CELEBRATING 50 YEARS: THE MEADOWS MUSEUM AT SMU meadowsmuseumdallas.org

PREMIERING TWO BLOCKBUSTER EXHIBITSPREMIERING TWO BLOCKBUSTER EXHIBITSThe Dallas Morning News




The Meadows Museum at SMU hasbeen nicknamed the Prado onthe Prairie, reflecting the distin-

guished collection of art it brings to theTexas landscape.Today housing one ofthe largest and most comprehensivecollections of Spanish art outside ofSpain, the Meadows Museum celebratesthe 50th year of its collections, addingvisiting exhibits of art never before seenin the United States and celebratoryevents befitting a golden anniversary.

“The Museum’s permanent collec-tion has been referred to by museumdirectors and curators throughout theUnited States and the world as the mostimportant collection of Spanish art thatexists anywhere outside of that country,”said Linda Perryman Evans, presidentand CEO of The Meadows Foundation.She is also the great niece of Museumfounder Algur H. Meadows.

“When my great uncle donated hisart collection and endowed the SMUSchool of the Arts, he wanted to createthe finest school for arts education inthe country. Giving the students fromthe Meadows School of the Arts, all thestudents at SMU, and the public thechance to view and study this import-ant collection deepens the educationalopportunities offered by the MeadowsMuseum,” she said. “Now, through artpartnerships being created by directorDr. Mark Roglán, the Museum is draw-ing visitors and dignitaries from all overthe world to SMU for lectures, activitiesand events.This interaction enriches theeducational experience for everyone.”

For SMU faculty and students, theMeadows Museum is a unique teaching tool.

“The collection is world-class; it putsthe Meadows in the top 10 of any list ofuniversity art collections, with placeslike Princeton andWilliams College,”said Pamela Patton, professor and chairof the SMU Art History Department.“This is remarkable for an institutionthat’s so much younger. And that col-lection is placed at the fingertips of allSMU students, who can study the worksin the context of a class, pursue inde-pendent research with a professor or aninternship with museum staff, or simplyenjoy the exhibitions on a visit. Many ofour art history students have launchedscholarly and museum careers here.And of course for the professors, it is ajoy to teach with live objects. Students

learn so much more from really lookingat surfaces, contours and materials thanthey do from images on a screen.”

The Algur H. Meadows Collection iscomprehensive, ranging from early Me-dieval and Renaissance works, to modernpieces by Juan Gris, Miró and Picasso,and contemporary works by living artistssuch as Santiago Calatrava and JaumePlensa. Masterpieces from Spain’s “Gold-en Age,” which lasted from the close ofthe 15th century until the latter part ofthe 17th, includes paintings byVelázquez,Murillo and Ribera. Of particular signif-icance are several paintings by Franciscode Goya, as well as first-edition sets ofall four of his renowned print series.Additionally, there are exquisite examplesof 19th-century Realist and Impressionistworks from Spain, including works byFortuny and Sorolla.

“The Meadows Museum is such animportant asset for our community,drawing thousands of individuals on aregular basis from across the region andnation,” said Linda Pitts Custard, chair,Meadows Museum Advisory Council.“Our increasing partnerships withinternational institutions and privatecollections bring to our city unique andpriceless cultural assets. The membersof the Museum’s Advisory Board join me

in welcoming the world to the MeadowsMuseum during this celebratory year.”

In addition to The Algur H. MeadowsCollection, the permanent works formtwo other collections:The ElizabethMeadows Sculpture Collection and TheMeadows Museum Collection.

The Elizabeth Meadows Sculpture

Collection was a gift to SMU from AlgurH. Meadows to honor his second wife.Many of the modern, non-Spanishthree-dimensional works from artistsJacques Lipchitz, Henry Moore and ClaesOldenburg can be viewed in the mu-seum’s outdoor plaza, while importantfigural representations from Giacometti,Maillol and Rodin are displayed inside.

The current Meadows Museum Col-lection is the result of gifts and contri-butions by The Meadows Foundation,donors and friends of the Museum tocontinue to acquire significant Spanishart. This collection includes outdoorinstallations of the moving sculptureWave by artist Santiago Calatrava (alsothe architect of the Margaret Hunt HillBridge), and Jaume Plensa’s Sho, a wire-frame sculpture of a young girl’s head,a dominant presence at the Museum’sentry. Indoor works in this collectionare by El Greco, Carreño, Saura,Tàpiesand Rico.

The Meadows Museum also managesthe University Art Collection with origi-nal regional Texas artwork of all varietiesthat has been donated by alumni andfriends of SMU. Current and formerstudents and faculty, including DavidBates, John Alexander and James Surls,are represented. Many of these workscan be found on display throughout theSMU campus. ■

R. GERALD TURNER,R. GERALD TURNER, SMU PRESIDENT

Dear Friends,It’s not often that one institution

can celebrate the intersection of sev-eral historic milestones in one year.But at SMU in 2015, we find our-selves in that remarkable position.

This special insert of The DallasMorning News focuses on one ofthese milestones – the 50th anniver-sary of the Meadows Museum.Wealso pay homage to the tremendoussupport of The Meadows Foun-dation and family in establishingand supporting the Museum, theMeadows School of the Arts andother programs advancing artisticexpression.The generosity of TheMeadows Foundation has result-ed in a Museum that serves as aninternational ambassador for Dallas,and a school that strengthens thecommunity as it serves its students.

As a thank you to the communi-ty, the Museum’s 50th anniversaryyear includes two unique exhibitsnever before seen in the UnitedStates.We are grateful to our volun-teer leaders who are busy finalizing

plans for these and other activitiesopen to the public.You will see thenames of these tireless volunteersin this special insert, along with alist of events. Check the website,www.meadowsmuseumdallas.org,to keep up to date with opportuni-ties for participation. One date tosave is Sept. 24, 2015, when SMUcelebrates the 100th anniversaryof its opening.

Another cause for celebrationis that on March 23,The MeadowsFoundation announced it is makinga historic gift of $45 million to theMeadows Museum and the Mead-ows School of the Arts.This com-mitment ensures that these culturaland educational resources will besustained and advanced for genera-tions to come.

The Foundation’s gift brings uscloser to the $1 billion goal of ourSecond Century Campaign, culmi-nating in December.Thus far wehave received gifts from more than66,000 donors from this region andaround the world to support student

scholarships, faculty and academicexcellence and the campus expe-rience. We are seeing the campustransformed by these investments.Each incoming class of studentsbrings stronger academic creden-tials. Faculty research is growingand making a broader impact. Newacademic centers are focusing onimportant emerging issues. Andmore students are living on campus,forming a residential communityof learners.

We hope that this special insertwill inspire you to experience theunique artistic treasures of theMeadows Museum.We welcome youto visit the campus for other events,sampling some of the 400 studentand professional performancesoffered each year by the MeadowsSchool of the Arts.

Arts at SMU will have a generationalimpact, not simply on SMU but onDallas. SMU President Gerald Turnerwas exactly right when he describedthe gift as helping Dallas develop asa center for the arts. The foundationcreated by oilman Algur H. Meadowsand his wife, Virginia, in 1948 has donemore than we can really measure, andit carries on.”

THE MEADOWS FOUNDATION: IMPACT BEYOND MEASURE

Journey to Spain bringspriceless works of art to Dallas

Like many cultural assets in town, theMeadows Museum started with anambitious vision of bringing some-

thing unique to Dallas.While exploring for oil in Spain in the

1950s, Dallas philanthropist and financierAlgur H. Meadows journeyed across thestreet from his Madrid hotel to the Museodel Prado, housing one of the world’sfinest collections of Spanish and Europe-an art. Joyously spending hours exploringthe Prado’s priceless works of art, hevowed to create a smaller version of themuseum in Texas.

Perhaps it was fate.“Prado director Miguel Zugaza always

reminds me that it almost had to happenbecause prado translates to English asmeadow,” said Mark A. Roglán,The LindaP. and William A. Custard director of theMeadows Museum and centennial chair inthe Meadows School of the Arts.

“Algur Meadows really wanted to dosomething very important that endured. Heamassed a collection of art by Spanish mas-ters and other great artists that he wantedto share with Dallas.”

In 1962, through The Meadows Foun-dation,Algur H. Meadows donated funds toSMU for the construction of a museum tohouse his collection, and in 1965, the Mead-ows Museum opened its doors. Behind thescenes,Algur H. Meadows continued anaggressive acquisitions program to expandthe Museum’s collection.

The Meadows Foundation has workedtirelessly to continue the legacy of itsfounder and collections. Matching fundshave made the Meadows Museum a promi-nent player in art auctions.A recent signifi-cant work of art made possible by MeadowsFoundation funding and a gift from Mrs.Eugene McDermott is Francisco de Goya’sPortrait of Mariano Goya, the Artist’s Grand-son (1827), acquired in 2013.

By 1998, the Museum needed a newhome for its growing collection, exhibitsand programs.The Meadows Foundationgave SMU a $1.5 million planning grantand another $18.5 million to construct anew building. It was dedicated in 2001 witha ceremony attended by H.R.H. King JuanCarlos and Queen Sofia of Spain.

Larger grants were still to come. In2006,The Meadows Foundation donated ahistoric $33 million to the Meadows Schooland the Meadows Museum, $25 million ofwhich was for additional acquisitions andexhibitions.

It also kicked off a period of growingvisibility for the Museum.

“Until recently, many people didn’tfully realize the significance of theMeadows Museum collection,” saidLinda Perryman Evans, president andCEO of The Meadows Foundation andAlgur H. Meadows’ great niece. “Butwhat had been a hidden gem in Dallashas gained international visibility.”

In 2010, the once-called “Prado on

the Prairie” joined forces with the Pradoin Spain to create an unprecedented three-year partnership, including two fellowships.The Meadows/Kress/Prado Fellowship be-gan in 2011 and was followed in 2014 by theMeadows/Mellon/Prado Curatorial Fellow-ship. Collaborations with other internation-ally renowned institutions include Spain’sBiblioteca Nacional and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.

Gifts from The Meadows Foundationhave enabled loans of everything frompaintings and sculptures to decorativepieces and rare antiquities, including amajor portrait by Goya from the Louvre inParis and one of the final works of DiegoVelázquez, arriving from Vienna.

The Museum’s permanent collectionincludes significant works by the Spanishmasters Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, Picasso,Miró, Murillo and Sorolla along with Eu-ropean artists and sculptures by AugusteRodin, Henry Moore, Claus Oldenburgand others.

“We consider the Meadows Museumpart of the family of institutions whichlook after and study Spanish art in theworld and is located in a city like Dallasthat is so connected with the history ofSpain itself,” said Miguel Zugaza, directorof the Prado Museum.

More than 50,000 visitors, including5,500 school children, visit the Museumannually.The Museum also offers freemultisensory experiences for low-visionvisitors and Connections, an interactiveprogram for individuals with early-stagedementia.

“The Meadows Museum is one of themost important institutions in Dallas,” saidMayor Mike Rawlings. “In my national andinternational travel, it is very gratifying tosee how valued the Museum is and how itstrengthens our reputation for culture andscholarship.” ■

“THE EVENTS PLANNED FOR THE

MUSEUM’S GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY

WILL SHOWCASE THE MUSEUM’S

INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE.”

– Mark A. Roglán



As part of its continuing50th anniversary celebra-tion in 2015, the Meadows

Museum presents “Treasures fromthe House of Alba: 500Years ofArt and Collecting.” The exhibitincludes paintings, prints, sculp-tures, antiquities, furniture, tapes-tries and decorative art from threepalaces belonging to the Albafamily. Running from Sept. 4, 2015to Jan. 3, 2016, the Meadows exhibitrepresents the first time that theseworks have left Spain.

For more than 500 years, theAlba family has been part of themost important aristocratic lineagesin Europe, not only because of thefamily’s military, political and socialsignificance, but also for its culturalpatronage and art collecting.Trea-sures from the House of Alba willdisplay some of the finest exam-ples from this collecting tradition,from the 15th and 16th centuriesthrough the 20th century. It willbe organized in a way that explainsthe historical development of the

family and its collecting interests.Art and other precious objects

in the palaces - the Liria in Madrid,the Dueñas in Seville and the Mon-terrey in Salamanca – form a collec-tion that features thousands ofpieces, including works by masterssuch as Chagall, Goya, Ingres, Mu-rillo, Rembrandt, Renoir, Reynolds,Ribera, Rubens, Sargent,Titianand Zuloaga.Among the paintingsto be featured in the exhibiton isGoya’s renowned The Duchess ofAlba inWhite, 1795, a portrait ofthe famous Duchess DoñaTeresaCayetana, 13th in the lineage.

Also on display will be animportant series of ChristopherColumbus documents – manu-scripts in the explorer’s hand show-ing his first map of the NewWorldand listing the sailors accompa-nying his voyage.The exhibit alsoincludes 16th-century Flemish tap-estries byWillem de Pannemakerand 19th-century furniture createdfor Napoleon III.

The House ofAlba – for centuries

the most illustrious household inSpain, with close ties to the monar-chy – remains one of the foremostnoble families in Europe, with rootsdating back to the mid-15th centu-ry, when Fernando Álvarez deTole-do was named count of the town ofAlba deTormes. Until her death onNov. 20, 2014, the current head ofthe Alba family was Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, the 18th Duchess ofAlba, who held more recognizedtitles than any other noble livingtoday.

“Our will is to share the worksand pieces that make up the col-lection of the Foundation Houseof Alba with an increasing public,each time more knowledgeable andmore interested in culture and his-tory.This sample allows us to pres-ent different works and documentsthat have survived the vicissitudesof history and that make up thegreatest treasure of the legacy ofour family,” said Carlos Fitz-JamesStuart y Martínez de Irujo, Dukeof Huescar.■

Treasures from the House of Alba:500 Years of Art and Collecting

- SEPT. 4, 2015 TO JAN. 3, 2016 -

THE FIRST U.S. SHOWING OF BLOCKBUSTER EXHIBITS


The 50th anniversary celebra-tion of the Meadows Museumat SMU begins by making

history for the Museum and forDallas – by hosting major art exhib-its never before seen in the UnitedStates.The first to be shown is “TheAbelló Collection:A ModernTastefor European Masters,”April 18through August 2, 2015, a collec-tion built over the past 30 years bySpanish entrepreneur Juan Abellóand his wife,Anna Gamazo.

As one of the top private artholdings in Spain, the collectionalso is an ideal reflection of thepassions of Meadows Museumfounder Algur H. Meadows, whosought to procure the finest andrarest in Spanish art.The Abellócollection features such masters asEl Greco, Francisco de Goya, PabloPicasso and Juan Gris, as well asworks by a variety of internationalmodern masters, including AmedeoModigliani and Francis Bacon.Theexhibit will feature approximately100 works from the 15th to the 21stcenturies.Also included will be anensemble of 15 drawings by Pablo

Picasso, representing all periods inhis long career.

The Meadows exhibit offersa rare chance to see works thatnormally adorn the walls of Abelló’sand Gamazo’s home in Madrid,where enjoying masterpieces is aneveryday occurrence.

“I must tell you that I’m always abit scared about having my paint-ings crossing the Atlantic, but theMeadows has its 50th anniversaryand is, as far as I know, the biggestcollector of Spanish art outside ofSpain,”Abelló said. “That justi-fies doing an exhibition where 80percent of a collection is Spanishpaintings.”

The Meadows Museum pro-vides an ideal setting for the AbellóCollection which, like the Muse-um’s permanent collection, aims tostrengthen awareness of and cele-brate Spain’s rich cultural heritage.

“Meadows is our friend.We hada drawing collection there years ago.Things went so well, it was easy, itwas nice. People in Dallas enjoyed itso we thought, why not?” said AnnaGamazo of this new collaboration.

“They asked and we said ‘yes.’Thereare a lot of Spanish paintings inthat museum, so we thought it was agood place for us to be.”

The Museum’s partnership andinteraction with the Prado Museumin Madrid and other internationalcollections have helped to lay thegroundwork for the special exhibitof the Abelló Collection.And as ithas from the beginning,The Mead-ows Foundation is providing sup-port to bring the exhibit to SMU.

This exhibition has been or-ganized by the Meadows Museumwith works generously loaned to theMuseum by the Abelló Collection,and has been brought to Dallas bya generous gift fromThe MeadowsFoundation.

The exhibition is part of theMuseum’s Golden Anniversary,which is sponsored by The MeadowsFoundation, The Moody Founda-tion, the Dallas Tourism PublicImprovement District and theDallas Convention & VisitorsBureau. Media sponsorship hasbeen provided by The DallasMorning News. ■
