September 20, 2007
Friday, October 5, 2007 will mark the opening of Reflections: Historic and Contemporary Work by the Martinez and Gonzales Families, an exhibition of pottery, paintings and works on paper tracing the influence of the American Indian artists Maria and Julian Martinez and Louis Gonzales (Wo-Peen) on their descendents. Works by five generations will be shown together in this, the first exhibition that pairs paintings with pottery and develops as a whole the artistic legacy of these great families.
In addition to works from the museum’s permanent collection, many pieces in the exhibition have been loaned from various museums around the state and private collectors across the nation. Many of these works have not been exhibited publicly prior to this exhibition. Jane Aebersold, FJJMA Curator of Ceramics and OU School of Art Ceramics Professor, serves as curator.
An opening reception will be held on Thursday, October 4, 2007 from 7-9 pm in the Sandy Bell gallery of the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. The artists Barbara, Robert and Cavan Gonzales will be present. The public is invited to meet Ghislain d'Humières, the museum's new Wylodean and Bill Saxon Director and celebrate the opening of the exhibitions Out of Oklahoma: Contemporary Artists from Ruscha to Andoe and Reflections: Historic and Contemporary Works by the Martinez and Gonzales Families during this Museum Association-sponsored event. In addition to live music and refreshments, the evening will feature valuable door prize drawings for all 2008 Museum Association members who attend. Admission to this event is free.
The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art is located at 555 Elm Avenue (Southeast corner of Boyd Street and Elm Avenue) in Norman, Oklahoma. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday 10:00 am to 5 pm; Thursdays, 10:00 am to 9:00 pm, Sundays from 1 to 5 pm. Closed Mondays.
