Angelo State University Art Faculty Biennial Exhibition (September 28 - October 30, 2024)
The Angelo State University Art Faculty Biennial Exhibition features the work of the talented faculty members of Angelo State University’s Art Department. Each one of these dedicated instructors is an active and accomplished artist. This dynamic and varied exhibit features new works by Katherine Bunker (Kat Truth), Edwin Cuenco, Randy Hall, Ben Sum, Hayun Surl, John Vinklarek, and Leila Yarian, in a broad range of media including painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking, sculpture, graphic design, video, and installation.
In Conversation: Will Wilson (July 12- September 15, 2024)
The exhibit features the work of contemporary Navajo (Diné) photographer Will Wilson, together in a dialogue with the work of Edward Curtis, best known for his portfolios of romanticized photos published as The North American Indian (1907-1930). Wilson’s Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX) project, on the other hand, is dedicated to creating a contemporary vision of Native North America. Wilson employs a wet-plate collodion photographic technique, based on the nineteenth-century method, but he pushes the CIPX project into the contemporary with the inclusion of “Talking Tintypes,” which use augmented reality (AR) technology to bring photographs to life. For Wilson, CIPX is a way to create new conversations and emphasize exchange over problematic documentation.
In Conversation: Will Wilson is organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
Generous support provided by Art Bridges

Microscape: A Studio Art Quilt Associates Global Exhibition (January 19 – March 31, 2024)
Our known world stretches far beyond what we can see with the unaided eye. Microscopes, magnifying glasses, and virtual imaging techniques reveal a world of great beauty and complexity. That world contains the smallest particles, tiniest organisms, smallest landscape, or natural details and provides us with an abundance of artistic inspiration. The art quilts in the exhibit explore a corner of the world at high magnification, capturing tiny wonders at the microscopic level, or by zooming in on a larger object to show its smallest details.
N.C. Wyeth and the Golden Age of American Illustration (January 19 – March 31, 2024)
This intimate selection of works from the collection of Joel and Suzanne Sugg features seldom-seen paintings by N.C. Wyeth (1882 - 1945), the patriarch of the Wyeth dynasty of painters. The exhibit also includes works by his contemporary, Frank Schoonover (1877 – 1972), and their teacher, Howard Pyle (1853 – 1911). The art in the exhibit is accompanied by the published works their paintings were created to illustrate. Best known for their iconic illustrations of adventure novels, Wyeth and Schoonover (and Pyle before them) helped to define the familiar imagery associated with pirates, Robin Hood, and other characters of popular literature.
This exhibit also includes a loan from the Diamond M Collection at the Museum of Texas Tech University.
Luster: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Painting
Produced by David J. Wagner, LLC, David J. Wagner Ph.D., Curator/Tour Director (October 5, 2023 - February 14, 2024)
Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, cars and motorcycles have not only been ubiquitous on the nation’s streets and highways, but also in film, top forty hits, and in painting. With the emergence of photo-realism in the 1960’s, motor vehicles assumed a special place of distinction as subject matter in the iconography of American art.

The Peacemakers: Works by Felice House and Dana Younger (July 20 – October 8, 2023)
The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts presents College Station-based husband and wife duo, sculptor Dana Younger and painter Felice House, celebrating the Western landscape and reimagining the Western narrative in their thought-provoking artwork.
“For more than a century the West has occupied a special place in the imagination of Americans, with perhaps only one foot in reality,” the artists write. “By subverting expectations, House and Younger are questioning a genre, not only in its historical context, but as a contemporary fantasy with roots so deep in American culture that they are quite possibly inexorable.”
Felice House is a figurative painter who strives, through her portrayals of women, to provide a counterpoint to the passive female representations found in art historical tradition. She projects contemporary women into iconic roles formerly played by western movie icons such as John Wayne, James Dean and Gary Cooper. By placing women in these roles, she points a finger at the limited access of women to power in culture. House is an Associate Professor in the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts at Texas A&M.
Dana Younger uses a wide variety of sculptural mediums to call attention to cultural heritage that warrants reexamination. His work juxtaposes romanticized Western conventions with real people and damage associated with westward expansion. Humor, beauty, and biting commentary combine in his work and invite the viewer to take another look.
Celebrating San Angelo's Own Plein Air Artists (June 10 - July 9, 2023)

Spanish Colonial Treasures
(December 9, 2022 - February 5, 2023) A large cross-section of SAMFA’s Spanish Colonial and Latin American collection, including the newest gifts from some exceptional private collections. These works were created between 1600 and 1900, from the time of Spanish rule to after Mexican independence. Some of the works were created by academically trained masters schooled in European traditions, and others by humble self-taught artisans. Some of the objects adorned magnificent monasteries and churches, and others were created for devotional use in private homes. All of the art in SAMFA’s Spanish Colonial and Latin American collection represents the unique character and importance of the Catholic faith in Latin America, and the deep devotion of its followers. These works have made their home here in San Angelo thanks to the generosity of six major donors: Fred Pottinger, The Art and Eva Camuñez Tucker Foundation, Hamp and Bonnie Beesley, Richard Parkman, Thomas Duckworth, and Charlotte and Stephanie March, in memory of their mother, Laura Derby.
A Passion for Teaching: Umlauf and His Influence
(December 9, 2022 - February 5, 2023) Works by legendary Texas artist Charles Umlauf (1911 – 1994) from the Dale Huggins-Jonathon Todd Collection, side-by-side with works by two of his most brilliant University of Texas students, Maurice Schmidt (b. 1936) and Margaret Stites (1910 – 2003). Charles Umlauf taught at the University of Texas, Austin, from 1941 to 1981. During his long career, he inspired countless students, some of whom, such as Farrah Fawcett, went on to other careers, and others who became world-famous sculptors, such as Luis Jiménez and Bob “Daddy-O” Wade. Alongside the exceptional Huggins-Todd collection of Umlauf’s works, this exhibit highlights two of Umlauf’s students who aren’t internationally known, because they chose to focus their careers on inspiring students in the way Umlauf inspired them. Margaret Stites and Maurice Schmidt helped establish the art programs at small rural colleges in Texas, Stites at Angelo State University and Schmidt at Texas A&M, Kingsville. Their extraordinary art has not often been seen outside of their communities.

Banjara Textiles and Jewelry from the Jerez Collection
(July 14 - September 11, 2022) The Jerez Collection of textiles and jewelry, handcrafted by the Banjara peoples of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, was lovingly assembled over the years by Sherry McDonald Stewart, Daphne S. Nallie, and Daisy S. Gill. A small but stunning selection from the collection is on display in this exhibit. “Banjara” is an umbrella term used by outsiders to describe multiple formerly-nomadic peoples living throughout India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, who are descended from a single group but now vary in language, in cultural norms, and in name, depending on where they live. There are an estimated 5.6 million Banjaras in India. The Romani of Europe also are believed to be descended from Banjara ancestors.

“Majesty and Tenderness: The Art of Maurice Schmidt” is a rare glimpse into the genius of a very unusual Texas artist who finds the majesty of beauty in everything. His artistic vision of over seventy prolific years, peers through a unique lens of Judaism, claiming that over decades of study, he has become “one with the Torah." As an articulate academician, Maurice Schmidt candidly describes how his spiritual interpretations become a congruent mastery of beautiful craftsmanship and pure visceral expression that plays out seamlessly through his powerfully dynamic portrayals of daily life, agricultural landscapes and religious subjects.

Time Stands Still: Photos of Bus Stops from Michael Kruscha
(September 19 - December 1, 2019) We encounter them en route; on a journey, on the wayside, along a street that takes us to some other place, somewhere, and nowhere, into nothingness. They can be found all over the world, are familiar to us and are nonetheless alien, since they appear in a wide variety of forms in the most remote regions, off the beaten track and wonderful: Bus Stops—often unexpected and unprepossessing, or imposing, quirky. Michael Kruscha photographed bus stops while traveling over several years, in many countries, on many continents, around the world. His series comprises images from Eastern Europe, Kazakhstan and Armenia, the Arabian Peninsula and the Near East, northern and southern Africa, South America, and Asia.

The act of drawing a stranger becomes a transformative experience as cultural barriers dissolve and a unique intimacy begins. Her favorite ice-breaking question and to add humor is Where do you go dancing?

(July 18, 2019 – September 8, 2019) This exhibit commemorates the first time in human history that we physically reached beyond our own planet and set foot on another world. That world was the moon, the space voyage was Apollo 11, and the first human to set foot there was Neil Armstrong of the United States. We always look to the future as something ahead of us, but technological advances have been so rapid we may have exceeded our ability to comprehend what their implications are. We will need to consider carefully the future ahead of us, and work toward the best possible outcomes. There could be no more appropriate way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
