PHOTOGRAPHY IN MEXICOfrom the Collection of SFMOMA

When the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art closed its doors in June of 2013 to undergo a three year expansion project, “SFMOMA on the go” was launched. The unprecedented program is aimed at presenting exhibits throughout California while the Museum’s expansion is under way. Photography in Mexico is part of a statewide tour drawn from SFMOMA’s internationally acclaimed photography collection. Since 2013, Photography in Mexico has traveled to the Bakersfield Museum of Art and the Sonoma County Museum. The Haggin Museum is the tour’s final venue. Featuring approximately 75 photographs, Photography in Mexico reveals a distinctively rich and diverse tradition of photography in Mexico. The show begins with works from the medium’s first artistic flowering in the wake of the Mexican Revolution (1910–20) and goes on to explore the explosion of the illustrated press at midcentury, the documentary investigations of cultural traditions and urban politics that emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, and more recent considerations of urban life and globalization. As arts and culture flourished in Mexico after the Revolution, many European and American artists were drawn to the country. Among them were Edward Weston and Tina Modotti, who arrived in Mexico in 1923. Inspired by what they saw there, Weston and Modotti in turn

motivated Mexican photographers to pursue the medium’s artistic possibilities; their influence helped provide Mexican photographers with confidence that art photography was a viable path. Hence, the exhibition opens with a selection of works made in Mexico by Modotti and Weston during the 1920s and 1930s. One of the Mexican p h o t o g r a p h e r s encouraged by Modotti and Weston was Manuel Álvarez Bravo, who went on to become one of the most influential p h o t o g r a p h e r s and teachers in the country’s history, as well as a key figure in the broader international history of the medium. In considering Álvarez Bravo’s career, the exhibition illuminates the birth and development of a tradition of art photography in Mexico. In mid-20th-century Mexico, as in the United States and Europe, earning an adequate income as an art photographer was an unlikely proposition. Instead, many photographers made a living through

photojournalism, contributing to the numerous illustrated publications in circulation during this period. In the decades following the Revolution, there was great interest in traditional ways of life and in defining what it meant to be Mexican. Some photographers, such as Manuel Carrillo, created images documenting the nation’s traditions and celebrating its common people. Others, like Héctor García and Rodrigo Moya, rejected this sentimental approach, focusing instead on contemporary concerns and the political and social turbulence that continued to influence post-revolutionary Mexican life. The late 1960s and 1970s saw the rise of critical theory and a new interest in investigating the nature of photography as a medium; in Mexico as elsewhere, there were more

On the 2nd Saturday of each month, we hold a hands-on event for families with children ages 5-12.for Families

Activities include art projects, interactive programs and museum wide events. Reservations are not required, but seating is available on a first come, first served basis. The museum supplies all materials for the projects at these events. Contact the Education Department (209) 940-6315 or [email protected] for more information. 2nd Saturdays for Families programming is generously underwritten by Joan W. Diehl.

opportunities to study photography and to pursue noncommercial projects. A number of Mexican photographers, such as Lourdes Grobet, Graciela Iturbide, Pedro Meyer, and Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, created extended documentary series. Iturbide lived among indigenous people and

recorded the details of their daily lives; Grobet focused on wrestling and the cultural concept of the mask; Ortiz Monasterio captured gritty, dystopian views of Mexico City. Since the 1990s, the attention of many Mexican photographers has turned away from cultural traditions and rural

landscapes and toward the cities and suburbs where many Mexicans now live. The exhibition closes with works by Alejandro Cartagena, Pablo López Luz, Daniela Rossell, and Yvonne Venegas that reflect this interest in the changing social landscape, looking atwealth and class, urbanization and land use, and the effects of the globalized economy. The exhibition draws extensively on recent gifts from Los Angeles collectors Daniel Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser. Exhibition texts are presented in English and Spanish.

Photography in Mexico from the Collection of SFMOMA is organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is made possible by a grant from The James Irvine Foundation and by Bank of America.

Valuable store volunteer and friend of the MSA, Edith “Edie” Jones passed away December 15, 2014. Edie had been involved with the store since its early days, some 24 years. She was well-known in the Museum and developed a lively reputation. At times she was a “force to be reckoned with,” and sometimes “a pistol,” but all were certain those traits fueled her work ethic and commitment to the Museum. Her loyalty was fierce -- that’s how she operated and that’s how she got things done. Those who knew her witnessed her warmth.

Edie’s passion for tradition and by the book approach to her various positions and undertakings (especially the annual Mad Hatter’s Tea Party) kept the auxiliary organized and the members on their toes. Few like her remain and the auxiliary is truly indebted to her.

REMEMBERING EDIE JONES

Museum Store Auxiliary V.P.’s Belen Koch (left) and Dianne LaRue presented CEO Tod Ruhstaller with a check at the auxiliary’s February board meeting. The check was donated from profits earned at the Museum Store in 2014.

Father of Louis Terah Haggin

Fortunes

FORTUNES & FAMILY: The Haggin McKee Legacy, a special exhibition of photographs, paintings, artifacts and ephemera, explores the story behind the founding of one museum by two families over three generations. It is a tale of the financial successes rooted in the economic development of the West, the lifestyles made possible by such wealth and the legacy born of one couple’s willingness to share their fortune with the people of Stockton. And although both were drawn to California by the Gold Rush, the Haggin and McKee families chose separate paths in a journey that

would eventually bring them together 2,900 miles from the Golden State. James Ben Ali Haggin, a Kentucky lawyer, came to California in 1850 and along with his partner (and brother-in-law) Lloyd Tevis, settled in San Francisco. Their business interests were varied and proved extremely lucrative for both. They were principal stockholders in some of the most successful silver, gold and copper mining operations in the world and had extensive land holdings of over 2,000,000 acres throughout the West. Louis Terah Haggin, James’ oldest son, was also a lawyer. He represented his father and uncle in many of their enterprises and shared in their financial success. This success was reflected in their

lifestyles. Over the decades they owned homes in California, New York, Kentucky, Rhode Island, and New Jersey, furnishing them with antiques, decorative arts and paintings by American and European artists. The elder Haggin had two of the largest thoroughbred horse farms in the world and was quite well known in racing circles. The younger Haggin married a brilliant and talented San Francisco socialite—Blanche Butterworth—in 1873. Both spoke fluent French and maintained a residence in Paris. There they entertained artists, writers and members of the European nobility, one of whom married their only child—Eila—in 1892. Fortunately for our story, the marriage was not a happy one and the couple divorced in 1900.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION

James passed away in 1914, leaving an estate valued at well over $20,000,000. Louis—who became a widower the following year—now managed the family’s business interests. He and Eila both resided in New York, and it was there that Eila met Robert T. McKee, whom she wed in 1924. McKee was the son of William Frame McKee, who settled in Stockton in 1850. The McKees were one of the wealthier families in town—thanks to William’s success in business. The younger McKee studied art in San Francisco and Europe and eventually settled in New York where he became a successful interior designer and socially prominent. Upon his death in 1929, Louis left almost all of his $10,000,000 estate to Eila. Aware

of his hometown’s less than successful efforts to build a history museum, Robert and Eila decided to offer the San Joaquin Pioneer and Historical Society $30,000 and 180 paintings from her father’s estate if they would expand the focus of their museum to include an art wing named after her late father. Subsequent gifts of more paintings followed, establishing the Museum’s core art collection. In addition, bequests from both Eila and Robert created the Museum’s first endowment and the Robert T. McKee Student Art Exhibition. Today, as we approach our 85th anniversary, The Haggin Museum is a lasting tribute to both the financial success and generosity of two pioneer California families.

Imagine a champagne toast as Maestro Peter Jaffe gives a preview of the Stockton Opera’s production of Die Fledermaus, in anticipation of the May 29 & 31 fully staged performances. To be sung in English, Johann Strauss Jr.’s Die Fledermaus is filled with the warm and memorable charm of old Vienna’s waltz tradition, and the plot bubbles with elements of comic intrigue, disguise, and a touch of elegant naughtiness. Maestro Jaffe takes us through the historical background, plot, and musical elements of this beloved favorite, and cast members Jessica Siena, Daniel Ebbers, and Paul Kimball whet our appetites with some scenes from the operetta.
