  • Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging Her Hair Ca
    Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging her Hair ca. 1892, cast 1924 Bronze McNay Art Museum, Mary and Sylvan Lang Collection, 1975.61 In this bronze sculpture, Edgar Degas presents a nude woman, her body leaned forward and face obscured as she styles her hair. The composition of the figure is similar to those found in his paintings of women bathing. The artist displays a greater interest in the curves of the body and actions of the model than in capturing her personality or identity. More so than his posed representations of dancers, the nude served throughout Degas’ life as a subject for exploring new ideas and styles. French Moderns McNay labels_separate format.indd 1 2/27/2017 11:18:51 AM Fernand Léger French, 1881–1955 The Orange Vase 1946 Oil on canvas McNay Art Museum, Gift of Mary and Sylvan Lang, 1972.43 Using bold colors and strong black outlines, Fernand Léger includes in this still life an orange vase and an abstracted bowl of fruit. A leaf floats between the two, but all other elements, including the background, are abstracted beyond recognition. Léger created the painting later in his life when his interests shifted toward more figurative and simplified forms. He abandoned Cubism as well as Tubism, his iconic style that explored cylindrical forms and mechanization, though strong shapes and a similar color palette remained.

    Media Contact Rachel Trevino, Head of Communications and Marketing (o) 210.805.1754 (c) 210.854.8889 [email protected] Anastasia Pelias: mama NOW ON VIEW AT MCNAY ART MUSEUM New Outdoor Installation Activates Museum Grounds with Sculpture and Painted Landscape San Antonio, TX (January 2, 2019) – Commissioned by the McNay Art Museum from New Orleans-native Anastasia Pelias, mama is comprised of a monumental sculpture immersed within a painted landscape, and is now on view at the Museum. Located on a small hill just inside the North New Braunfels gate, the installation activates the landscape of the museum grounds by creating a space the artist intends to be “a place for people to be, to think, and to meditate.” “We are thrilled to feature mama this winter on the grounds of the first modern art museum in Texas,” said Richard Aste, Director of the McNay. “It is a paragon of artistic excellence--which we have defined in San Antonio for almost 65 years--and a thoughtful, meditative addition to our growing outdoor museum experience.” Pelias’s artworks span the areas of painting, drawing, video, sculpture, and installation, united through a cultural identity combining her native Louisiana birthplace and her ancestral roots in Greece. The sculpture’s shape is informed by the ancient iconic shapes associated with the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete. mama is at once a temporal artwork, an homage to Pelias’s family history, and a site for quiet contemplation. "mama is a work that pays homage to the essence of the female, to all mamas,” said Pelias.

  • Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (Active Before 1945)
    Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (active before 1945) Compiled by Susan V. Craig, Art & Architecture Librarian Univ. of Kansas August 2006 1 This book began with a 1981 reference question about John Noble, a name I did not recognize despite having studied art history and worked as an art librarian for more than 10 years. Learning that John Noble was a Kansas artist, I went looking for the best available book on Kansas art only to learn the resources were few. As a new faculty member at the Univ. of Kansas, I needed to establish a research project so I decided to prepare a dictionary of Kansas artists thus fulfilling both the research requirement and educating myself about the history of the visual arts in my native state; I just didn't intend the project to take 25 years or realize that I would have more than 1750 entries in the dictionary. I began by defining the scope of the work: • "Kansas artist" was loosely defined as artists who were both born in the state as well as artists who were born elsewhere but were artistically active in Kansas. Under this latter definition, I included artists who produced significant artworks such as the murals installed in Kansas post offices. Occasionally, artists who lived or worked primarily in Kansas City, MO may be included. I did not deliberately include all Kansas City artists but neither did I exclude them if the name came from a Kansas source such as the Kansas State Gazetteer. • Another choice I made was to look for artists who were artistically active before 1945.

  • Mcnay Art Museum Announces Rich Aste As New Director
    Media Contact Daniela Oliver de Portillo Director of Communications and Marketing 210.805.1754 | [email protected] Images and more information at mcnayart.org/astepress McNay Art Museum Announces Rich Aste as New Director Rich Aste brings a vibrant future to the McNay and is set to become a dynamic cultural leader for the City of San Antonio San Antonio, TX, August 2, 2016 - This morning the McNay Art Museum’s Board of Trustees confirmed the appointment of Dr. Richard Aste (as-tee) to serve as the museum’s third director. Aste is a socially conscious cultural leader and a dynamic art historian with wide-ranging experience in managing, curating, teaching, and publishing. In addition, he bears a deep knowledge of the art market. He comes to the McNay from the Brooklyn Museum in New York, where he served as Managing Curator, Arts of the Americas and Europe, and Curator of European Art. "Over the past six years, Rich rose to be one of the most treasured curators at the Brooklyn Museum.” comments Anne Pasternak, the Brooklyn Museum’s Shelby White and Leon Levy Director. “With a focus on Latin American art, he brought insightful exhibitions to vast publics while expanding the Museum's reach and scope to increasingly diverse audiences." Aste’s academic training as a scholar of European art and his professional development in New York and the Caribbean make him the ideal candidate to oversee the McNay and its growing collections. As former Associate Curator of European Art at the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico, he organized temporary exhibitions on Auguste Rodin and Impressionist landscapes and reinstalled the European collection.
