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. Tracey B.

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. Michael Tomor, Ph.D. As we make these life decisions, difficult decisions, we weigh the importance of who we are at a given moment in time, what 4 FA R E W E L L M E S S A G E F R O M E P M A D I R E CTO R FAREWELL MESSAGE FROM EPMA DIRECTOR E P M A F O U N D AT I O N EL PASO M U S E U M OF AR T FO U N D AT I O N The El Paso Museum of Art Foundation is pleased to announce the 2015 elected executive officers and the Board of Trustees: David Bernard, Chair; Charles de Wetter, Vice-Chair; Hector Retta, Treasurer; Rebecca Krasne, Secretary.

Guggenheim Museum Organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation February 7 – May 29, 2015 Peter and Margaret de Wetter Gallery 6 CURRENT EXHIBITIONS 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 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 The Chicano Collection / La Colección Chicana produced to accompany the collection and featuring Marin speaking A B O VE Gilbert Luján (American 1940–2011) Blue Dog, 2005 Giclee print, 26 ¾” x 38” Gift of Cheech Marin and Modern Multiples Collection of El Paso Museum of Art R IGHT Adán Hernández (American born 1951) La Estrella que cae (The Falling Star), 2005 Giclee print, 38 1/2 x 31 1/2 in.

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. Don Coen (American, b. 1935) Manuel, 2001-2010 Airbrush acrylic and pencil on canvas, 78 ½” x 112 ¼” Courtesy of the artist U A O K Ó N LP O SH O 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.” B Y Y PU CURRENT EXHIBITIONS Through June 14, 2015 Woody and Gayle Hunt Family Gallery Yoshua Okón (Mexican, b. 1970) PULPO Still from video installation 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. 10 CURRENT EXHIBITIONS ROBERT DELAUNAY & ALBERT GLEIZES: T H E SCHOOL OF PARIS 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.

Guggenheim Museum New York Gift, Andrew Powie Fuller and Geraldine Spreckels Fuller Collection, 2000.10 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. A MP LIFIE D A B STRACTION Anonymous (Mexican, 19th Century) The Immaculate Conception, 19th Century Oil on tin, 14” x 10” Gift of Dr. Steven McKnight in honor of Frank and Sara McKnight Collection of El Paso Museum of Art July 12 – October 11, 2015 Woody and Gayle Hunt Family Gallery 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. SPONSORS (At the time of printing) Travis and Annabelle Johnson El Paso Museum of Art Foundation David Aylsworth (American b. 1966) Oral Fixation, 1997 Oil on canvas, 72” x 72” Gift of Alton and Emily Steiner Collection of El Paso Museum of Art 12 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. UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS H A L M A R CUS / LY R IC M ODE R N September 6, 2015 – January 3, 2016 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.

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.

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. Jedd Novatt (American, b. 1958) Chaos Redux, 2005 Bronze, 10 ½ x 8 x 3 feet Anonymous Gift Collection of El Paso Museum of Art 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 15 Anonymous (Mexican, 19th C.) Saint Michael/San Miguel Oil on tin, 10” x 7” Gift of Nancy Hamilton Collection of El Paso Museum of Art 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. For a full listing of recent acquisitions please visit our website at ElPasoArtMuseum.org 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) Liseuse au Bouquet de Roses Etching, 14 1/8” x 17” 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).

Last fall, four students from the Art History Department, one from the History Department and another student from the Marketing Department gave twenty-minute talks on a work of art from their personal perspective. This spring, the talks picked up again in February and in April with students from different degree programs including Art History, Business, and Science. 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.

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. G R A NTS AWA RDED 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. 20 C O L L A B O R AT I V E E D U C AT I O N P R O G R A M M I N G & G R A N T S AWA R D E D IMPRESSIONS, ALZHEIMER’S PROGRAMMING DEVELOPMENT EPMA FORMS NEW YOUNG ASSOCIATES GROUP EPMA Young Associates is designed to provide its members with a unique forum for social/business networking and community engagement/stewardship, while diversifying the Museum’s audience and fostering a new generation of museum patrons.
