Director’s Message
This fall the McNay presents a particularly rich array of exhibitions and installations exploring major
developments in modern and contemporary art. Miró: The Experience of Seeing is a rare opportunity
to see a superb collection from Madrid’s Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. One of the
great innovators of modern art, Joan Miró (1893–1983) created an expressive and joyful pictorial
and sculptural universe throughout his 60-year career. A contemporary of Picasso, he was aligned
with the Surrealists in 1920s Paris, but developed an independent body of work that earned him a
central place in the history of 20th-century art, culminating in an extraordinary burst of creativity in
the two last decades of his long life.
Simultaneously, the museum presents the exhibition Picasso, Braque, and the Cubist Legacy,
featuring prints and drawings from the permanent collection. A special opportunity to see works
of art infrequently exhibited, it explores the work of the two inventors of Cubism and their lasting
influence on the art of the next generation.
From Europe, we turn to the U.S. in American Modern: Works from the Collection of Alice C. Simkins.
Organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston from a choice personal collection, this exhibition
nicely complements the museum’s strength in American modernism. Collecting in Context takes
a related approach by demonstrating the historical and aesthetic connections to our existing
collection that we consider when choosing new acquisitions for the museum.
The history of art is key to two new exhibitions from the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts. Art History
Goes to the Theatre: Research Secrets of Great Designers explores the sources in past art that scene and
costume designers have tapped to create sympathetic environments for their productions. Studio to
Stage: Degas’s Little Dancer/Seurat’s Sunday Afternoon is a perfect example of such influence, and one
where works of art serve as the very inspiration for the drama itself.
Bringing us up to the present moment are new installations of contemporary art. The Extraordinary
Ordinary: Three Installations presents works by Tom Burckhardt, Ernesto Pujol, and Sandy Skoglund
that create unique environments for the viewer, using a variety of ordinary materials. Martín
Gutierrez’s Transcending Rhythm is the latest in the museum’s series of video installations in the
Frost Octagon, adjoining the AT&T Lobby where Stephen Westfall’s The Holy Forest remains on view
through July 2016. In addition, you can see many of our 60th anniversary acquisitions, dating from
the 19th century to the present day, on view throughout the Main Collection Galleries.
Finally, I am delighted to report that the San Antonio City Council has made the decision to close the
Rittiman Road spur at the southwest corner of the museum’s campus, allowing the McNay to move
forward with our master plan and create a safer, more attractive welcome to the museum’s campus.

As I begin my final year as director of
the McNay, I want to thank the many
members and colleagues who have
written to wish me well since announcing
my planned retirement in the fall of next
year. Meanwhile, I look forward to an
exciting year of progress on the museum’s
strategic plan and a smooth transition
to new leadership. As we continue to
bring our public the best of modern and
contemporary art from near and far, I hope
to see you here often during this superb
season of exhibitions and public programs.

Miró: The Experience of Seeing presents a rare opportunity to
introduce American audiences to the astounding and innovative
paintings and sculptures that Joan Miró (1893–1983) created in his
later years. Comprised of 57 paintings, drawings, and sculptures,
this exhibition is the first dedicated to the fruitful period of the
artist’s life in the United States. The exhibition focuses on Miró’s
late period with works beginning in the 1960s, a chapter that
even today remains mostly overshadowed by his contributions
during the interwar and immediate postwar periods. Miró’s works
during those mature years represent a more personal language,
where neither painting nor sculpture takes precedence. Instead,
approaching these disciplines again from his original perspective,
he set out to explore their conceptual limits by questioning their
very nature.
The paintings and sculpture in the exhibition closely examine
aspects of the art-making process, part of the basis of his output
since his earliest works. In his quest to transcend the idea of easel
painting, the pictorial space is enlarged across expanded canvas
fields, on which calligraphic signs reach maximum intensity
through minimum resources, reflecting the artist’s attempt to
reach a square one of painting through simplicity and emptiness.
Assembling found objects, and adding techniques such as
modeling and bronze casting, also meant that he could create a
work that somehow bestrode all of modern sculpture’s possibilities
for expression. Without ever being part of any formal categories,
Miró continually changed his expressive medium, developing
a process of intervention-reaction in the various series that he
worked on for extensive periods. The modifications he introduced
affected the group’s final equilibrium, always reiterating in both
media the same conceptual aspects and technical solutions:
simplicity, flatness, line, gesture, and ideogram.
Miró: The Experience of Seeing was conceived by Chief Curator
of Sculpture Carmen Fernández Aparicio and Chief Curator of
Paintings Belén Galán Martín, under the guidance of Rosario Peiró,
Chief Curator of the permanent collection at the Museo Nacional
Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain. The McNay exhibition
is the final presentation before the works are returned to Spain.
A fully illustrated catalogue is available.

Picasso, Braque, and the Cubist Legacy
Prints and Drawings from the Collection
The McNay has a very fine collection of Cubist prints and
drawings, including an outstanding group of etchings and
drypoints by Georges Braque. The museum has made a concerted
effort in the last few years to add to this strength of the
collection. These new acquisitions not only provide fascinating
context for the work of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque,
but also show the different ways various artists used the ideas
introduced by those pioneers of Cubism. This exhibition is the
first time the public has a chance to see newly acquired works by
Louis Marcoussis, Jean-Emile Laboureur, and Henri van Straten
alongside the Picasso and Braque works that inspired them.
Comparing the prints and drawings in the show reveals how
each artist used Cubist elements in different ways, contributing
to the evolution of modern art throughout the 20th century.
The exhibition shows how Cubism inspired or influenced other
important art movements of the 20th century, including Futurism
and Expressionism. Both American and European prints and
drawings are included to show the reach of Cubist ideas not only
over time, but across the Atlantic as well.
Some of the other artists included in the exhibition are Fernand
Leger, Albert Gleizes, Burgoyne Diller, Stuart Davis, Werner
Drewes, Sybil Andrews, C.R.W. Nevinson, Mildred Rackley, and
Fannie Hillsmith.
This exhibition is organized by the McNay Art Museum.

American Modern
Works from the Collection of Alice C. Simkins
Alice C. Simkins’s aunt, the Houston collector and philanthropist
Alice N. Hanszen, introduced her to the McNay when she was
quite young. However, it was during a museum trip in 1969 to
London, Paris, and Madrid, led by founding McNay director John
Palmer Leeper, that her long history with the museum really
began. Leeper was so impressed with the Newcomb College
graduate that he invited Simkins to join the McNay’s staff. During
her time as a staff member, she completed her Master of Arts
thesis, a beautifully researched and much needed catalogue
of the collection of Mary and Sylvan Lang, and organized an
exhibition of American women artists in celebration of the
American Bicentennial, American Artists ’76: A Celebration.
Having grown up around art collectors and having served as a
curator at the McNay, it is no surprise that Simkins would become
a collector in her own right. Hers is a laser-focused group of
American watercolors and drawings from the early Modernist
period, particularly the 1910s when American artists were
experimenting with new ideas and forms emanating from the
influential Armory Show in 1913. Tellingly, many of the artists she
has collected have parallels in the McNay’s collection, particularly
works collected by the Langs as well as by Margaret Batts Tobin
and Robert L.B. Tobin. Perhaps the most poignant connection
between Simkins’s and the McNay’s collections is her masterful
watercolor by Charles Burchfield, Sunrise and Rain from 1916.
Simkins was intimately involved in the acquisition of the McNay’s
equally masterful Nasturtiums and Barn created just a year later.
The exhibition is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with an essay
co-authored by MFAH curator Alison de Lima Greene and McNay
Curator of Prints and Drawings Lyle W. Williams.

Collecting in Context
Museum collections like the McNay’s are built very carefully by
their curators to draw connections between objects, to show the
evolution of a particular style or movement, or to give fascinating
historical context to individual objects. These connections are
not always that visible or obvious. This exhibition strives to
change that. Drawing from the strengths of the McNay’s print
collection and including many recent acquisitions, this exhibition
illustrates the connections a curator sees when making an
acquisition, thus providing a fascinating view into how a museum
builds its collection.
One wonderful example of how the collection is growing is
revealed by the juxtaposition in the show of Mary Cassatt’s
masterpiece In the Omnibus with our recently acquired print
by Henri Boutet, called L’Averse (Deluge). Both are technically
accomplished 19th-century color etchings produced in Paris
in the 1890s. Yet that is not the really important connection.
Cassatt’s image shows a young Parisian mother traveling in an
omnibus, an early form of horse-drawn public transportation,
with her child and nanny. Boutet’s etching shows people running
for cover during a sudden downpour outside the gates of the
Louvre. The location he shows is an important transportation hub
where people could board an omnibus. One of these vehicles is
clearly visible in the background of the composition, with the
lights of the omnibus shining from within.
Another great example is the pairing of David Alfaro Siqueiros’s
Portrait of William Spratling, a masterpiece of the McNay’s
outstanding Mexican print collection, with Mabel Dwight’s
beautifully and affectionately drawn portrait of Carl Zigrosser.
The connections between these two objects might not be readily
apparent, but there are many. Zigrosser was the proprietor of
the Weyhe Gallery in New York and an early promotor of Diego
Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and Siqueiros in the U.S. William
Spratling, the American silversmith who resurrected the silver
industry in Taxco, often acted as an agent for Siqueiros in his
dealings with Zigrosser.
Other artists include Howard Cook, Jan Wiegers, Ernst Ludwig
Kirchner, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Rene Hermann-Paul, Henri
Guérard, and Pierre-Georges Jeanniot.

Art History Goes
to the Theatre
Research Secrets of Great Designers
Giotto, El Greco, Veronese, Degas, Monet, Seurat, Klimt,
Kirchner, Delaunay, Mondrian, Ernst, O’Keeffe, Nevelson,
Stella. The names of these and other visual artists may
not appear in playbills. As this exhibition demonstrates,
however, their paintings and sculpture have played
leading roles in theatre productions. Whether quoted
directly, or exerting a more subtle influence, works
of art can be essential to how designers and their
collaborators envision the worlds they create on stage.
For scene and costume designers, paintings, sculpture,
and print, are invaluable historical documents, recording
polychrome reliefs in Egyptian temples or elegant
garments of the Italian Renaissance courts. The works of
well-known artists also function as cultural shorthand.
By referencing El Greco, Monet, O’Keeffe, or Bearden,
designers evoke the austerity of Hapsburg Spain, the
excitement of modern Paris, the vastness of the American
West, or the rhythms of African-American jazz.
In the hands of visionary designers, art history can
actually shape the underlying concept of theatre
productions. When the ruthless philanderer Don
Giovanni meets his fiery end, it takes the form of the
Last Judgment from Medieval churches. The enlarged
and fragmented imagery of Pop Art conveys the
dehumanizing effects of war in Die Soldaten (The Soldiers).
These references not only add new layers of meaning to
theatre, but also call attention to how, and why, certain
works of art continue to capture the imagination.
How did such
famous works
as Edgar Degas’s
Little Dancer
Aged Fourteen
(1878–81) and
George Seurat’s
Sunday Afternoon
on the Island of La
Grande Jatte–1884
(1884–86) come
into being? The
subject of art
historical studies,
these questions
also inspired two musicals: Stephen Sondheim and
James Lapine’s Sunday in the Park with George (1884) and
Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens’s Little Dancer (2014).
Ann Hould-Ward’s costume designs for Sunday in the
Park with George underscore the strength of Sondheim’s
musical, its exploration of Seurat’s color theories. For the
character Dot, Hould-Ward created a bustled dress with
a silhouette recognizable from the painting. Using layers
of different colors and patterns of fabrics, she suggested
the simultaneous contrasts of colors Seurat sought in his
“pointillist” paintings.
William Ivey Long shared Little Dancer director Susan
Stroman’s fascination with the socio-economic realities
of the struggling young performers at the Paris Opera.
Inspired by Degas’s other paintings, Long created a
fictionalized persona for Marie van Goethem. Like her
mother, an alcoholic, and sister, a prostitute, Marie
seemed destined to succumb to the enticements of male
admirers who pursued members of the corps de ballet.
Represented in the exhibition by drawings and
costumes as well as research materials and performance
videos, these musicals raise provocative questions about
art historical fact and fiction.
This exhibition is organized by the McNay Art Museum and is a program of
the Tobin Theatre Arts Fund.

VIDEO INSTALLATION
Martín Gutierrez
Transcending Rhythm
October 21, 2015 | April 10, 2016
The Extraordinary
Ordinary
Three Installations
Artists Tom Burckhardt, Ernesto Pujol, and Sandy
Skoglund use the stuff of ordinary life to create
extraordinary environments. In FULL STOP (2004–05),
Burckhardt fashions a full-scale artist’s studio from
corrugated cardboard, black paint, wood, and hot
glue. The walk-through installation depicts a mythical
artist’s studio, with sly references to luminaries
including Edward Hopper, Jasper Johns, and Jackson
Pollock. Pujol’s Walk#1 (2005–06) premiered at the
McNay in 2006 and was subsequently acquired by
the museum. Through photographs and artifacts,
Pujol takes the viewer on a meditative walk through a
Southern cemetery, observing a solitary robed figure
as he encounters the cemetery’s natural views and
architectural details. Skoglund’s The Cocktail Party (1992)
recreates this domestic ritual using bright orange junk
food snacks covering figures, furniture, walls, and floor.
Acquired by the McNay in 2009, this presentation is the
McNay’s second exhibition of the full three-dimensional
tableaux, and is accompanied by a large color
photograph of the same subject.
Martín Gutierrez’s music videos, four of which are shown
together at the McNay, explore self-transformation
and the intersection of fantasy and reality. His videos
subvert typical gender tropes, thereby forcing viewers
to come to their own conclusions. In Clubbing, a video
from Gutierrez’s undergraduate years, the artist plays
multiple characters, both male and female, in a bid
to supplant ideas of traditional identity. Trio appears
to display Guiterrez’s form inserted in a bleak desert
landscape. The artist manipulates images of his figure—
in triplicate—in order to arouse in the viewer questions
of identity and reality.
Both Blame the Rain and If feature the character Martine,
Gutierrez’s singer persona. These works examine the
status of celebrity, media, and subculture through
videos that are written, sung, and produced by Gutierrez
alone. The artist describes these music videos as
explorations on the theme of pop singer “Lana del Rey
goes to the Caribbean and is still sad.”
Martín Gutierrez was born in 1989 in Berkeley, California,
to an American mother and Guatemalan father, and
as an adolescent moved to rural Vermont. The artist
received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island
School of Design in 2012. He works in a variety of media
and is currently focusing on music.
The exhibition is organized by the McNay Art Museum.
The Elizabeth Huth Coates Exhibition Endowment and the Arthur and Jane
Stieren Fund for Exhibitions are generously funding this exhibition.

Museum News
On Loan
Two Pollock paintings featured in Tate Liverpool’s
Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots
The McNay is pleased to lend Jackson Pollock’s No. 2-A and
No. 2-B to Tate Liverpool, which features late paintings of Jackson
Pollock, made between 1951 and 1953, in the exhibition
Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots. The exhibition focuses on a phase
of work referred to as his black pourings, considered a highly
influential part of his career.
Recent Acquisition
Saul Baizerman (1889–1950), Moonlight, November, 1950–57.
The McNay recently acquired a representative group of five
works by American sculptor Saul Baizerman, including MoonlightNovember, as a purchase and partial gift of Mary Jo and
George N. Newton and family. One of 12 sculptures from his
Months of the Year series executed between 1950 and 1957,
Moonlight-November, a lyrical interpretation of the female form,
has been on loan to the museum for many years. It is currently on
view in the Lang Galleries; other works from this acquisition will be
exhibited later.
No. 2-A and No. 2-B were painted using Pollock’s classic
drip-and-pour technique he became famous for in the late 1940s
and 1950s. The two paintings, featuring black, red, and yellow
blobs, drips, spirals, and lines on white unprimed canvas, were
part of an important bequest to the museum by Mary and Sylvan
Lang in 1975.
An accompanying catalogue includes scholarly texts on Pollock’s
practice with new essays by Jo Applin, University of York; Gavin
Delahunty, Dallas Museum of Art; Michael Fried, Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore; and Stephanie Straine, Tate Liverpool.
The exhibition is on view in Liverpool from June 30 to October
18, 2015. It will then be on view from November 15 to March
20, 2016 at the Dallas Museum of Art, which organized Jackson
Pollock: Blind Spots in partnership with Tate Liverpool.
The Russian-born Baizerman is a unique figure in American
sculpture. His distinctive medium of hammered copper allies him
to the hand work tradition of direct carving in wood and stone
that is a hallmark of avant-garde American sculpture in the early
20th century. His work is an important addition to the museum’s
growing collection of American modernist sculpture that
includes our recently acquired limestone Head of a Woman by
