G. Ruger Donoho: A Painter's Path

A leading practitioner of the Barbizon and Impressionist styles dominating the progressive American art scene at the turn of the century, Gaines Ruger Donoho (1857-1916) has attracted little scholarly attention since his death. His work was exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon during the 1880s and attracted the critical admiration of noted artists such as James McNeill Whistler and Pierre C. Puvis de Chavannes. In 1889 he was awarded a silver medal at the University Exposition in Paris, one of the most important exhibitions of the period. Returning to New York in 1887, Donoho was associated with a group that included Childe Hassam, John Twachtman, Frank Benson and Edmund Tarbell, among others of the most advanced artists working in America at that time. Donoho's works were shown in numerous exhibitions at art galleries, academies and museums, and he became recognized as one of America's most promising artists. Among the first of the early modern American artists to move to Long Island, a significant venue for the evolution of American landscape painting, Donoho continued to develop his art in a way that suggests the reciprocal influences of Childe Hassam, J. Alden Weir, John Twachtman and William Merritt Chase.

History & Criticism

As our culture relocates into digital realms, numerous artists have returned to a studio practice grounded in “doing” and “making.” New Image Sculpture unites the work of artists who freely borrow from the worlds of ethnographic and material culture, folk art, fashion, hobby crafts, DIY and the shelves of Home Depot.

McNay Art Museum

San Antonio has a long and distinguished history of collecting African American Art. In the late 1980s, Harmon and Harriet Kelley began acquiring paintings, drawings, and prints for their home. Their collection grew and toured the nation, and private collectors and public institutions took notice. The Kelley Collection of works on paper was presented at the McNay Art Museum (2009); followed by the Amon Carter Museum in Ft. Worth, Texas; the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery in Lincoln, Nebraska; the California African American Museum in Los Angeles, California; the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts in Pennsylvania; and recently the El Paso Museum of Art in Texas. Individual paintings from their collection were also lent to major exhibitions such as the Norman Lewis retrospective (2016) and to museum permanent collection galleries. The Kelley's generosity has enabled cultural institutions across the U.S. to tell more truthful and inclusive histories of art.
