  • Fame in the Abstract
    September 2016 Fame in the Abstract Dorothy Hood was one of Texas’s greatest artists, yet her work remains largely unknown. Now, sixteen years after her death, can her fans bring her the acclaim she never received in life? By Katy Vine Hood’s Copper Signal, oil on canvas, 1978–1979; Hood, photographed in Mexico City in the early forties. Copper Signal, 1978-1979, Oil on Canvas, 109 1/2” x 81”; Collection of the Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi; Photograph of Copper Signal: Lynda A J Jones; Portrait: Art Museum of South Texas Dorothy Hood had all the makings of an icon. One of Texas’s most talented artists, she was a stunning strawberry blonde with a fearless sense of adventure. In 1941, fresh out of art school, she drove her dad’s roadster to Mexico City and stayed there for most of the next 22 years, drawing and painting alongside Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Roberto Montenegro, and Miguel Covarrubias. Pablo Neruda wrote a poem about her paintings. José Clemente Orozco befriended and encouraged her. The Bolivian director and composer José María Velasco Maidana fell hard for her and later married her. And after a brief stretch in New York City, she and Maidana moved to her native Houston, where she produced massive paintings of sweeping color that combined elements of Mexican surrealism and New York abstraction in a way that no one had seen before, winning her acclaim and promises from museums of major exhibits. She seemed on the verge of fame. “She certainly is one of the most important artists from that generation,” said art historian Robert Hobbs.

  • Bio Hogue, Alexandre
    237 East Palace Avenue Santa Fe, NM 87501 800 879-8898 505 989-9888 505 989-9889 Fax [email protected] Alexandre Hogue American (1898 – 1994) Hogue was born on February 22, 1898 in Memphis, Missouri, to Reverend Charles Lehman Hogue and Mattie Hoover. Soon after, the Hogues moved to Denton, Texas, and later attended the Dallas-based Bryan Street High School in 1918. After a short year at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Hogue moved home to Dallas, where he was employed at the Dallas Morning News as an illustrator. In 1921, Hogue moved to New York City to work at various advertising firms with calligraphy assignments and to study in museums. He traveled back to Texas every summer while in New York to sketch with Charles Franklin Reaugh until he decided to plant himself in Texas in 1925 to paint. In 1931, he began teaching art classes at the Texas State College for Women and went on to become the head of the art department at Hockaday Junior College in 1936. In 1938, Hogue married and started a family with Maggie Joe Watson. During World War II, Hogue worked at North American Aviation. From 1945 to 1963, he became the head of the art department at the University of Tulsa. After his retirement from the University of Tulsa, the institution founded the Alexandre Hogue Gallery in his honor. Hogue remained in Tulsa until his death on July 22, 1994. Hogue’s mother had a huge influence on his work; she taught him about “Mother Earth,” which became a key concept to most of his paintings, specifically Mother Earth Laid Bare in 1938.

  • Intercultura
    INTERCULTURA DRAFT ____________ TEXAS ART FROM THE BARRETT COLLECTION____________ AN EXHIBITION FOR INTERNATIONAL TOUR InterCultura is planning an important exhibition of the work of contemporary artists in Texas from the collection of Nona and Richard Barrett, of Dallas, Texas. The exhibition will be the first major show concentrating on Texas artists to be seen on an international tour. The exhibition, planned for four venues, will include approximately 60 to 80 works of painting and sculpture. The exhibition will be curated by Michael Ennis, an acknowledged expert on contemporary Texas art. Texas has the third largest concentration of artists in the U.S., after New York and California. The Barrett Collection was started in 1987 by Nona and Richard Barrett, shortly after their marriage, and is the most important and comprehensive private collection of Texas artists in existence. The collection, comprising over 400 works, includes a wide range of work in painting and sculpture, from the beginning of serious painting in Texas at the turn of the century to the present day. Over 150 artists are represented in the collection, from early 20th century figures including Jose Arpa, Julian Onderdonk, Frank Reaugh, and Reveau Basset; to the "Dallas Nine" (including Alexandre Hogue, William Lester, Olin Travis, Everett Spruce and Jerry Bywaters); to contemporary artists including Bill Komodore, Melissa Miller, David Bates, Bill Haveron, James Serfs, Vernon Fisher, and Harry Geffert. The entire collection has been donated to the Dallas Museum of Art. All of these artists, like their counterparts elsewhere, are dealing with universal issues. Their vision, however, has a unique flavor.

    SCULPTURE WALL The Encore Park Project Committee commissioned Brad Oldham and Christy Coltrin to create original artwork for the walls that denote the former perimeter of the Columbia Film Exchange Building. They were inspired by the history of Dallas up to the mid-1930s as this foundational time period enabled the city to make its first step onto the world stage. It was also a time when history was made on this particular block. Drawing upon the voice of Dallas expressed in a mural painted by Jerry Bywaters and Alexandre Hogue in the 1930s Panel 2: Cotton, Cattle, & Community for the Old City Hall (that was Panel 1: Pre-1850s Time Period painted over twenty years later), 1.
