Mexic-Arte Museum presents the exhibition, Ruben Herrera: Master Artist and Teacher 1888-1933, in collaboration with City of Austin, Austin-Saltillo Sister Cities Association, Instituto Municipal de Cultura de Saltillo, Museo Ruben Herrera, Patronato de Bomberos Coahuila Región Sureste, Delia Sifuentes and other descendants of the Herrera Family in Austin, Texas.
Ruben Herrera was a significant artist and teacher, having founded the Painting Academy of Saltillo, which created a new generation of painters in Northern Mexico in the early 20th century. The exhibition, featuring 10 works of art, will premiere for the first time in the United States and is part of Mexic-Arte Museum’s year-long 2010 programming to commemorate the Centennial of the Mexican Revolution and the Bicentennial of the Mexican Independence.
The exhibition will include a special section on the Herrera Family in Austin, highlighting Ruben Herrera’s significant family lineage in Austin, and demonstrating the importance of genealogical research for Austin’s Mexican American community during this year of reflection on Mexico’s history.
