For the Love of Art

Apr 24, 2012 - I have an interest in art and think it is a fun way to share ideas with children. CZ: I've had a passion for art all my life. They also had a unique creativity, enthusiasm, and ability to express themselves. At the end of the tour I received a group hug, and that was a very humbling experience! Q) How long have you been a docent? Shari Chadderdon: I started training in the fall of 2009. Claudia Zopoaragon: Four years. Q) What made you decide to become a docent?

Lifelong Learning at the Glassell School of Art

Nov 18, 2019 - I chose to relocate in Houston, and I worked for Shell for 34 years as a refinery operator. When I retired, I wanted to do art and see if I was good at it. One of the hardest things is to look inward and to find a way to reflect what you see in a way that is informative and artistic. You have to figure out, “What do I see?” and “What do I want to say about myself?” My story began in New York City, where I was born and raised. I went into the U.S. Air Force and after that studied to be a commercial photographer—until the cold weather drove me out!

The British Are Coming! Regal Portraits of Henry VIII & Elizabeth I Visit for “Tudors to Windsors”

Sep 14, 2018 - Queen Elizabeth I (“The Ditchley Portrait”) Henry VIII’s daughter, Elizabeth I, asserted her right to rule through art and adornment, and she created a model of rule that skillfully offset the presentation of her femininity with Gheeraerts the Younger’s extraordinary painting of Queen Elizabeth I. A Powerful Duo Just two of the masterpieces to keep an eye out for are a powerful father-daughter duo: a vivid portrait of King Henry VIII by Hans Holbein, who for a time served as the personal painter to the sovereign; and Marcus

Meet the MFAH: Patrick Palmer, Dean of the Glassell Studio School

Apr 9, 2020 - I still teach a couple classes, but mostly I spend my day building future course catalogs, studying the ever-changing demands of a varied curriculum, and making myself available to students and faculty. While we are at home, I garden, go for walks, and maintain a daily sketchbook. Describe your painting style. I do these weird stylized portraits—more so of emotions and expressions than of actual people. c.1888) All of these works set a mood, a feeling of expression—each a technical masterpiece, while an example of storytelling at its very best

Bayou Bend at 50: A Longtime Docent Tells Her Story

Mar 3, 2016 - I was already a docent at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, through a placement with the Junior League. It is like a family. I feel a great pride to be a Bayou Bend docent. It is still thrilling to be there, just as it was that special day on March 5, 1966, at the very beginning of the adventure. I know it is a rigorous, multi-month course. The interview was one-on-one with the new curator, David Warren, who was just out of graduate school. I was scared to death as I climbed the house stairs to his office.

A Noir to Remember

Sep 17, 2018 - When I first saw Laura, I was 15 years old and a sophomore at Lamar High School. I thought it was the most sophisticated, glamorous movie I’d ever seen! I think that’s where my love of film began. I also remember my parents taking me to a matinee of Gone with the Wind at the downtown Loews Theater when I was about 10! We’ve heard that you met the star of Laura, Gene Tierney, a few times when she lived in Houston! Yes, I was at several parties with her in private homes and clubs.

Home Is an Intimate Space: Amalia Mesa-Bains & “Transparent Migrations”

Dec 1, 2017 - I felt from the very beginning, when I learned of this exhibition, that this was a place for my work, because I had a long history of this theme. What is significant about having your work on view in Houston? I am a first-generation Chicano [a person of Mexican origin or descent], and one of the roles I occupied was that of someone who made ofrendas—so most of my early work was centered around the home altar. I talked with Mesa-Bains about the installation. What do you hope visitors take away from Transparent Migrations? I think it’s a work that invites contemplation.

Meet the Chef: Marlies Wasterval

May 26, 2016 - When I was growing up, my dad lived just down the street from where I work now—so when we came to his house, we spent a lot of time in museums, including the MFAH. I find a lot of comfort in this little corner of town. I personally am not a brunch eater, but I love to serve it! What’s your favorite part about working at an art museum? I think the most appealing change is having running specials. The regular menu is great, but it’s also a lot of fun for me—and the customers too, I think—to try something new every week. Also, I love the brunch.

Following the Road to “Aferim!”

Jun 1, 2016 - I really made an effort; I even went to the sales agent to beg for one! I was excited to see that it was programmed at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York a few months later, so I finally got to see it. I first heard of Aferim! when it had its world premiere at the Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival) last year, but I was unable to get a ticket. is different from really anything else out there, since it is a combination of genres I can say with assurance have never been combined before. For one thing Aferim!
