HETAG Newsletter No 26, October 2018 THE FESTIVAL OF EARLIER HOUSTON ART A year and a half ago some of us (rather naively) designated fall 2018 as The Festival of Earlier Houston Art. We weren’t quite sure what we meant by that, what the Festival would consist of or how we were going to accomplish it, but we had 18 months to do it, so no sweat. Well, the months flew by, and here we are in fall 2018. And, guess what, the Festival of Earlier Houston Art is a reality. Museums and galleries all over town are showing not just art that has been bought-&-brought to Houston (fabulous as that undoubtedly often is), but art MADE in Houston, by Houston artists, going back to the 1850s and coming up to the day just before Contemporary. This is a once-in-our-lifetime opportunity for Houstonians and visitors to Houston to see our own art – the art that is uniquely ours.

  • 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.

I was walking with my teacher and advisor, Kermit S. Champa, and telling him how museum collaboration projects were going to be an institutional priority at Rice University. Kermit turned to me and said, “Well then, when you get to Houston, you might want to look into James Johnson Sweeney.” At the time, I couldn’t have guessed the magnitude of what sounded, at fi rst, like one of Kermit’s casual suggestions.

  • HETAG: the Houston Earlier Texas Art Group
    HETAG: The Houston Earlier Texas Art Group HETAG Newsletter No. 37, November 2019 The North Africa Issue! Why North Africa, you might ask? Well, why not! Houston is now known as a city with arms and eyes open to the world, but that attitude isn’t new. Ever since our city became a major port, soon after the turn of the 20th Century, we’ve been cultivating an international worldview. Our artists have led the way. Remember Houston Paints Mexico from last year? By now we all know that many of our Earlier Houston Artists ventured to Europe. Glance through past issues of the HETAG Newsletter, on the University of Houston Digital Library, for reminders of that. But four even went all the way to North Africa between the 1920s and the 1950s – Emma Richardson Cherry, Virgie Claxton, Frederic Browne and Gene Charlton. And, of course, they brought back images of what they saw to share with their fellow Houstonians. I’m hard pressed to think of any other Texas artists who made that trip (though there may be some I haven’t tracked down). Just another of those things that make Earlier Houston Art so distinctive and such fun. This seems a perfect time to acknowledge the influence of Houston artists on North Africa, as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, unveils the major addition to the collection of Eugène Delacroix's Women of Algiers in Their Apartment (1833–34), a recently rediscovered, early version of his famous painting on the same subject in the Louvre. The Delacroix joins other images of North Africa at MFAH, some of which have been in the collection since the founding of the museum, helping shape the vision of our artists, as they help us see the wide world along with them.
