20th Annual Community Ofrenda
by artist Paco Garcia
On display October 14 - November 1
Artwork by Paco Garcia from the Fruitvale Día de los Muertos Poster.
Each year the Museum invites an artist, art group or school
to create an ofrenda that celebrates the memory of the departed
in the Mexican tradition of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the
Dead. Tiered altars are decorated with handmade flowers,
images and objects.
Oakland-born, Modesto-based, full-time tattoo artist Paco
Garcia will create this year’s community ofrenda. Garcia’s boldly
graphic work earned him a coveted position as the poster artist
for the Fruitvale Día de los Muertos celebration in 2013 and 2014.
His work will also be seen at the Oakland Museum this October
in their annual installation of Día de los Muertos ofrendas.
11th Annual Tarde de Flor y Canto
Sunday, October 25
1:00-2:30 p.m.
Get creative with a hands-on art activity celebrating Día de los Muertos and
hosted by ofrenda artist Paco Garcia. See “20th Annual Community Ofrenda,”
above.
2:30-4:00 p.m.
Local author and poet Richard Rios once again gathers poets and musicians
to celebrate the community tradition of Flor y Canto or “Flower and Song.” This
event celebrates the beauty and richness of Mexican and indigenous culture
through poetry, music and dance. The phrase “flor y canto” is a rough Spanish
translation for what the Aztecs referred to as art and poetry - an apt comparison
to the pleasure the arts bring into our lives. This year’s perfomers will present
expressions from the traditional to the contemporary. Delicious pan dulce and
hot chocolate will be served.
2014 Tarde de Flor y Canto Tango performance.

in the region, the "unstoppable" Trés Hot Jazz, once
again bring their swinging bluesy style to the Haggin.
Maxwell sets the tone with her throaty, sensual vocals in
a range of songs new to the repertoire from composers
as diverse as be-bop vocalist Bob Dorough and gravellyvoiced Tom Waits, as well as a taste of Maxwell's original
compositions. The group is enjoying a banner year, with
an extensive performance schedule, a third CD in the
works, and a third consecutive nomination for a Modesto
Area Music Award for blues/jazz.

Iain Matthews brings music from
his 20th (and final, he says) solo
album, The Art of Obscurity, to the
spotlight at the Haggin. Decades
of touring has honed this global
musician. Matthews writes “Music
is in my blood. Music motivates
me. Music is my mistress. I take
inspiration from one of my musical
heroes, Curtis Mayfield, who made
his final album, New World Order, lying flat on his back.
Now that’s love and dedication…and I can still stand.”

SPECIAL EXHIBITION
Picasso, Miro´ &
Hawaii Five-0
Prints from the Jack Lord Collection
October 1 - January 3, 2015
The serious squint of actor Jack Lord, best known for
his role as TV detective Steve McGarrett on the original
series Hawaii Five-0, has always exuded a mysterious
power. Born John Joseph Patrick
Ryan in 1920, Lord attended
New York University on a
football scholarship where he
studied fine arts. He served in the
U.S. Maritime Service and during
deployment to Washington D.C.,
started acting in training films
and launched a career in theater.
That he looked like a ‘Greek
god,’ according to stories of their
courtship by fashion designer
and second wife Marie, probably
helped.
Lord brought Broadway
acting chops to Hollywood after
WWII, but it took a while for
the movie industry to seize on
his presence. By 1958 the actor’s
star was on the rise playing the
virile “Buck” in the steamy film
version of God’s Little Acre. Based
on the notorious novel by Erskine
Caldwell and co-starring Tina
Louise, Vic Morrow, and Buddy Hackett, who would also
have careers in hit television series, the movie was filmed
in downtown Stockton and on the rural edges of the city.
It was then, perhaps to escape the intensity of the
sexually and politically charged drama they were filming,
or maybe just to get out of the valley’s summer heat, that
Jack Lord discovered The Haggin Museum.
In 1959 he made his first gift to the Haggin, beginning
the philanthropic relationship at the core of the exhibit
Picasso, Miró & Hawaii Five-0. The gift included an
assortment of Japanese woodblock prints, decorative art
objects and textiles. It was followed in 1972 by a donation
of more than 70 lithographs.
Most were published by Fernand Mourlot, whose Paris
studio was the epicenter of fine art printmaking. Founded
in 1852 the Atelier Mourlot originally made printed
The Haggin Museum Members Bulletin
wallpaper. It was transformed by the founder’s grandson
when he invited the most important modern artists of the
20th century — Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró,
Marc Chagall and many others —
­ to
experiment with fine art printmaking
in his workshop. There they embraced
the challenge of lithography, a process
involving drawing directly on a large
piece of limestone.
The prints in this exhibit
represent key ideas in modern art.
Modernists recognized traditional
art’s inability to adequately represent
a world dramatically changed by the
Industrial Revolution. They turned
their attention to dreams, fantasies
and emotions. They also embraced
formal experimentation. Drawing and
paint handling became freer and color
more expressive. Many artists turned
toward abstraction.
In addition to the prints published
by Mourlot, Jack Lord gifted the
Haggin with a significant collection
by lesser-known artist Jean Charlot, a
French muralist and lithographer who
lived and worked with friend Diego
Rivera in Mexico before moving Hawaii. This work is on
view for the first time in Stockton.
Lord’s love of printmaking shaped the collection
he so generously gave to The Haggin Museum, which
includes a lithograph of his own. Another print, from the
same edition, is held in the permanent collection of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This exhibition is organized by The Haggin Museum
with guest curators Monika Meler and Bett Schumacher
from University of the Pacific. Featuring 47 restored
lithographs, it provides an American perspective on
European modernism and unique insight into the mind
underneath that amazing head of hair.

MUSEUM NEWS
Core Collection
Enhancement Project Update
POSTERS NOW AVAILABLE
IN THE MUSEUM STORE
The summer issue of the Members’ Bulletin outlined
gallery renovations and improvements that will allow the
Haggin to enhance its stewardship and interpretation of its
core art collection. The enhancement project will begin with
the closure of the Pioneer Room. This gallery, which for
decades has featured displays of the Museum’s core history
collections, will be repurposed to feature paintings from the
Haggin Collection by North American artists.
Many of the artifacts from the current Pioneer Room will
be relocated to some of the Museum’s other history galleries,
while others will be archived in storage. New text panels
in the Victorian Hallway will introduce Stockton history to
visitors and enhancements to the Jennie Hunter rooms will
include new lighting and new interpretive materials.
Over the coming months museum members are
encouraged to visit and see for themselves the exciting
changes taking place here at the Haggin.
Year End Giving
As a private non-profit organization which receives
no city, county, state or federal funding, we depend on the
generosity of our members and the community at large. Your
museum membership is an extremely important component
of the Museum’s fiscal viability and funds approximately
25% of annual operations.
Your support is one of our greatest assests, but museum
membership alone cannot underwrite our ambitious special
exhibitions, educational programs and visitor experience
enhancements.
At this time, we are requesting that you consider a yearend tax-deductible donation in support of our current efforts
to enhance our core collections and changing exhibitions.
Giving options include monetary gifts, stock transfers,
planned and corporate matching gifts.
