Back in 1980, legendary actor Vincent Price recorded several 30-second television announcements in a bid by the Albuquerque Museum to gain more visitors and members. In an interview with the Albuquerque Journal at the time, Price said, “I am crazy about New Mexico. If I had lots of money, I would like to have a house like Georgia O'Keeffe's here.” Price served on the Arts and Crafts Board of the Interior Department and had a doctorate from the California College of Arts and Crafts.

Digging through our archives, we uncovered this fabulous promo video promoting the Albuquerque Museum Foundation—a non-profit that raises funds for the Albuquerque Museum. You can learn more about us, and as the King of Horror suggests, support us!

Passing By

Artist: Ernest Martin Hennings (American, 1886–1956)

Culture: American

Date: c. 1924

Place: New Mexico, United States

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX, United States of America

DESCRIPTION

As tightly woven as a fine tapestry, Passing By shows people of the Taos Pueblo moving through a glade of cottonwoods in the brilliant autumn sun of the Southwest. The figures and landscape are integrated as one.

Exhibited in the 1924 Venice Biennale and the winner of the gold medal in the 1926 exhibition at New York’s National Academy of Design, Passing By is among the finest paintings produced by Taos Society artist E. Martin Hennings. The Taos Society of Artists was the first art colony established west of the Mississippi River, its roots going back to 1898. Following the development of railroad travel and tourism in the Southwest, artists rushed there and embraced Pueblo culture and the dramatic colors and topography of the desert region.

Shimmering like a golden screen shot through with vivid notes of blue, this painting presents a dramatic backdrop of aspen trees against which three Taos Pueblo Indians pass by as if in a timeless procession. All three men are wrapped in woven blankets and wear silver adornment, long braids, and modern clothing. In Passing By, Hennings presents a solemn, dignified image of an enduring native culture.

Shield of the Viceroyalty of New Spain from Mexico dated to the 17th Century on display at the National History Museum in Mexico City, Mexico

Shields like this were used by a unit in the Spanish army called the Tercio, or the Third. They were made up of professional volunteers rather than levies, conscripts and mercenaries that were common in other medieval armies through the 16th to 18th centuries. They were normally made up of soldiers with pikes, bows, muskets and swords and shields, like this one. These sword and shield soldiers were often used to flank the formations of enemy units.

Heritage, signage, and language united.

In 500, Mark Bradford uses caulk to repeat the text of a 1913 advertisement on a grid of painted and oxidized paper on wood panels. The notice seeks five hundred families to inhabit the all-Black settlement of Blackdom, New Mexico, a site that had approximately 150 residents during the early twentieth century until the Great Depression, at which point it was largely uninhabited.

This wanted ad appeared in The Crisis, a quarterly magazine for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), to draw people looking for new opportunities across the country. Knowing only a few details about the migration of his mother’s family to Los Angeles, Bradford found great resonance with the story of Blackdom: a story of those searching for new possibilities and building community with and for other Black people.

See this work by #MarkBradford in #GreatMigrationBkM through June 25.
