New Mexico Author Presents New Art History Publication
Santa Fe, N.M. – June 1, 2007 – Santa Fe curator of Twentieth-Century art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe lectures in rural communities around the state.
Joseph Traugott will lecture and show slides from the Museum of Fine Arts permanent collection followed by a booksigning and reception. The 225 selected works demonstrate the extent to which Native American, Hispanic, and European-American aesthetic traditions have always been intertwined in Southwest art. The one-ness of New Mexico art is the unique, unpredictable, often contradictory unity that developed from these cultural interactions.
The Art of New Mexico: How the West Is One examines the impact of New Mexico art from the 1880’s to the present. It showcases works from the permanent collection at Santa Fe’s Museum of Fine Arts and presents work by New Mexico artists including Gustave Baumann, Georgia O’Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Andrew Dasburg, and Agnes Martin.
In July 2007, the name of the Museum of Fine Arts was changed to the New Mexico Museum of Art.
