REIMAGINING OUR FUTURE

A NEW DMA FOR A NEW DALLAS

Inspired perspectives on what it means to be a 21st-century museum in such a vibrant and pioneering city.

Dear Members,

It has been a busy year here at the Dallas Museum of Art! Each April, the city of Dallas bands together to celebrate Dallas artists and arts and culture organizations with Dallas Arts Month. For the tenth anniversary of Arts Month, the city was brought to life by the Dallas Art Fair, pop-ups, installations, and performances for art lovers of all kinds! We celebrated Arts Month in true DMA fashion with acquisitions, dynamic programs, an exhibition opening, and an unforgettable fundraiser.

I look forward to each April because it means that art by gifted rising artists will join the DMA’s collection. During this year’s Art Fair, the DMA acquired 10 works of contemporary art, three of which were created by Texas artists, through the generosity of the Dallas Art Foundation + Dallas Museum of Art Acquisition Fund. It is a true privilege to bring artworks illuminating presentday issues by living and local artists home to the DMA to inspire invigorating discussions and connection.

During this same month, we celebrated the homecoming of the premier Dallas artist Ja’Tovia Gary with the opening of Concentrations 64: Ja’Tovia Gary, I KNOW IT WAS THE BLOOD, on view through November 5. We are deeply honored to host Gary’s firstever solo museum exhibition in Dallas, and we delighted in the time we spent working with her to bring the exhibition to life.

Amid the hubbub of acquisitions, exhibitions, and events throughout the city, the DMA hosted Art Ball, our biggest annual fundraising event. This eagerly anticipated night saw the Museum transformed by fabulous fashions and magical decor. Through the generosity of our donors, Art Ball 2023 raised just under $1.1 million, far surpassing our original goal of $800,000. Proceeds from Art Ball directly support the DMA’s commitment

to presenting diverse exhibitions and providing innovative educational and public programs—all while caring for a collection of over 25,000 objects and offering engaging access to incredible works of art.

Summers in Texas are known for blinding sunlight and blistering temperatures, but at the DMA the solstice means that some of our most exciting programs are just around the corner. From June to August, we welcomed budding creatives home from school for the summer to explore the DMA and create during Summer Art Camps.

We joyfully celebrated Pride Month in June alongside our neighbors in the heart of the city during the annual Dallas Arts District Pride Block Party! During this art-filled celebration of love and community, over 3,000 guests joined us for a Late Night event highlighting how the LGBTQ+ community has shaped the landscape of the arts throughout history.

The sixth iteration of the Museum’s Concourse mural series, featuring an installation by globally renowned artist Tiffany Chung, debuted this summer. Combining visual and sonic elements, Tiffany Chung: Rise Into the Atmosphere transforms the Concourse into a multisensorial landscape that engages the viewer in narratives of migration and movement, especially those found within Dallas, in recognition and celebration of these lived experiences.

The arrival of autumn has brought brand-new exhibitions that you, our members, can enjoy for free!

If you haven’t already seen the recently premiered Abraham Ángel: Between Wonder and Seduction, I highly recommend you make the time to see these vibrant and captivating works of art on your next visit! Assembling nearly all of the artist’s known surviving works, this pivotal exhibition introduces U.S. audiences to the legendary Mexican modernist with the first major survey of his work in over 35 years.

We are excited to host the “visionary” (The New Yorker) exhibition Afro-Atlantic Histories as the final venue of its U.S. tour in October, and we have many more captivating exhibitions that we look forward to telling

you about soon, including a fresh take on the works of some of your favorite Impressionists!

In February we launched the Reimagining the Dallas Museum of Art International Design Competition, kicking off with an open call for submissions from architects both here at home and around the world, to help us reimagine our space to better serve our community and the art in our care. With over 150 submissions from 27 countries, we were overwhelmed with the global interest not only in our Museum but in our city from the world’s most brilliant minds. In May we welcomed our six finalists to Dallas to have an in-person look at our space and the Arts District, and to interact with our community.

In July the DMA debuted a presentation of the firms’ preliminary design concepts, inviting the community to view the models and take part in the process by providing their feedback. It was an honor to collaborate with each of these firms, who all introduced inspired perspectives on what it means to be a 21st-century museum in such a vibrant and pioneering city. In August we were excited to announce the winning architect team. I invite you to learn more about our winner and the design competition on page 19.

I am truly so proud of all that we have accomplished in 2023. The DMA was voted Best Museum in DFW for 2023 by Dallas Voice readers; Matthew Wong: The Realm of Appearances was chosen Best Exhibition in D Magazine’s 2023 Best of Big D awards; and our “Imagine Your Journey” brand campaign was a finalist in D CEO ’s 2023 Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards for Most Successful Awareness Campaign. You, our members, make achievements like this possible through your support. I look forward to seeing all that we can accomplish together as our Museum enters a new era!

Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools: 300 Years of Flemish Masterworks

On view through October 15, 2023

As medieval Europe sat on the precipice of change, the small county of Flanders in the Southern Netherlands developed into a cultural and economic powerhouse. Featuring a dazzling array of masterworks from the 1400s through the 1600s, Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools highlights the innovative ways that Flemish artists depicted their rapidly changing world through style and storytelling. These stunning artworks detail stories about dreams and ambitions, fears and desires, and what it means to be human.

Concentrations 64: Ja’Tovia Gary, I KNOW IT WAS THE BLOOD

On view through November 5, 2023

Concentrations 64 brings together five artworks and related ephemera created by the Dallas-native filmmaker and visual artist over the past three years. Showcasing glowing neon script, a newly commissioned sculpture, film sourced from the artist’s family archives, and paintings, this multimedia installation is an evocative memoir that celebrates the power of ancestral knowledge. Often employing intimate and politically charged subject matter, Gary’s work subverts the dominant narratives found in mainstream storytelling and visual culture.

Picasso’s Muses: Between Inspiration and Obsession

On view through January 7, 2024

A man often understood as synonymous with “modern art” itself, Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) had an enormous artistic output throughout his long career that cemented his legacy as a household name even today. Picasso’s name and legacy are also undivorceable from the misogynistic or abusive behavior he demonstrated toward women. The artist was inspired by his lovers, who served as muses for his ever-changing style. These women were key to Picasso’s artistic success and fame, yet their contributions are often overlooked. Through works on paper from the DMA’s collection, Picasso’s Muses: Between Inspiration and Obsession celebrates the muses in Picasso’s oeuvre 50 years after the artist’s death.

ON VIEW EXHIBITIONS

Abraham Ángel: Between Wonder and Seduction

On view through January 28, 2024

Abraham Ángel (1905–1924) came of age during a time of seismic change in Mexico. A queer artist, he found a sense of belonging in Mexico City’s dynamic artistic scene alongside the leading cultural figures of the period. Although he produced just 24 paintings before his death at the age of 19, his work made him an icon in Mexican art. Abraham Ángel: Between Wonder and Seduction, the first survey of Ángel’s work in 35 years, considers the life, painting, and legacy of this legendary artist.

Backs in Fashion: Mangbetu Women’s Egbe

September 23, 2023 to August 2, 2025

Bold-patterned egbe (singular: negbe) are back aprons made of plantain leaves worn by aristocratic Mangbetu women on special occasions from the turn of the 20th century until around 1980. Thus attired, the women welcomed visitors to the magnificent Mangbetu kingdom in present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo. Backs in Fashion presents 16 back aprons in different styles and patterns, along with period photographs, and explains what motivated fashionable Mangbetu women to create the new fashion in the first place.

Tiffany Chung: Rise Into the Atmosphere

On view through August 3, 2025

Part of the Museum’s Concourse mural series, Rise Into the Atmosphere features a multisensory installation by artist Tiffany Chung. The artist collaborated with 30 international musicians, including Syrians in exile, who drew from memories of home and the experience of being forcefully uprooted. This mural reminds us of the power of music and the visual arts to bring back beauty, humanity, and hope, expanding beyond today’s media-saturated images of “conflict zones.”

EXHIBITION SPOTLIGHT

On view through January 28, 2024

In his book on Abraham Ángel, the writer and poet Luis Mario Schneider describes the moment he “met” the artist through his paintings, describing it as a feeling between wonder and seduction. I, too, can clearly remember the moment that I became entranced by the work of Abraham Ángel. I had heard the artist’s name before and seen his paintings reproduced in books, but on a visit in 2014 to the Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico City, I came upon his Self-Portrait. Something about the poised tilt of Ángel’s head and the force of his sideward gaze—both assessing and defiant—captured my imagination. I felt the charge of connection that each of us feels when we discover a work of art that speaks to the very core of our being.

The canon of modern Mexican art is filled with a rich cast of characters: artists, writers, thinkers, and politicians who reshaped the nation’s culture in the wake of the Mexican Revolution. Within this dynamic ensemble, few have a more fascinating story than Abraham Ángel. Beginning to paint at the age of 16, he was surrounded by peers who went on to become the leading cultural luminaries of the period. As his work began to garner critical praise, Ángel died suddenly at the age of 19, leaving behind only 24 known works, four of which have been lost since the time of his death.

Despite this limited number of works, Ángel was praised by his peers as one of the most important artists of his generation—among the first to emerge out of the shadow of both the Revolution and the European-influenced visual culture that had dominated Mexican art for decades. Joined together in grief at the loss of this young talent, those who knew Ángel best, such as the painters Manuel Rodríguez Lozano and Adolfo Best Maugard, promoted his work and its position within the canon. To this day, no publication or exhibition about modern Mexican art is complete without one of Ángel’s treasured paintings.

In a sense, the trauma of the artist’s death has been allowed to overwhelm the impressive achievements of his life. As the centenary of Ángel’s death approaches, the time is ripe for a reassessment and fresh interpretation of his work. Abraham Ángel: Between Wonder and Seduction is the realization of my dream to offer a critical reassessment of his work and bring his paintings to the attention of new audiences in the United States and Mexico.

Excerpted from the exhibition catalogue Abraham Ángel: Between Wonder and Seduction, available in the DMA Store. Written by Mark Castro, Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Chrysler Museum of Art and former Jorge Baldor Curator of Latin American Art at the DMA.

EXHIBITION SPOTLIGHT

Below is an interview between cocurators of the exhibition Dr. Katherine Brodbeck, Hoffman Family Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, and Ade Omotosho, The Nancy and Tim Hanley Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art.

Katherine Brodbeck :

I wanted to begin, Ade, by welcoming you to the DMA. You started at the beginning of April and it’s actually a homecoming for you. You've worked in other museums in Texas and Miami and Massachusetts, and we're so excited to have you back in your hometown. This is the first exhibition you'll be working on at the Museum. What are you most excited about?

Ade Omotosho:

It's great to be back in Texas, and I’m thrilled that this is the first show I’ll be working on. First, it feels rare to have such a range of artworks in one exhibition, with such great historical material presented alongside more recent contemporary work. Eugène Delacroix being in the same space as a Zanele Muholi print is completely unexpected. Secondly, you get a kaleidoscopic range of perspectives from the Black Diaspora, coming from the African continent, the Americas,

PRESENTED BY

the Caribbean, and Europe. It feels enriching to think about conversations around the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade and even Blackness from an emphatically global perspective.

KB: I totally agree. This is a traveling show that originated in Brazil at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, where I first saw it, and then it was reconfigured for the U.S. tour by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where you first saw it, and we both visited it at LACMA, its penultimate venue. What I agree is so great about this exhibition is that it takes a hemispheric approach to the African Diaspora, which is rarer to see in the U.S., where we have such a rich legacy of our own national story. After seeing it in these different contexts, how does our presentation differ and what do you hope that local audiences here in Dallas will gain from seeing the show?

AO: It's exciting to be the finale for this exhibition, and it was great to see it in Houston, especially because I used to work at MFAH. For our own presentation, I've been fascinated by the ways that we’re amending the show to fit our galleries. There are some logistical limitations—we won’t be able to exhibit certain works for conservation reasons—but I look forward to working with those challenges to come up with something that feels dynamic for our audiences. It’s great that a work by Jammie Holmes will be included in the exhibition and audiences will see a local artist represented in the show.

EXHIBITION SPOTLIGHT

KB: There are a couple of works included by artists connected to the region—another great work by Annette Lawrence, who lived for decades in North Texas, as well as others from our collection that have been touring as part of the exhibition. One is the Delacroix, which you mentioned, and another is by the Mexican modernist Carlos Orozco Romero. It’s an amazing opportunity for us to reconceptualize these historic works that haven't really been shown in the context of their depiction of a subject of color, as well as an opportunity to think about potential future gallery interventions to enliven collection works that are telling stories that we haven’t focused on in the past. I want to end by discussing the title of the exhibition, which gives a subtle but important clue to the viewer about the great diversity of work that they will encounter.

AO: I’ve been interested in the resonance of histórias in the original Portuguese title and the capaciousness of that term. History is often framed as this grand narrative, but it’s compelling to consider its many registers that accommodate oral histories, speculative narratives, and even folklore. I think it’s important to work against the grain of “official” history, as it offers artists space to play with the archive, as in Ja’Tovia Gary’s work [now on view in the Museum’s Hoffman Galleries], which has been influenced by Saidiya Hartman’s scholarship around critical fabulation. These projects allow us to expand our sense of history and find ways to redress certain gaps and erasures.

Reimagining Our Future: A

New DMA for a New Dallas

The year 2023 will be celebrated for years to come as a monumental time in our beloved institution’s history. Heralded as a “novel and ingenious” way to find an architect “from which the world can learn much” by the Wall Steet Journal, the DMA’s six-month Reimagining the Dallas Museum of Art International Design Competition empowered our community to help us select the architect team that will join us to build our future.

Dallas–Fort Worth is changing by the minute: the Metroplex’s success is such that it will soon be the third largest in the country. Just as we catalyzed the Dallas Arts District when our current facility opened in 1984, the DMA sees this moment in time as our opportunity to once again play a significant role in shaping the future of Dallas.

Beginning in February, the DMA, in collaboration with competition organizers Malcolm Reading Consultants, put out an open call for submissions from local, national, and international architects to help us reimagine our space to better serve our community and the art in our care. With over 150 submissions from 27 countries, we were overwhelmed with the global interest in our museum and city. In May we welcomed our six finalist teams to Dallas, including David Chipperfield Architects, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Johnston Marklee, Michael Maltzan Architecture, Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, and Weiss/Manfredi. While they were here, they got a first-hand look at our space and the Dallas Arts District and had the opportunity to interact with our community.

" We warmly congratulate Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos. Their concept design mixes a poetic sensibility with a dynamic and sustainable design strategy that respects Edward Larrabee Barnes's original intentions, all the while preparing us to become a 21st-century museum.

It is the best time in our Museum’s history to transform our building to articulate the dynamic and diverse programming we provide. A transformation to the DMA campus will send a signal that we are inviting everyone near and far to join our vibrant art community.

We need a building that reflects our importance to the city and has the potential to introduce new ways to present and interact with art."

— Gowri N. Sharma President of the DMA’s Board of Trustees and Jeffrey S. Ellerman Chairman of the Board

SPECIAL FEATURE

In July the DMA debuted a presentation of the firms’ preliminary design concepts, inviting the community to view the models and take part in the process by providing feedback. It was an honor to collaborate with each of these firms, all of which introduced inspired perspectives on what it means to be a 21st-century museum in such a vibrant and pioneering city.

In August our Architect Selection Committee, chaired by Jennifer Eagle and Lucilo Peña, recommended the selection of Nieto Sobejano Architectos (NSA), a recommendation that was unanimously adopted by the DMA Board of Trustees. This selection continues to be celebrated around the world and here at home, earning a “bravo” from the Dallas Morning News. On behalf of the DMA, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my fellow Architect Selection Committee members for their diligent and dedicated work to lead this monumental effort from start to finish. We wish to thank our three anonymous donors who underwrote the Reimagining the Dallas Museum of Art International Design Competition.

Since the conclusion of the competition, the DMA has since convened a new Master Facilities Plan Task Force, chaired by trustee and former Board President Catherine Marcus Rose and ASC Co-Chair and trustee Lucilo Peña. The new task force will take the project forward in collaboration with the winning architect team, the DMA Board of Trustees, and the community at large.

At the heart of one of the most exciting cities in America, the DMA is moving closer to the day when we can unveil a reimagined building, a new identity, and, potentially, the most significant collection of contemporary art of any encyclopedic museum. We look forward to continuing this journey with all of you while fulfilling our mantra: art is at the center, and equity and community are at the core of all we do. We invite you to keep up with our progress and engage with where we are heading next at dma.org.

" We want to respect the original building, keeping as much as we can is integral to a holistic sustainable approach, but we also want to transform it radically."

UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

Get ready for all the exciting new exhibitions coming in fall 2023 and spring 2024!

Afro-Atlantic Histories

October 22, 2023 to February 11, 2024

Afro-Atlantic Histories, coorganized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, is a fascinating in-depth look at the art created by and of the African Diaspora. The show gathers over 100 artworks and documents linked to the “ebbs and flows” among Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe from the 17th century to today. This exhibition engages visitors in dialogues that reexamine histories of enslavement, resilience, and the struggle for liberation from a global perspective. Learn more on page 15.

He Said/She Said: Contemporary Women Artists Interject

December 17, 2023 to July 21, 2024

The women artists featured in this show reference art history to argue for their inclusion in the canon that has long ignored their contributions. Ranging from the feminist movement of the 1970s to young artists inspired by Surrealism, their work critiques gender norms, sexism, and racism. Many, especially from the postmodern period of the 1970s to 1990s, appropriate elements from the work of male artists, some of which are included in the show. They thus question the myth of the sole, male genius to create space for new, more inclusive narratives.

The Impressionist Revolution from Monet to Matisse

February 11 to November 3, 2024

This exhibition tells the story of Impressionism and its legacy from Post-Impressionism to modernism. Drawn from the DMA’s extraordinary holdings, it features works by the most significant members of the movement, including Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Visitors will take a thought-provoking journey through the rebellious origins of these outcast artists and their revolutionary exhibitions, exploring the experimental techniques and subjects that set a new course for modern art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

EDUCATION: SCHOOL PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS

School Programming Highlights

For nearly two years, it was quiet during the week in the DMA’s Concourse, but in fall 2022, school tours (and all school programs) returned! The excitement of students, chaperones, volunteers, and DMA educators alike echoed throughout the galleries. We welcomed over 25,000 students on tours during the 2022–2023 school year, and we look forward to seeing many new and returning faces in the new school year.

This fall, the DMA will launch new self-guided tours specifically for DISD students, expand school partnerships across the Metroplex, and work with our Educator Advisory Council to develop teacher materials for use at school or in the Museum. Join in the fun and learn more at dma.org/programs/school-programs

Go van Gogh

Our rides may have evolved over the past 45 years, but the Go van Gogh outreach program is still hitting the road, bringing artistic wonder to Pre-K–6th grade and special education classrooms at any DISD campus, as well as to private and public schools within Dallas city limits. Go van Gogh provides a platform for students to think about, talk about, and make art, and has been serving generations—perhaps even you! All programs are offered in both English and Spanish, ensuring that every student can embark on this exhilarating artistic journey.

This year, students can explore the vibrant art and histories of molas from Panama, decode the secrets of landscapes, take imaginary global journeys, discover hidden meanings in portraits, experience the rhythms of everyday life, and savor foodinspired art. There’s plenty to ignite the imagination!

NEW ACQUISITIONS

Latin American Art

This painting by Antonio Pujol depicts a series of creatures in a verdant landscape—some of which appear to be native to Mexico. A committed political activist throughout his life, Pujol produced works that spoke directly to everyday life in Mexico. Through this painting, the artist searches for the identity of a Mexican landscape by combining real and imagined flora and fauna. Creatures in a Landscape builds the DMA’s collection of Mexican modern art, expanding beyond well-known figures to offer visitors a richer and more nuanced narrative of the crossover between art and politics in modern Mexican art.

Indigenous American Art

Styles of body adornment and symbols of beauty are often portrayed in ceramic figurines from across the ancient Americas. These two joined figures are depicted with the distinctive characteristics of the Ameca pottery style from the Jalisco region of West Mexico. Their elongated heads suggest the practice of cranial modification, a marker of beauty and elite status. The raised dots on their shoulders and legs likely represent scarification, which is also thought to have indicated high social rank. Featuring nearly identical large eyes; straight, naturalistic noses; and mouths displaying incised teeth, this sculpture might represent powerful female twins.

Creatures in a Landscape (detail), about 1929–1933. Antonio Pujol. Oil on canvas. Dallas Museum of Art, gift of Anne d’Harnoncourt and Joseph J. Rishel, 2022.59.

Seated Women, 300 BCE–300 CE. Jalisco (Ameca style). Jalisco, Mexico. Ceramic and pigment. Dallas Museum of Art, the Otis and Velma Davis Dozier Fund, 2021.26.

U.S. and Canadian Art

Trained in Philadelphia and Paris, Hugh Breckenridge became a beloved and longtime teacher at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He kept his finger on the pulse of artistic trends—both European and American—and, as a result, his oeuvre incorporates a range of styles. The high-key palette and broken brushwork in Landscape reflect his response to Post-Impressionist trends, including Pointillism and Fauvism. The acquisition of Landscape allows the DMA to effectively convey the rich range of the landscape genre practiced in America following the turn of the century.

Karl Sterrer created this monumental and dynamic image just a year after his return from a period of study in Italy. The exaggerated musculature of the powerful figure hoisting the clouds aloft is a testament to the works of Michelangelo that Sterrer encountered while in Rome. Sculptural in its conception, Cloudbearer possesses a visual power derived from a use of intense color and high contrast, which project the male figure forward into a confrontation with the viewer. The acquisition of Cloudbearer significantly strengthens the DMA’s holdings of Germanic works.

Landscape (detail), about 1908. Hugh Henry Breckenridge. Oil on canvas. Dallas Museum of Art, General Acquisition Fund and Janet Kendall Forsythe Fund in honor of Janet Kendall Forsythe on behalf of the Earl A. Forsythe Family, 2022.23.

NEW ACQUISITIONS

Postwar and Contemporary Art

In her recent sculptural practice, Simone Leigh marries the techniques and textures of ceramic—a medium she has worked in for decades—with the scale and materiality of bronze, and in doing so, she explores their respective connotations of feminine and masculine, of domestic and public. Here, the figure’s skirt references both the vernacular architecture of tropical Africa and the use of raffia in ceremonial skirts. Its dome-like form additionally recalls the colonial legacies present in art of the African Diaspora, including the 1931 Paris Colonial Exposition, which established the hut as an iconography of the colonies, as well as the 1940s restaurant Mammy’s Cupboard in Natchez, Mississippi, which requires visitors to enter a woman’s skirt to eat. As a result, this form carries with it the multifaceted potentials of obscuration, intrusion, community, and shelter.

NEW ACQUISITIONS

European Art

Giuseppe Viner created The Sun for his own home, and it is the only known example of the Italian painter’s experimentation with both painted furniture and Divisionism. An outgrowth of Pointillism, Divisionism refers more broadly to the technique of separating pure color into distinct strokes or touches. In France, Divisionism was deployed to replicate how we optically experience the natural world, but Italian Divisionists married the technique with Symbolist subjects and their own religious artistic traditions. In this extraordinary one-of-a-kind work, the symmetrical and harmonious composition alludes to divine perfection, while the format of the triptych references medieval and Renaissance Christian altarpieces.

The Sun, 1902. Giuseppe Viner. Oil on board, oak, and silvered copper. Dallas Museum of Art, General Acquisitions Fund, Museum PM League Fund, Museum League Fund, and Mrs. Herbert Marcus Fund, 2023.27.

Postwar and Contemporary Art

Shigeko Kubota, a pioneer in video art, innovated video sculptures in the 1970s and early 1980s. Video Haiku features a slowly swaying monitor suspended over a concave mirror. The monitor plays a live feed from a state-of-the-art CCTV camera capturing visitors moving around the work, yet the inverted video shifts attention away from consuming the image on-screen to the radical possibilities of time, space, and memory offered by the video medium. Video Haiku expands the historic depth of the DMA's time-based media collection, as well as demonstrates the crucial role of female artists in establishing this emergent art form.

Asian Art

Monkeys, found throughout the mountainous and wooded areas of Japan, became a favorite subject of many later Japanese artists. Considered protective deities in the Shinto religion, monkeys were first depicted in Japanese narrative scroll paintings in the 12th century. In this finely painted screen, the monkeys display humanlike qualities, especially curiosity. There is little information known about the artist, aside from having been recognized as a painter during the Meiji period and having graduated from the Kyoto Prefectural School for the Blind and Deaf. The screen is signed "Asei Keido"; the character “A" means mute or speech impairment.

Sergio Romo Helpdesk Support Technician

How long in your role: 5 months

02. CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH: Music, specifically hardcore and country—two genres that are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but I don’t mind; it’s fun switching between the two. Also, mushroom foraging—going hiking to try and find and identify wild mushrooms in the area is so much fun!

01. MY ROLE AT THE MUSEUM, AT A GLANCE: I mostly work off-site to increase cultural opportunities in areas of the Metroplex where access is limited.

My audience ranges from school-age children all the way to senior citizens.

02. CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH: And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow , which is Weyes Blood’s newest album. I’m going to see her in concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre later this fall. Also, revisiting artists from my favorite past exhibits, like Jim Hodges.

03. MY FAVORITE ASPECT OF MY JOB: Is the feeling of accomplishment when someone from the audience tells me how excited they are to visit the Museum soon, because they want to see in-person the artwork we discussed and saw a photo of, or they have never been to the Museum before.

04. WHEN I AM NOT WORKING AT THE DMA, YOU WILL FIND ME DOING: Going to music festivals or visiting National Parks. Last November I purchased the annual pass at Big Bend. Locally, I’ll be walking my 10-year-old dog and visiting different coffee shops.
