Meadows & Amon Carter Paintings Paired for Summer Show

SUMMER EXHIBITION AT THE MEADOWS TAKES VISITORS TO THE BEACH
19th-century paintings by Mariano Fortuny and William Merritt Chase
shine in first-time pairing
DALLAS (SMU) – May 15, 2018 – The Meadows Museum, SMU, presents a focused summer exhibition pairing its recent acquisition Beach at Portici (1874), by Mariano Fortuny y Marsal (1838–1874), with a loan from the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Idle Hours (1894), by William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). At the Beach: Mariano Fortuny y Marsal and William Merritt Chase explores Chase’s admiration of Fortuny, through two key paintings, one by the American artist and one by his Spanish predecessor, displayed together for the first time June 24 through September 23, 2018.
The depiction of leisure time at the beach was popular in late 19th-century painting, and both Fortuny and Chase used beach scenes to showcase their great skill at rendering light. In both paintings, the artists portray their respective families in fashionable white garments lounging near a curving coastline, Fortuny’s in southern Italy and Chase’s on Long Island, New York. The two paintings even share similar compositions—defined by strong diagonals and a balance of land, sky and figures—as well as loose, fluid brushstrokes that capture the effects bright summer sunlight on earth, sea, sky and skin. Even though the artists were separated by time and geography and never actually met, their paintings transcend distance, representing a dialogue that speaks eloquently of a bond between them.
Mariano Fortuny y Marsal (Spanish 1838–1874), Beach at Portici, 1874. Oil on canvas.
“Chase said of Fortuny, ‘Everything he did was interesting.’ And he was not alone in his admiration for the Spanish painter, who was extremely popular in America at the turn of the century. But while Chase never knew Fortuny the man, he certainly knew Fortuny’s paintings, including Beach at Portici, which Chase would have had ample opportunity to see in America—most notably at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, the year before he painted Idle Hours,” says Amanda W. Dotseth, Meadows/Mellon/Prado Fellow and co-curator of the exhibition with Mark A. Roglán, The Linda P. and William A. Custard Director of the Meadows Museum.
“Despite their differing career trajectories,” says Roglán, “each artist achieved fame as a cosmopolitan painter. They were celebrated for these canvases, which present painterly beach scenes with scintillating summer light while celebrating the extraordinary beauty to be found in everyday moments with family.”
This exhibition has been organized by the Meadows Museum and funded by a generous gift from The Meadows Foundation.

The following public programs will complement this exhibition:
Three Thursdays, May 31, June 7 & 14, 6:00–7:30 p.m.
LECTURE SERIES: Light, Camera, Landscape: The Rise of International Impressionism
Nancy Cohen Israel, art historian and owner of Art à la Carte
Technological advances in the 19th century made it possible for artists to work en plein air. The advent of train travel and tubed pigments beckoned urban artists to villages such as Barbizon and Fontainebleau, France. Taking full advantage of natural light, these painters started an artistic revolution. Not only did the Paris School become a magnet attracting artists from across Europe and the United States, but it ultimately sent them back to their home countries, bringing this radical new style with them. This series will trace the rise of Impressionism in France, the offshoots of painters in Spain and Italy, and the aftershocks sent throughout the West.
$40 for the 3-part series; free for Museum members, and SMU faculty, staff, and students; registration required at 214.768.8587
Bob and Jean Smith Auditorium
Saturday, June 23, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
COMMUNITY DAY: A Day at the Beach
Spend the day at the beach and take in the light of late 19th century masters Mariano Fortuny y Marsal of Spain and William Merritt Chase of the United States. This special community day will include art making, gallery talks, a storyteller, refreshments, and more!
FREE
Thursday, June 28, 6:00-7:00 p.m.
LECTURE: At the Beach: Mariano Fortuny y Marsal and William Merritt Chase
Mark A. Roglán, The Linda P. and William A. Custard Director of the Meadows Museum
Andrew Walker, Executive Director, Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Join us for this special double lecture examining the creation of Mariano Fortuny y Marsal’s (1883–1874) Beach at Portici, 1874, and William Merritt Chase’s (1849–1916) Idle Hours, 1894, on loan from the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Many comparisons can be made between these two cosmopolitan painters, Fortuny of Spain and Chase of the United States. The two artists both utilized loose, rapid painting styles akin to French Impressionism. Despite his early death, Fortuny established a popular genre of painting costumed figures set in richly ornamented settings. This fashion of painting was assumed by the younger Chase while he was studying abroad in Europe in the 1870s. The two painters turned to more private and personal scenes in their later work, which will be the subject of this special program held in conjunction with the summer installation At the Beach: Mariano Fortuny y Marsal and William Merritt Chase.
Free; reservations required at 214.768.8587

About the Meadows Museum
The Meadows Museum is the leading U.S. institution focused on the study and presentation of the art of Spain. In 1962, Dallas businessman and philanthropist Algur H. Meadows donated his private collection of Spanish paintings, as well as funds to start a museum, to Southern Methodist University. The Museum opened to the public in 1965, marking the first step in fulfilling Meadows’s vision to create “a small Prado for Texas.” Today, the Meadows is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. The collection spans from the 10th to the 21st centuries and includes medieval objects, Renaissance and Baroque sculptures, and major paintings by Golden Age and modern masters.

Francys’ paintings have a unique style, elegance, and technique. She blends realism with impressionism, uses bright colors, and creates soft edges. Her glazing technique was first developed by the old masters. She is a well-known demonstrator and workshop instructor in the North Texas area.
Artist’s Statement
“Words, strung like pearls on a page paint a picture. Music tells the soul a story. Colours and shapes on a canvas make the heart sing. Three doors into a magical and lovely place that God’s gift, imagination, allows us to enter. As a child I strolled at will through these doors and lived in that place. As I “grew up”, I never left it.
In 1977 God gave me another gift in the person of artist Dick Turner. Dick gave a fortunate few the tools needed in order to use paint and canvas to take others into that world of beauty and peace. A world that might catch at your imagination and cause you to ask, “What if…..”
From the time I was a small girl I knew I would be an artist. I just didn’t know what kind. I read book after book about painters, musicians, dancers, and writers. Then in 1977, through the chance meeting with artist Dick Turner, I knew that I too would be a painter.
I immersed myself, soul and body, in that pursuit. I studied with Dick from 1977 until 1982, taking 5 and 6 classes a week at his private art school in Houston. I have also received instruction from William Reese, William Henry Earle, Carolyn Anderson, Greg Kreutz, Roberta Carter Clark, Ray Vinella, Jean Chambers, Scott Burdick and Daniel Greene.
I also teach in my home studio and am available for club demonstrations in the Dallas metroplex area.

PANELISTS:
BANG DANG, Architect
Bang has called Dallas his home since he was five years old, and having a Chinese background, he has a unique, Eastern/Western take on architecture. The natural inclination to be rational, subtle, and minimal is countered by the urge to be instinctive, brave, and free. Bang’s focus is making architecture that is abstract in its homage to Texas regionalism and subtle in its attempt to be inventive. Bang’s experience in the field is broad and varied, covering architecture of all types and scales. Bang holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Architecture from the University of Texas at Arlington, where he was an Adjunct Professor for six years. Bang taught a variety of design studios including a two semester design/build studio where students design and construct prototype micro houses. Bang is a founding partner, with Rizi Faruqui, of the award winning, modern practice FAR + DANG. A rigorous and proactive research agenda and a passion for exploring ideas of space and lifestyle are the foundations of the firm’s design process.

The firm’s primary focus is residential interior design and architecture including new construction and renovation. Current projects are based throughout the USA as well as a project in the Middle East. Robyn’s style can best be described as modern and versatile with the foundation of inspiration based predominantly on art and architecture. Robyn’s projects have been published in D Home, D Moms, Dallas Modern Luxury, Dallas Interiors, Homes + Estates Magazine, Patron, Dallas Morning News, and Western Art + Architecture.

IAA Meeting May 22: Navneeta Khemka on Tanjore Art- Gold Foil & semi-precious stones
The May IAA Members Meeting will be held on the 4th Tuesday evening, May 22 at 7pm.
It will feature artist Navneeta Khemka, who will give a demonstration of Tanjore Art, an ancient Indian (South Asian) art which goes as back as the 1600 AD. These paintings are characterized by rich, flat and vivid colors, simple iconic composition, glittering gold foils overlaid on delicate but extensive gesso work and inlay of glass beads and pieces of very rarely precious and semi-precious gems. Originally, the subjects of most paintings have been Hindu gods, goddesses, and saints. In modern times, these paintings have become souvenirs and colorful pieces of art to decorate walls, and collectors’ items for art lovers
Her demo will feature the fundamental technique of this art form. She will also give ideas as how one could incorporate the art form in modern contemporary and other art styles. How one can protect the work from weather damage. She will also give you a list of supplies and materials used in this art form.
Doors open at 6:30 pm and the Meeting starts at 7:00 pm at the Jaycee Park Center for the Arts in Irving. Guests are welcome. Directions.
Find out more about the Irving Art Assocation at http://IrvingArt.org.
About the artist:
Navneeta is a Fashion Designer/Merchandiser and has a degree from FIT, New York in Merchandising. She is also a Radio Jockey on a popular FM frequency in Dallas catering to the South Asian Community. She has worked at several corporate design houses in India and in New York and she moved to Dallas in 2012. She lives in Flower Mound, TX.
She has won several art awards in Irving and also in Denton and has become a full-time artist. Her art has heavy reflections of her culture and folk art as she has grown up in India. She feels art has no boundaries. Her exposure to the American Art has strengthened this belief that American art can be given a different dimension if incorporated with different techniques of Indian Art styles. That is what she is set to achieve with her work.
She has also started a small company through which she does mobile paint parties. Her solo exhibit would be on display at the IAA from April 26th – May 24th, the same time when the demo would take place. One could find more of her works with the Tanjore art form used in many of her pieces.

Steven Charles: You and I are living now – opening May 19 at CWFA
Steven Charles: You and I are living now
May 19 – June 23, 2018
Opening Reception: May 19th, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
1845 Levee St #110 @ Turtle Creek Blvd.
t 214.745.1415
Cris Worley Fine Arts is proud to announce our first solo show of paintings by local artist Steven Charles. You and I are living now, opens with an artist’s reception on Saturday, May 19th from 5 – 8 pm. The artist will be in attendance for the opening reception. This exhibition marks the artist’s first solo show in Texas and will be on view through June 23.
Paintings by Steven Charles are electrifying multi-layered abstract compositions that obsessively shift in spatial depth and color producing dazzling optical effects. Often embedded with found material, his combined works are known for their eerily sweet palette of acrylic paint that appear to be emerging microbial colonies—frozen in vivo. His work is highly informed by the aesthetics of surrealist and pop art, which took satirical approaches to the notion that “high” art should exist separate from forces in popular culture.
In this exhibition, the artist continues his ambitious execution of densely mapped compositions, which can often take years to complete. Playful, rigorous, and spontaneous, his works pulsate in a distinct maximalist style all their own. The title of the exhibition is an invitation, spoken directly from the work of art to the viewer, beckoning a closer look. This invitation extends from the artist’s belief that, “the viewer completes the image,” and signals his arrival in North Texas. For the artist, and the viewer, the pleasure is in the details.
Steven Charles was born in Birkenhead, England, in 1967 and immigrated to North Texas in the late 1970’s. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of North Texas in 1994, and gained his Master of Fine Arts degree from Temple University in Rome in 1996. He was a Visiting Artist Lecturer at the School of Visual Art in New York in 2003 and 2015. His work has been exhibited nationally in galleries and museums on the East and West Coasts, and abroad in Canada and Spain. Most notably he was represented by Pierogi and Marlborough Galleries in New York City. He has been the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, and an Artist’s Fellowship from The New York Foundation for the Arts. His work has been reviewed in publications such as, Art in America, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Vice among others.

Reception for Lucrecia Waggoner: DICHOTOMY – May 12
Waggoner’s impressive installations are intricately mapped to suit their surroundings and are inspired by forms found in nature and abstract visions of landscapes. She incorporates various materials in her work, including precious metals, such as 22k Gold, palladium, and bronze, which add depth and illuminate each individual vessel. Waggoner harmonizes organic forms and geometric patterns to create compelling compositions that distinctly transform any space. In this exhibition, Waggoner explores the dynamic relationships of polar opposite relationships and the juxtaposition between darkness, light, and color – ultimately creating a balanced dichotomy.

LGAA: Birds of a Feather Exhibit and David Tripp watercolor demo May 14
Lake Granbury Art Association presents Birds of a Feather May 11th through May 31st at Shanley House Gallery., 224 N. Travis in Granbury. The theme, of course, is birds.
http://lakegranburyart.blogspot.com/
General Meeting – Monday, May 14, 7:00 P.M. – Shanley House
Arlington Watercolorist David Tripp will be demonstrating Watercolor Design and Technics from conception to completion for the Lake Granbury Art Association (LGAA) at their monthly meeting 7:00 pm Monday, May 14, at the Shanley House Center for the Arts located at 224 N. Travis St. by the Hood County Library. This is a free event and is open to the public.
Tripp grew up in St. Louis, Missouri where he had been drawing and painting since before he could read. As a young man he had dreams of being a sports illustrator and drew football players incessantly. He would use acrylic paint that he had watered down to paint with, trying to create trees and landscapes.
After college, Tripp taught Art History in Arlington’s High Schools for the next 28 years. During this time he also taught private art lessons at his home studio. Tripp also painted numerous murals at Martin High School in Arlington.
Watercolor became Tripp’s passion. He believes that not only skill, but vision and settings help lend his paintings authenticity. Tripp loves to paint old buildings and scenes that are no longer relevant in today’s society. He feels a sense of loss just as he feels the sense of energy transported from the past as he paints these places. He hopes his painting evokes the same feelings in the people that see his work, bringing back memories of days gone by.
Tripp loves to drive down the back roads of Texas seeking out husks and relics from past generations. His watercolors feature the small-town American places that are fading from our landscape, but not our memories, preserving these sights for future generations. Whether it’s a camera or paintbrush in hand, taking pictures or painting small studies on location en plein air, Tripp is always on the lookout for abandoned service stations, general stores, or old movie theaters. There is beauty and symmetry in these old buildings, just waiting to be captured and celebrated.
Since March of 2017, Tripp has focused most of his artistic energies in pursuit of subjects from the Texas State Railroad in addition to the broader legacy of the American railroad.
Ever wish you could capture great photographs of beautiful birds? Learn from someone who not only takes great photos of many remarkable Texas birds, he helps to educate visitors to the Acton Nature Center.
One of our youth camera club members, Jake Balmuth, will be the featured speaker at the Tuesday, May 15, 6:30 P.M. at the Shanley House. Jake will talk to us about how to capture great bird photos, the equipment that works well for this type of photography and when, where and how to photograph. He’ll share some of the many tips and tricks he’s learned. As a special treat, he will address one of his favorite subjects – hummingbirds.
In the past several years, Jake has honed his birding and photo skills from beginner to award winning photographer. He has journeyed with his camera to shoot birds across the State and had his work accepted into many juried shows. He received Honorable Mention awards at the 2014 Friends of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge Nature Photo Contest and the Granbury Camera Club Photography Show and he garnered first prize, youth division, at the photography competition of the Association Nature et Patrimoine du Val d’ Are in Geneva, Switzerland. Jake, a high school senior, has many other interests including playing the violin, chamber music, astronomy, chemistry, drawing, painting, etc., but photography is a particular passion.
Join us for this program, then venture into the Shanley Gallery to see the art show, which features birds!
OK, can’t resist – let’s flock together to support Jake as he takes time out of his busy graduation schedule to present this program.
See you soon!
Phyllis
*Reminder, this is the last official Camera Club Meeting until summer break. The September meeting is slated for September 11, as a workshop is now scheduled to take place at The Shanley during our regular meeting time.

Demo 7pm
Valeri Cranston Alcohol inks
Contemporary artist Valeri Cranston began her journey into art at the age of 7 in piano class. Bored with the lessons she began to draw on the sheet music. A call to her mother from her piano teacher soon got Valeri out of piano class and into an oil painting class. She immersed herself into all things art from that point forward.
Valeri graduated from the University of Tulsa in 1979 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and began working as a graphic artist and illustrator. After completing coursework for an Associate Degree in Applied Scienc- es she began working in the healthcare profession with critically ill babies and children at hospitals in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Dallas, Texas. After more than a decade working in hospitals, Valeri retired from her healthcare career and moved back into the art field through graphic arts and soon began painting again.
Moving from Fort Worth to Granbury, Texas with her husband Jeff in 2007, Valeri found a rich and varied art community which inspired her to dive back into painting. After managing a gallery on Granbury Square she retired and devoted her time to explore other mediums and painting styles in order to push her abilities further.
Valeri’s paintings are represented by Against the Grain Studio on Gran- bury Square where she also teaches Alcohol Ink classes.
TAG in the morning meets at 10 am. There is usually a supply fee.
