. After studying in
St. Petersburg, Chagall lived and worked in Paris from
1910 to 1914, at which time he developed his personal
modernist style that would remain consistent throughout
his long career (the artist lived to almost 100), became
acquainted with other avant-garde painters such
as Robert Delaunay, Fernand Léger, and Amedeo
Modigliani, and found his first public praise from
vanguard poets such as Blaise Cendrars and Guillaume
Apollinaire. Leaving Paris in 1914 for a visit to his native
town of Vitebsk, Chagall remained in Russia for eight
years after the Russian border was closed because of
World War I. Moving back to Paris in 1923 with his young
wife and daughter, Chagall became a French citizen in
1937. In 1941 he was forced to seek temporary asylum in
the United States, where he remained until a few years
after the end of World War II.
Painted in 1923–24 soon after Chagall’s first return to
Paris, the Green Violinist is one of many pictures in
which the artist created a dream world of personal
imagery founded in his nostalgic reflections of his
homeland. The large oil on canvas revisits a subject
Chagall had repeated in paintings since 1912,
and the Guggenheim composition is arguably his
most powerful expression of the theme. Besides the
principal figure, the Green Violinist features several
enduring traits and motifs of Chagall’s painting: dynamic
planes of modulated color, lively village scene, floating
figure high in the sky, and animals such as doe-eyed cow
in the lower left corner.

S CULP TUR E AT EPMA
CHAOS REDUX BY JEDD NOVATT
Soon to be installed in the EPMA’s Patricia and Jonathan Rogers
Grand Lobby is the latest addition to the Museum’s growing
collection of monumental sculpture—Chaos Redux (2005) by
Jedd Novatt, an American sculptor whose works are found
in collections around the world. Some of the most recent
installations of the artist’s work include that of Chaos Nervion
in Bilbao, Spain, and Chaos SAS and Chaos Bizkaia at the
new Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) in Florida. Created in
2005 and gifted anonymously this year to the EPMA, Novatt’s
Chaos Redux stands as the first acquisition of this major
sculptor’s art by a Texas institution.
The 10-and-a-half-feet-tall bronze Chaos Redux arrived in El Paso
from Yountville, California, in November. Soon thereafter the
Museum’s Preparator, Nick Muñoz, consulted with the artist on
the design of an appropriate base for the sculpture’s installation
in the Rogers Grand Lobby. There it joins a dialogue with other
monumental works by the American Abstract Expressionist Sam
Gilliam and the Texas artists James Surls and Gaspar Enríquez.
Although Novatt’s sculpture suggests cube-like forms, none
of the elements is a pure cube, as each component is carved
by hand from wax before being cast into bronze. The result
is a vibrant composition that brings implied movement and
organicism out of geometry and results in what could be termed
a large-scale three-dimensional drawing in space.

Novatt was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1958, and graduated
from Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, in 1980,
and the Lacoste School of the Arts in southern France in
1981; he now divides his time between studios in New York,
Normandy, and Spain’s Basque region. It is for the Chaos series
in bronze or welded steel that the sculptor is best known. In
these works Novatt explores the tensions specific to sculpture
and the forces that bring balance or disequilibrium to threedimensional form. In relation to the Chaos series the artist has
remarked, “The Greeks defined chaos as the nothingness out of
which the first objects of existence appeared...A space lacking
in orientation and order, yet out of which emerges all that makes
up our collective experience with scale and finally form.”
E PM A G IFT FROM NANCY HAMILT O N :
M EXICA N R ETABLOS
The El Paso Museum of Art is excited to announce a significant
gift to the museum’s collection. Ms. Nancy Hamilton, a lifetime
resident of El Paso, has generously designated the EPMA as the
recipient of her collection of 492 retablos and ex-votos as well
as numerous tin frames (nichos).
Ms. Hamilton was born August 22, 1929 in El Paso, Texas and
graduated from Austin High School, El Paso, TX in 1949. She
earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and a Master
of Arts degree in English from Texas Western College (UTEP)
and spent her entire professional career in El Paso as a writer,
journalist, public relations specialist and as a local historian. She
retired in 1990 as Associate Director of Texas Western Press
of the University of Texas at El Paso. Ms. Hamilton received
national recognition in the fields of fine arts, journalism and
liberal arts. Her professional contributions to the community
have been enhanced through her collecting of Mexican folk art
paintings known as retablos which have been exhibited in many

Gift of Nancy Hamilton

The existing EPMA retablo collection has come from a variety
of sources, but most importantly thanks to gifts from the
following major patrons: Dorrance and Olga Roderick, Frank
and Sara McKnight, as well as the McKnight couple’s children,
Dr. Steven McKnight, Elizabeth McKnight Manning, and Nancy
McKnight Howell. The extensive retablo gift from Nancy
Hamilton represents a continuation of this generosity within one
of the most important realms of our institution’s collection and
collecting mission.
The EPMA expresses its gratitude to Sugar Goodman for this
latest example of her support to El Paso, and extends its thanks
to the volunteer members of the EPMA Accessions Committee,
who gave generously of their time to vet the works: they
are Holly Cox, Susan Davidoff, Gaspar Enríquez, Jacqueline
Mitchell, Rene Nevarez, Alma Oaxaca, Juan Sandoval, Mary
Scott, and Karla Zanelli.

E P MA G IFT FR OM THE ESTATE OF
G E R TR UD E A . GOODMAN:
Regional to International, and Historical
to Contemporary Art
Early last fall the EPMA was the recipient of a most generous
gift of more than 170 works of art from the Estate of Gertrude
“Sugar” Goodman, an avid art collector and principal longtime
patron of the Museum as well as other El Paso cultural and
social organizations. Sugar Goodman’s overall collection of
450+ works is a diverse mix of regional, international, historical,
and contemporary art, including items collected by other
family members. Through study, research, and a series of
meetings, the Director, Curators, and Accessions Committee
vetted the Goodman collection to ascertain which objects
were appropriate to the EPMA mission of collecting works that
support its strengths in American, European, and Mexican art.
Together, the pieces coming to the EPMA from the Goodman
Estate enrich our holdings in each of those three general
areas, particularly in 19th- and 20th-century European prints
(for instance, Francisco de Goya, Edgar Degas, Käthe Kollwitz,
Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso) and historical paintings by
regional artists (Tom Lea, Peter Hurd, Manual Acosta, Hari Kidd,
and Ysela Fulton O’Malley, as some examples). The gift also
includes prints and drawings by major American and Mexican
artists such as Mary Cassatt, James McNeill Whistler, Robert
Henri, John Sloan, Grant Wood, Alexander Calder, Rufino
Tamayo, and Francisco Zúñiga.
Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954)

Gift of Gertrude A. Goodman
Collection of El Paso Museum of Art
Among the many choice works that constitute this estate
gift are several each by Tom Lea and Manual Acosta, such as
Lea’s detailed study drawing for El Domador Sanchez, a large
watercolor from 1967 that entered the Museum’s collection
in 2011. The Museum accepted about a dozen works by
Manual Acosta from the Goodman collection, including
the artist’s 1954 portrait of Sugar with her beloved pet dog,
entitled Napoleon and His Mistress. The Goodman gift also
brings to the EPMA important works by many regional historical
and living artists not previously represented in our collections;
to name only a few, these include Frederick Carter, Louie Ewing,
Albert Wong, and Aleksander Titovets.
The review of the Goodman collection included weeding out
works that were mechanical reproductions or in poor condition,
and items inappropriate because they were impressions of
original prints already at the Museum or because they fell
out of the institution’s collecting areas (a handful of Japanese
woodblock prints, for example).

S PRIN G BREAK CAM PS
Thanks to generous funds donated by Kirk and Judy Robison,
the Peter and Margaret de Wetter Gallery has been turned
into a reflective space for the run of Modern Masters Series:
Highlights from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. With
each new cycle in the Guggenheim series, visitors will be able
to explore the artwork closely through observations, books and
gallery prompts. During the first cycle, more than 500 visitors
made their own artwork in response to the paintings on view.
Some tried their hand at cubism, using angles to create figures
and scenes. Others used the fake fruit provided as inspiration
for their own still life compositions. We have included a couple
of examples here. The opportunities for responsive creativity
continued during the next cycle, with explorations of color
theory and animal forms.
In March, the Museum offered
four camps during Spring
Break 2015. Students learned
how to make Japanese style
characters, how to make books,
how to make art from glue, and
how to paint with watercolors.
Thanks to a generous grant
from the Texas Commission
on the Arts, the Education
Department was able to offer
10 scholarships to local youth
with financial need.

Summer Camps run June 30-August 7. The EPMA will have 55
scholarships to distribute based on financial need. Check our
website for more details and scholarship applications.
Join us the 2nd Saturday of each month to release your inner
crafter or artist. Various tools, equipment, and supplies will be
available to the public at no cost. Be inspired by masterworks
from the Guggenheim collection to create your own masterpiece.
The EPMA is actively seeking volunteers to assist us with
the management of this space. Volunteers will work with the
workspace manager and be responsible for opening the space,
maintaining equipment, and overseeing the general operations.

This January EPMA partnered with the El Paso chapter of
the Alzheimer’s Association to start a social engagement
program. Impressions offers an opportunity for people in
the early stage of the disease and their care partners to
socialize and participate in conversations about works of art
on view at the EPMA. Docents and museum staff facilitate
conversations that build on the group’s collective observations
and understandings of the artwork. Impressions programming
is scheduled for the third Tuesday of each month. For more
information about participating in the program, interested
parties can contact the Education Department.
ART BEATS
Art Beats is a partnership between the El Paso Symphony
Orchestra and the El Paso Museum of Art that unites students
and teachers from the EPSO’s Tocando after-school program
with docents from the museum.
Together they explore the
connections between art
and music, including shared
elements such as rhythm,
tone, and texture. The
partnership is in its second
semester and all teachers
and staff involved have
seen inspiring growth in the
students’ creativity, musical,
and language skills. Students
will present a recital at the
museum in the late spring.
Keep an eye out and come to
hear these amazing children.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS GRANT
Support from the TCA allowed the education department
to offer scholarships for Spring Break and Summer Camps
and to cover the cost of faculty for art making
workshops. Ten students received scholarships
during spring break and 55 students will
receive scholarships this summer. During the
art making workshops, students created tissue
paper “stained glass,” and practiced Pantilism.
Additionally, a new evaluation process is in
progress with Helix Solutions.
I ML S GR A N T
The El Paso Museum
of Art was awarded
a $149,762 matching
grant by the Institute
for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to fund a threeyear $309,171 arts awareness and visual literacy program in
partnership with AVANCE-El Paso. The three-year program
began with a pilot group in March 2015. Parents and children
ages 3 to 5 visited the museum weekly and participated in
discussions and activities based on artworks led by Museum
and AVANCE staff. Test curricula were based on art making,
storytelling, books and gallery tours developed with the goal to
improve family literacy.
While early education is a proven method of increasing school
completion, too many children in El Paso are not receiving the
early educational opportunities that help them excel in school.
This partnership between the Museum and AVANCE-El Paso
will focus on early childhood development, school/reading
readiness, and art engagement. For parent participants, the
focus will be on improved levels of English proficiency, family
literacy and art awareness. In addition, the implementation
team expects that the results will provide an inclusive and
responsive educational resource that can be shared and
replicated to meet the growing national need for bilingual
literacy programs.
N EA G RAN T
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Jane Chu
announced on December 2, 2014 that the El Paso Museum
of Art (EPMA) was one of only 919 nonprofit organizations
nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant. EPMA received
a $65,000 grant to support collaboration with the Solomon
R. Guggenheim Art Museum to bring to our geographically
isolated region masterpieces from the Guggenheim’s
collection including works by Cézanne, Picasso, Kandinsky,
Marc, Delaunay, Gleizes, and Chagall. The grant will assist
EPMA in offering free admission to the public, along with
free educational programs, and performing arts and school
partnership programs. In particular, the grant enables the
museum to partner with the El Paso Symphony, the El Paso
Opera, and Pro Musica, in programming music that connects
with artworks in the Modern Masters series.
NEA Chairman Jane Chu said, “I’m pleased to be able to
share the news of our support through Art Works including
the award to the El Paso Museum of Art. The arts foster value,
connection, creativity and innovation for the American people
and these recommended grants demonstrate those attributes
and affirm that the arts are part of our everyday lives.”
Art Works grants support the creation of art, public
engagement with art, lifelong learning in the arts, and
enhancement of the livability of communities through the arts.
The NEA received 1,474 eligible applications under the Art
Works category, requesting more than $75 million in funding.
Of the applications, 919 were recommended for grants for a
total of $26.6 million.
