From the Director This fall, the McNay celebrates the power of the visual arts to enlighten and transform communities in San Antonio and across the globe. Chuck Ramirez: All This and Heaven Too captures the Alamo City’s rich history and heritage through portraits of everyday objects: produce, purses, and piñatas. His poignant photographs speak to local beauty, identity, even mortality. In San Antonio, Chuck helped friends and fans make sense of our city and find their very special place within it. Chuck was not alone. Art’s ability to engender empathy—the power to see, feel, and better understand the world around us through an artist’s creative expression—is also the focus of two global exhibitions at the McNay: Across Borders: Crosscurrents in American Art and Transnational: Migration, Memory, Home. Thanks to a remarkable roster of international modern and contemporary masters, we experience Elizabeth Catlett’s Mexico City; José Clemente Orozco’s Harlem; and Antonio Martorell’s New York City and Ponce, Puerto Rico. And thanks to the exhibition Behind the Screen: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, we are immersed in Burton’s brilliant imagination. These visionaries defined artistic excellence in their communities—many continue to define it there today—but artists have been effecting change for centuries, as seen in our graphic arts presentation Art & Activism: Political Prints by Goya, Orozco, and Shahn. This season, the McNay also welcomes three new members to the Museum’s leadership team: Dianna Hopkins, Head of Development; Terry McDevitt, Head of Communications and Marketing; and Heather Ryniker, Head of Finance. Together with our entire dedicated staff and devoted Trustees, we will continue making sense of this modern, hyperkinetic, global society through the lens of the world’s great masters.

At the time of his death in 2010 in a bicycling accident, the art of San Antonio’s Chuck Ramirez was making an international impact. After years of working in commercial design for the brands of the H-E-B supermarket company, Ramirez established an artistic practice that allowed him to focus on and develop many series of photographs on various themes. Most of these photographs present familiar, everyday objects—hospital flower arrangements, open women’s purses, jam-packed trash bags—clearly captured in great detail against a white void. Some of these objects are stand-ins that serve as portraits of those in Ramirez’s wide circle of social and professional friends and acquaintances; others are symbols for consumption, transience, and mortality. Regardless of subject, Ramirez’s images are devoid of human inhabitants, yet filled with a deep and palpable humanity. This exhibition is the first to present a comprehensive view of Chuck Ramirez’s art. The McNay’s survey includes not only the crisp photographs of single objects on white backgrounds for which Ramirez is particularly well known, but also his early, more personal imagery; examples of video and installation work; and

nine decorated Christmas trees created for his friend and fellow artist Linda Pace. Of particular significance is the re-creation of Ramirez’s 2002 Artpace residency exhibition, Bean & Cheese—a precise replication of the size of Artpace’s gallery, with the works installed just as they appeared there 15 years ago. It reimagines a milestone in the artist’s development, and offers new generations of viewers insight into Ramirez’s more youthful efforts. This exhibition is organized by the McNay Art Museum. Lead funding for Chuck Ramirez: All This and Heaven Too is most generously given by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992; The Brown Foundation, Inc.; John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation; National Endowment for the Arts; Rick Liberto; Linda Pace Foundation; Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation; Capital Group Companies Charitable Foundation; and Carolyn and Allan Paterson.

Art & Activism

Across Borders

Political Prints by Goya, Orozco, and Shahn

This exhibition highlighting the work of some of the most significant activist printmakers features the epitome of socially aware printmaking: a selection from Francisco Goya’s series Los desastres de la Guerra (Disasters of War) (1810–1820). Goya had witnessed Napoleon’s campaign to conquer the Iberian Peninsula; although he begins by honoring the heroism of the Spanish, by the end he condemns everyone, Spanish and French, for the ravages they inflicted on the people. Disasters of War had a profound impact on 19th-century French protest prints such as Honoré Daumier’s Rue Transnonain, le 15 Avril 1834 (1834), a grisly image depicting an innocent family slaughtered by government forces attempting to quell a revolt. The image caused such a public outcry that the stone used to print it was confiscated, and all prints that could be found were destroyed. The exhibition also includes images of the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution by José Clemente Orozco. Like Goya’s, Orozco’s lithographed images of war depict not heroism but sadness and condemnation, and are among the most beautifully drawn of all Mexican modernist prints. In the 20th century, few printmakers were as socially and politically aware as Ben Shahn. His This Is Nazi Brutality (1942) helped to call the world’s attention to the Nazis’ massacre of a small Czech village—an atrocity so shocking that it galvanized the Allies against Germany. It is a great example of the power of printmaking. This exhibition is organized by the McNay Art Museum. The Elizabeth Huth Coates Exhibition Endowment and the Arthur and Jane Stieren Fund for Exhibitions are generously funding this exhibition. José Clemente Orozco, Women (detail),1935. Lithograph.

Crosscurrents in American Art

A phrase often heard throughout Latin America is Somos todos Americanos: “We are all Americans.” It points to the fact that whether we are citizens of the United States, Mexico, or Brazil, we all live on the American continents. This fact gained great importance in the art world of Mexico in the first few decades after the Mexican Revolution, which ended in 1920. Artists came from far and wide to see the miracle that was Mexico’s muralist movement, and some artists visiting from the U.S. stayed. The work of African-American artist Elizabeth Catlett (1915–2012) epitomizes the era of these expatriate artists. Born in the Washington, D.C., area, Catlett traveled to Mexico in the 1940s and discovered a world in which the color of her skin mattered less than it did back home. She eventually married a Mexican artist, Francisco Mora, had three sons, and became a naturalized Mexican citizen. Catlett and her art belong to both Mexico and the U.S., and make a great case for cultural transparency and openness across borders. This exhibition highlights common trends in the arts of Mexico and the U.S., from the social realism of Marion Greenwood and José Clemente Orozco, through the international modernism of Alice Mason and Gunther Gerszo, to the multifaceted world of contemporary art, in which successful artists such as photographer Graciela Iturbide are able to work and exhibit all over the world. This is the public’s first opportunity to discover art that is new to the McNay, including Catlett’s iconic linocut depicting an African-American sharecropper, and Gerszo’s monumental aquatint Na-Bolom (1993). This exhibition is organized by the McNay Art Museum. Lead funding is most generously given by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Exhibition Endowment and the Arthur and Jane Stieren Fund for Exhibitions.

Behind the Screen

Stage Frights

Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas

“Everybody scream!” Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, and other character puppets and set pieces from The Nightmare Before Christmas, return to the McNay galleries in an immersive new installation of works from the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts. The product of Tim Burton’s B-movie–steeped imagination, this 1993 tour de force of stop-motion animation has been a cult favorite for three generations. Like Burton, who originally sketched the film when he was an alienated teenager living in the shadow of Disney Studios, many Museum visitors will identify with the lanky antihero. Echoing Burton’s own creative impulse, Jack attempts to make his gloomy, gothic-towered world brighter; the result is a mash-up of holidays, complete with tombstones and tinsel. The exhibition provides a rare opportunity to discover how camera crews shot 24 stills for each second of film. Full of human warmth, verbal and visual wit, and technical virtuosity, Behind the Screen should win new fans for Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and for the McNay’s theatre arts collection.

Madness, Monsters, Mayhem

As days grow shorter, Stage Frights explores what happens when the house goes dark. From its origins in sacred ritual, theatre has always expressed the supernatural. Gods have withdrawn from the stage, but magic and madness, ghosts and ghouls remain. We continue to look to performance to explore the demons and dreams that torment and inspire us, as individuals and societies. Stage Frights features scene and costume designs for plays, operas, and ballets by writers and composers— from Shakespeare to Lorca to Anne Rice’s adaptations; from Wagner to Stravinsky to Scott Joplin. Drawing on diverse folklore traditions and popular-culture forms, scene and costume designs entice both adults and children to explore the dark side of their imaginations and the world. This exhibition is organized by the McNay Art Museum and is a program of the Tobin Theatre Arts Fund. Georges Wakhévitch, Scene design for El Amor Brujo (Bewitched Love), ca. 1954.

Rashaad Newsome KNOT

August 29 | December 31, 2017

Transnational

Migration, Memory, Home Combining baroque grandeur, hip-hop swagger, and black and LGBTQ subcultures, Rashaad Newsome creates evocative works of art that highlight fantasy, capitalist obsessions, and systemic oppressions. The opulence of fashion magazines and society culture is subverted through the vocabulary of voguing, the New York City ballroom scene, and New Orleans bounce music. Newsome applies a keen awareness of art-historical and alternative cultural sources to offer pointed commentaries on contemporary culture and identity politics. On the McNay’s AT&T Lobby wall, the artist presents KNOT, which comprises his hypnotic video KNOT (2014) floating over his striking Jungle Gardenia– print wallpaper.

Works from the McNay’s collection and on loan that explore themes of immigration, memory, and the meaning of home complement La Playa Negra I (Tar Beach I), a woodcut print by Antonio Martorell. Martorell uses imagery that relates to his childhood memories of living in Puerto Rico and hearing stories about or reading correspondence between his family there, and those who had immigrated to New York. The exhibition of this print throughout the fall marks a partnership between the McNay and the Puerto Rican Heritage Society of San Antonio.

The Elizabeth Huth Coates Exhibition Endowment and the Arthur and Jane Stieren Fund for Exhibitions are generously funding this exhibition.

Collection Focus

Pablo Picasso’s Woman with a Plumed Hat Travels to Spain

One of Marion Koogler McNay’s original bequests, Pablo Picasso’s Woman with a Plumed Hat (1901) is traveling to Madrid, Spain, where it will be part of the exhibition Picasso/Lautrec, on view from October 17, 2017 through January 21, 2018. The exhibition represents the first comparative study of the work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) and Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). Although the two painters never met, exhibition curators

Francisco Calvo Serraller and Paloma Alarcó argue that, through Lautrec’s work, Picasso discovered the multifaceted nature of modern society, which influenced his own understanding of art and led to a new creative vision. Picasso’s Woman with a Plumed Hat will be back on view at the McNay in the spring of 2018. Pablo Picasso, Woman with a Plumed Hat (detail), 1901. Oil on canvas.

All-in for Education

" [the Museum] is as much in the business of education as of the visual arts."

—RICH ASTE, DIRECTOR

As is too often the case with educators, those intrepid and resourceful folks whose work is immeasurably important for our society and our institutions, we probably don’t spend enough time singing the praises of the McNay’s Education Department. So let’s take a moment to sing. The Education Department has long been a cornerstone of the Museum’s success, and of its value to the San Antonio community at large. But ever since Richard Aste took the reins as Director nearly a year ago, the department has become the true center of the execution of the McNay’s mission and vision. Aste, who believes that the Museum “is as much in the business of education as of the visual arts,” also feels that the Education

Department “must have a voice in all top-level discussions and decisions at the Museum.” From play-centric art activities for toddlers to school tours for all grade levels, from workshops for area educators to lectures and presentations by visiting experts and artists, from casual tours of the permanent collection to in-depth explorations of temporary exhibits, and so much more: our outstanding education team continually finds ways to get more—and more diverse— groups into the Museum and, once they’re here, to engage and enrapture them.

old-fashioned personal invitation. While out in the community, as they often are—at schools, galleries, lectures, etc.—education team members are now encouraged to hand out as many free Museum passes as they see fit. “That invitation is powerful,” says Carey—it shows that we really want that person, that family, in our space. It goes a long way toward proving that the McNay really is for everyone—no exceptions. With that, the education team plays an integral part in reinvigorating the Museum’s quest to connect art to real people’s real lives, and to make all Museum exhibitions and events increasingly relevant to the community the McNay is so fortunate to serve. So far in the 2016–2017 season, Education Department events have hosted a staggering 95,941 visitors (including some 16,000 students on school tours), many of whom are not (yet!) Members. A few months ago, the department’s Teen Night, spearheaded this year by staffer and artist Jenelle Esparza, drew 900 high school students—nearly twice as many as attended last year’s event.

Head of Education Kate Carey, whose department includes five full-time staff members, 91 active docents, and 75 emeritus docents, and 30 Teen Art Guides, says that Aste’s focus on the importance of the Education Department has included a priority of “getting out into the community more.” She reports that this inclusiveness has already begun to pay off: “We always have good attendance [at educational events],” she says, but now that attendance is beginning to more truly “represent the whole demographic of San Antonio.”

All in all, the McNay is in a season of joyful growth. While there is still hard work to be done to create the McNay Art Museum of the future envisioned by Richard Aste, we can rest assured that the Education Department will continue to play an important role in fostering a safe space in which all of San Antonio can engage with world-class, locally relevant art and find respite, inspiration, even transformation. Major support of the McNay’s educational programs is provided by the Semmes Foundation, Inc., the Valero Energy Foundation, the Mays Family Foundation, and the F.B. Doane Foundation. Additional funding is provided by the Valero Benefit for Children, Rackspace, the Jack H. and William M. Light Charitable Trust, the Faye L. and William L. Cowden Charitable Foundation, and the Director’s Circle.

One of the seemingly simple yet hugely effective strategies that the education team has begun to employ much more often is the

A Safe, Bully-free Zone! This fall, McNay staff and docents proudly wear their new “no bullying” enamel pins, to show our commitment to community impact. Visitors 19 and under receive as their admission ticket a “no bullying” sticker, to remind all that the McNay is a safe place for the discovery and enjoyment of the visual arts. The enamel pins are sold in the Museum store for $9 for McNay Members and $10 for nonmembers. With 10% of the proceeds from these sales we proudly support the David’s Legacy Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in

honor of 16-year-old David Molak, of San Antonio, Texas, who tragically took his own life in January 2016 after extensive cyber-assisted bullying. The David’s Legacy Foundation is dedicated to ending cyber-assisted bullying by educating communities about the harmful effects of cyber abuse, providing support for bullying victims, supporting legislation that prohibits the cyberbullying of minors, and promoting kindness, character, and empathy among today’s youth through interactive programs.
