Manuel Felguerez Mexican, born 1928 Entre dos almas (Between Two Souls), 1992 Oil on canvas Purchased with funds provided by the Ewing Halsell Foundation Photo Credit: Alice Lowe for the Texas Art Crawl. “Every plane contains potentially infinite volumes. Opt for one, and create a relief; color will also assume dimension. Then take the volume and develop it in space, demonstrate that the concept painting-relief-sculpture is obsolete, exhausted,that form-color is one within relative spaces”…….Manuel Felguerez Manuel Felguerez was born in 1928 in Zacatecas, Mexico. He moved to Mexico City to study sculpture at the Academia de San Carlos and La Esmeralda School of Art. He began exhibiting in the early 1950’s in Paris and Mexico City and continues to exhibit worldwide today. Felguerez has taught for many years at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and was also a visiting professor at Cornell University. In 1976, he was Visiting Researcher at Harvard University, where he collaborated with other scholars on the use of computers in design. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim grant. Entre dos almas is typical of many of Felguerez’s paintings from the early 1990’s in which he explores composition in two dimensions. His paintings include lyrical explorations of curved organic forms juxtaposed with geometric elements. The cool metallic gray background of this work is reminiscent of the high technology and computer elements which influenced Felguerez’s work in the late 1970’s. Felguerez’s paintings are closely related to many of his sculptural reliefs.

Phoenician Sarcophagus of a Youth 5th - 4th century B.C. Parian marble Gift of Lee and Joe Jamail on memory of Marie and Joseph D. Jamail; and of Caroline Wiess Law and of the Merrin Gallery, Inc. Throughout the ancient world, the artists of rich Phoenicia were renowned for their skills. They developed this unique coffin form for the burial of nobility, using the shape of an Egyptian sarcophagus but carved with a classic Greek face to represent the deceased. The most outstanding coffins were made of marble imported from the Greek island of Paros. There are about 83 Phoenician sarcophagi known in the world today, many in fragmented condition and some with provincial carving. There are only two others in the United States, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This sarcophagus is expertly carved in the Greek style, made of Parian marble that weighs over 2,000 pounds and stands 7 feet tall. It is an outstanding sculpture and a rich blend of two of the most important artistic traditions of antiquity, Egyptian and Greek.

Julio Alpuy Uruguayan, 1919-2009 Constructivist View of Montevideo, 1957 Oil on burlap Purchased with funds from the Mary Kathryn Lynch Kurtz Fund for the Acquisition of Modern Latin American Art   Julio Alpuy was born in Tacuarembo, Uruguay. He studied at the Taller Torres-Garcia in Montevideo under its founder Joaquin Torres-Garcia, one of Latin America’s most important artists of the 20th century and the founder of Constructivism in Latin America. He became teacher-in-charge of the Taller from 1946-1951. Alpuy’s first one-man show was held in Buenos Aires in 1948. His work has been exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and many other important museums in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Alpuy died in New York in 2009.   The painting is characteristic of the School of Constructivism—well-defined grids filled with symbolic shapes that serve as metaphors of greater truths, geometric blocks of color, and emphasis of essence over representation. Here, Montevideo, Uruguay is shown vertically by using colorful rectangular blocks containing symbolic details.

Charles Julius Umlauf (1910-1994) Titled: "Mother and Child" 1962, cast stone Photo: Alice Lowe for the Texas Art Crawl. Courtesy of Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum in Austin, Texas located at 605 Robert E. Lee Road. Umlauf’s sculptures range from haunting expressionism to detailed neoclassical realism to lyrical abstraction. His use of materials is equally diverse: exotic woods, terra cotta or cast stone in his early work, rich bronzes, alabasters and luminous marbles in his prime. With equal facility, Umlauf sculpted family groupings, whimsical animals, religious and mythological figures, and sensuous nudes.

Museum archival documents revealed that the United States Polo Association made a motion to commission the artist, Frank Voss, to paint the portrait of Milburn on Jacobs and have it “presented to Mr. Milburn as a mark of the Association’s appreciation of his having acted as Captain of the International Team which won the cup….in 1921” Franklin Brooke Voss (1880-1953) – Franklin Voss was the son of William Voss, a founder of the Rockaway Hunt Club, and he grew up riding to the hounds, once saying he could “scarcely remember a time when horses ranked second either in his mind or in his daily life.” His artistic gifts, too, were apparent when he was a young boy, and he was sent to the Art Students’ League in New York City. As his talent became recognized, he was commissioned by the leading families in racing, fox hunting and polo, painting the famous Thoroughbreds including Man o’War, Seabiscuit and Whirlaway. He traveled extensively, painting across the U.S.A. and in England, and set up his easel at racetracks, stables and the open field, preferring to work with the horses in their natural element. Highly prized in private collections, his work was also published in books and magazines.
