The New Mexico Art League will be Closed for a Little While Longer In light of the continuing risk of the spread of the corona virus and in the interest of the health and safety of our students, artists and friends, the New Mexico Art League will be closed to the public for the time being. The good news . . .We will be offering our exhibitions and classes online now with our amazing faculty that you know and love! If you are currently registered in an upcoming class we want you to know that the online version of your class will be different but just as fun and informative as a studio class, you just won't be in the same room. Our faculty is excited about the new online format and committed to creating a great experience for every student. In the event that the Zoom class does not work for you for whatever reason we are asking that our students consider taking a credit or donating your class fee to the New Mexico Art League at this critical time. As always, we are so grateful for your loyal support and wish everyone good health and good wishes during this very difficult time. We miss you and look forward to seeing you back at the New Mexico Art League as soon as life returns to normal. Thank you for understanding and please stay healthy! | ____________________ Art Book Pick Here is a recommendation from our very own Kate Fry!
The Life and Art of Wilson Hurley: Celebrating the Richness of Reality by Rosalyn Roembke Hurley Over the course of his four-decade career as an artist and since his death in 2008 there have been numerous magazine articles, exhibition catalogs, and books about Wilson Hurley and his work, but this is the first definitive biography. Rosalyn Roembke Hurley, an artist in her own right, has written a comprehensive account of her husband’s life, his approach to his art both from a technical perspective and an emotional one, and his paying forward his knowledge for the benefit of other artists through his writings. The plentiful reproductions of his paintings are excellent and the writing is engaging and intelligent. The book is a pleasure for the eye and for the mind. The second section of the book is a thorough exploration of Hurley’s approach to his painting goals and of the technical aspects of his art as compiled from his writings. He provides extensive detail about studio design, culminating in the design of his own spacious studio in the Albuquerque foothills. There is also plenty of information about his studio equipment, color palette, mediums, surfaces, and brushes that artists will revel in, as well as a description of his plein air painting equipment and a full chapter about the necessity of painting from life to bring authenticity to landscape painting. Wilson Hurley had a remarkable ability to communicate the richness of reality, which clearly sprang from what he described as “. . .a very real love that I have for the world. I experience physical pleasure when I look at it”. This is a book that belongs in the library of every artist and lover of art. - Kate Fry, Member of the New Mexico Art League Board of Directors ___________________ Call for ____________________ Our Promise. . . As we continue to try to navigate through these very uncertain times we are making every effort to offer the best and safest experience for our students and art lovers. Please exercise your best common sense about returning to the studio or gallery if you are considered in any way high risk to the Covid virus. We have made every attempt to offer a wide range of terrific classes available online so that our at risk community can continue to participate and stay connected to our art community here at the Art League. We take the health and safety of our students and instructors very seriously. Every precaution will be taken to insure social distancing in smaller classes and rapid air exchange in an effort to minimize any risk. We will be disinfecting tables between classes as well as requiring masks by all students and instructors. With the changing mandates from the Governor, there is a chance that we will have to change the scheduled studio classes to online Zoom classes at a moments notice. We want to thank you in advance for your support and understanding. Thank you for helping us all by cooperating with this new routine! Please Stay Well!🧡 ____________________ |
