FRED JONES Jr. MUSEUM UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA, NORMAN ALLAN HOUSER DRAWINGS: THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION
The cornerstone exhibition from which has been built the Oklahoma Museums Association 2014 celebration.
In spring 2014 the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma will celebrate the centennial of Allan Houser, the distinguished Chiricahua Apache artist, with a special exhibition featuring one hundred of his inimitable drawings.  Ninety-nine percent of the drawings are being lent to the museum by the estate of the artist in Santa Fe and the vast majority of them have never been exhibited or published before. The subjects of the drawings are wide ranging: dancers and musicians; mounted hunters and warriors; Southwestern landscapes; portraits; and genres scenes of Native life. The exhibition, organized by guest curator W. Jackson Rushing III, emphasizes the creative process, connoisseurship, and aesthetic experience. Houser's work, including paintin  gs, sculptures, and drawings for book illustrations, embodied history and ethnicity, even as it transcended such categories to speak with clarity, subtlety, and power to audiences around the world. Because of the intimacy and accessibility of the drawings, the exhibition will offer a fresh perspective on this renowned American Master.
