Opening September 6 and on view through November 29, 2009, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, will showcase a selection of key paintings by Joaquín Torres-García, one of the most influential Latin American artists and theorists of the first half of the 20th century. Organized by Mari Carmen Ramírez, the Wortham Foundation curator of Latin American art at the MFAH, Joaquín Torres-García: Paintings in Houston Collections features a dozen paintings all culled from major Houston collections. The exhibition complements Joaquín Torres-García: Constructing Abstraction with Wood, an exhibition of over 80 wooden constructions also curated by Ramírez, which will open on September 25 at the Menil Collection and is an MFAH/Menil collaboration. These two exhibitions will be the first to present Torres-García’s work in the United States in over forty years. As such, they provide a unique opportunity to acquaint Houston audiences with the work of this major exponent of the international avant-garde. To celebrate this special moment there will be a series of joint events and programs organized around both exhibitions.

A French town steeped in snow, cavalrymen playing a game of cards in a tavern and a young woman garbed in brilliant blue staring at me as though she knew me — all are images swirling in my head as I leave Turner to Cézanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection. The exhibition, which is currently at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, features 47 paintings from the romanticism, impressionism and post-impressionism eras. In addition to Turner and Cézanne, other prominent nineteenth century artists also are represented. The paintings are from the collection of Gwendoline (1882-1951) and Margaret (1884-1963) Davies, the granddaughters of Welsh coal and railway baron David Davies.

I recently visited the Alan Day Contemporary in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The gallery is located a block away from Santa Fe Plaza. The space is rather small and the large works are clustered together, which can be a little distracting. The owner, Alan Day, is friendly and engaging. I enjoyed chatting with Mr. Day about the artists and their works.
