UT Dallas' Dr Richard Brettell to Become New TDMN Visual Arts MEDIA CONTACT Kerri Fulks (972) 499-6617 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sept. 16, 2013 The Dallas Morning News Appoints UT Dallas’ Chair of Arts & Aesthetics as Visual Arts Critic (DALLAS) – The Dallas Morning News, and its comprehensive entertainment resource GuideLive, has made another important move for its readers active in the arts and culture community by hiring Dr. Richard Brettell as its full-time Visual Arts Critic. Brettell will remain in his position as the Margaret M. McDermott Distinguished Chair of Art and Aesthetic Studies at University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas). Brettell will become the face and voice for one of the most prominent and discerning audiences in North Texas. As visual arts critic, he will create stories on a regular basis for the Arts & Life section, GuideLive’s ArtsBlog and a major piece every two months for the Morning News. “For the past 30 years, art has become my career, my muse and my passion,” said Brettell. “This is a great opportunity and responsibility to be honored as visual arts critic for one of the most artistically diverse cities in the United States. I look forward to establishing a larger presence for artists across North Texas, all of whom deserve more recognition and I am thrilled to provide that exposure.” Brettell began his focus on art in 1971 at Yale University where he earned a B.A., an M.A. and a Ph.D. His first job out of college was as an academic program director and assistant professor at the University of Texas in Austin for its art department. From there, his career grew with positions at the Searle Curator of European Painting at the Art Institute in Chicago, as American Director and Co-Founder of FRAME (French Regional & American Museum Exchange) and has been at UT Dallas since 1998. In addition to Brettell’s international experience, he was the McDermott Director of the Dallas Museum of Art from 1988 to 1992. “Rick Brettell is not only an internationally acclaimed art scholar, but also a lively writer who connects clearly with intelligent audiences. I am positive he will make a difference,” said Bob Mong, editor of The Dallas Morning News. Brettell began his column for the Morning News and GuideLive September 9.

  • Richard Brettell Essay
    83 Richard Brettell Ships Stefan Dunlop arrived in Dallas Texas to paint, and he came to the right place. He had a light-filled studio in which to live and work, very few expectations placed upon him, and sufficient material for a concentrated campaign. And campaign it was. He worked almost every day and most nights for somewhat more than a month—with the odd visit to a museum or gallery or a pot-luck supper with other artists in the program called CentralTrak in which he found himself. His fellow artists were from Europe and the US, but, although he interacted pleasantly with them, he never let these encounters get in the way of his painting. He DID permit the odd “crit” with a fellow painter, an art historian, a local collector, or a grad student, but these exercises in critical discourse were so focused on his own project that they were, in effect, part of it rather than an interruption from it. He poured paint, pushed paint, scraped paint, talked about paint, painted with paint—moving his two large square canvases from the floor to the wall and back again to the floor over and over and over. How did he get to Dallas? The story of the journey is almost as interesting as his pictorial adventure. It began with the publication of the home and studio he shares with his wife and children in an international architectural magazine called DWELL. As an architectural groupie and founder of CentralTrak AND a fan of what one might call “real painting,” I saw in DWELL a photograph of Stefan Dunlop working on a very large canvas representing several figures and was immediately interested in the combination of body-imagery and physicality in his work.

  • Degas, Dance, Dallas Richard Kendall
    Degas, Dance, Dallas Richard Kendall October 22, 2009 Dallas Museum of Art Horchow Auditorium Heather MacDonald: I am so pleased to welcome you here this evening for this lecture by Richard Kendall. It’s the first event in our 2009-2010 season of our Richard R. Brettell Lecture Series. The Brettell Lecture Series was founded in 1993 to provide a regular public venue with the DMA for the presentation of the most important and innovative new scholarship on the history of 19th and 20th century European art. This series was created with a generous endowment from museum trustees, Carolyn and Roger Horchow in honor of Dr. Richard Brettell, former Director of the Dallas Museum of Art, the current Margaret McDermott Distinguished Chair of Art and Aesthetic Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas, and himself a well-respected specialist in the art of this period. We are very pleased to have Dr. Brettell with us this evening. Over the history of the Brettell Lecture Series we have been fortunate to share with the museum’s public some of the most creative art historians working today, including Stephen Eisenman, Joachim Pissarro, and most recently Lynn Gamwell. This season will serve as yet another chapter in this proud history, as we present five major lectures, all focusing on French art of the late 19th century in our collections. If you do not already have this brochure with the details of the lectures for this season, please pick one up on your way out. It’s a two-sided brochure. We have chosen to dedicate this season of the Brettell Lectures to the late Carolyn Horchow, who passed away earlier this year.
