DIRECTOR’S LETTER
Dear Members,
I am thrilled to connect with you at such an exciting time for our Museum. Since the last edition of Artifact s, the DMA has continued to thrive with a rich tapestry of exhibitions and community engagement initiatives, while celebrating milestones that are preparing us for an even brighter future. With that in mind, I must begin by offering my gratitude for your support during the 2024 City of Dallas bond election, resulting in $75.2 million for the arts, including $20 million for the DMA. This investment will go a long way as we continue our work to reimagine our facility and serve our community for decades to come.
In recent months, the DMA has buzzed with activity—from Summer Art Camps, FREE First Sundays, and our annual Pride Late Night—and presented captivating exhibitions, such as The Impressionist Revolution from Monet to Matisse and When You See Me: Visibility in Contemporary Art/History. It has been a joy to witness our visitors marvel at these stunning displays, reaffirming the profound ability of art to unite and inspire. Join us to experience these incredible shows if you haven’t already, and be sure to make plans to see Frida: Beyond the Myth, which opened on August 18. As a co-curator of the show, I personally cannot wait to introduce you to a side of Frida Kahlo you have never seen before.
... gratitude for your support during the 2024 City of Dallas bond election, resulting in $75.2M for the arts, including $20M for the DMA.
Saving our most delicious update for last, I am delighted to share that the DMA Cafe has been revitalized with a new culinary partner, G Texas Catering. As part of this exciting transition, we’ve opened Al Fresco, our new outdoor dining patio on Eagle Family Plaza. Be sure to stop by and experience our new chef and a new vibe curated to elevate your DMA visit. We look forward to sharing more ways to enjoy the Museum in the months ahead, and, as always, we appreciate your continued support as our cherished members.

Dr. Agustín Arteaga
The Eugene McDermott Director
Sue Canterbury
The Pauline Gill Sullivan Curator of American Art
In August the DMA opened Frida: Beyond the Myth. Composed of 60 works across media— paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs—the exhibition explores the life of one of the 20th century’s most well-documented artists, one who continues to elude our understanding of her as an individual.
We asked the co-curators of the exhibition, Dr. Agustín Arteaga, The Eugene McDermott Director of the Dallas Museum of Art, and Sue Canterbury, the DMA’s Pauline Gill Sullivan Curator of American Art, for their insights into this fascinating exhibition and the artist herself.

EXHIBITION SPOTLIGHT
How is this exhibition unique to Dallas?
SC: While Frida Kahlo has always been a subject of fascination for our audiences, this exhibition reveals Kahlo herself, the person who lurks behind the persona she created for public consumption. The exterior individual, while epitomizing her Tehuana uniqueness and individual strength, served as a protective device, deflecting attention away from her vulnerabilities. The works we have brought together—her own and the depictions of her by others—bring her humanity and vulnerabilities to the fore.
What inspired this fresh approach to Frida Kahlo?
AA: One of many takeaways from our presentation of Mexico 1900–1950 in 2016 was the undeniable evidence of how popular Frida Kahlo is with our audiences in North Texas. A direct result has been our effort to keep on view an exemplary work by her at all times, if possible. A recent loan of Kahlo’s powerful Self-Portrait with Loose Hair for display in the DMA’s permanent collection galleries triggered for us a realization that Frida, the individual, is rarely explored, due to her effective use of coded imagery. It’s a theme we thought worthy of exploration.
If visitors take away one thing about Kahlo, what would that be?
AA: I often think that Kahlo’s compositions can be misleading. Bright colors, luscious fruits, cute animals, and interesting juxtapositions disguise the pain and insecurities of the complex individual who created them. Similarly, the strength projected in her self-portraits functioned to shield her from perceptions of her emotional neediness and from others’ pity for her physical deformities. Despite this baggage, or perhaps because of it, she and her work reached an iconic status that commands attention 70 years after her death.
What are some of your must-see works in the exhibition?
SC: I find her still lifes particularly engaging as they are actually cryptic self-portraits. I like decoding iconography, so the subtle clues she embeds are an irresistible challenge. Another aspect of her late still lifes is that they are best viewed from an angle that duplicates that at which she painted them—lying back in her bed with the canvas tilted away from her. For instance, Naturaleza Viva (1952), when viewed straight ahead on the wall, is flat in appearance. When viewed from below, it acquires more dimension and depth, visually.

EXHIBITION SPOTLIGHT
On view September 29, 2024 through February 9, 2025
Cecily Brown has revitalized the medium of painting during her three-decade career. When she burst onto the New York art scene in the mid-1990s, painting had been overshadowed by various conceptual objectand installation-based practices that left little room for the lush exploration of the properties of paint that has defined Brown’s contribution to the field. Moreover, as a woman artist negotiating the traditionally male-dominated art world, Brown brings a unique vantage point, made all the more poignant by her interest in art history and the dominant tropes of the postRenaissance Western tradition. Her work is beautifully contextualized within the DMA’s rich holdings in this area, and you can see examples of the art historical references that Brown makes in our European Art galleries on Level 2. We look forward to welcoming you to the exhibition to experience these connections in action.

Bathers and Nymphs
Bathers and nymphs are some of the many gendered tropes Brown explores in her work, like those seen here in an early 18th-century example from the Rosenberg collection. Nymphs appeared in Greek mythology as natural deities, often related to trees and springs, and were subsequently depicted in European visual culture as wild, untamed, and sexually desirable.
Still Lifes
Gardens
In the early 2000s, Brown revisited Rococo-style painting that reflects the 18th-century taste for leisure scenes, particularly those including a sense of voyeuristic looking. In paintings from the period, there is often flirtation between the male and female figures, as seen in this fête champêtre, or garden party.
The Shipwreck
In 2016 Brown became interested in shipwrecks, which inspired her to look at Théodore Géricault’s The Raft of the Medusa (1818–1819). The drama inherent in Géricault’s work, which shows the aftermath of the wreck of the French ship Medusa off the coast of West Africa in 1816, can be gleaned in this painting of the Forfarshire wreck. Such source material generated a wide range of rich subject matter in Brown’s subsequent work, allowing the artist to critique the power dynamics involved in current geopolitical issues, such as the ongoing migrant crisis in the Mediterranean.
In the past few years, Brown has begun to revisit Dutch and Flemish still-life paintings. While the still lifes are free of human figures, the objects within them act as symbols for the viewer to reflect on their own humanity. A common subgenre of the still life is that of the memento mori—the moralistic reminder that life is temporary. This is illustrated through the inclusion of overripe fruits that will soon decay, or images of candles whose flames are destined to flicker out. Others, as in this example from our collection, depict the wealth of the subjects through their bountiful tables.
EDUCATION & PROGRAMMING
Family Festival
Saturday, November 2
11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
The fall 2024 Family Festival marks five years since the DMA launched this mash-up of children’s carnival, local art fair, and drop-in art studio. Since then, we’ve served over 17,000 visitors and worked with more than 60 local artists. A goal of this annual event is to bridge the distance between working artists and young children, creating opportunities for kids to meet, talk with, and work alongside artists in our community. A highlight every year is the collaborative artwork visitors create during the festival.
The festival is also an opportunity to highlight young artists in our community, whether it’s a DISD middle school mariachi band performance, a dance display by a youth ballet folklorico group, or a teen artist leading a workshop. We give young people a platform, and they never cease to amaze with their talent. Join us for this year’s Family Festival and make memories, art, and fun together!
Frida Late Night
Friday, November 15
5:00–11:00 p.m.
Join us for a fun evening of tours, music, art making, special food and drinks inspired by the artist’s life, and much more as we celebrate the closing weekend of our popular exhibition Frida: Beyond the Myth, which brings together 60 works by Frida Kahlo and her contemporaries to explore the life of one of the most iconic 20thcentury artists. We’ll celebrate all things Frida and do a deep dive into some of the myths revealed in this fascinating exhibition. Bonus points for those wearing their most colorful Frida-inspired fashion!
