Drawn from the outstanding private collection of Susan Toomey Frost, this exhibition features a selection of brightly colored ceramic artwork decorated to reflect the imagery of Mexico and South Texas with depictions of every day culture and life. Generically referred to as “San José tiles,” the works were locally produced by small groups of artisans working in a succession of three workshops including Mexican Arts and Crafts, San Jose Potteries and Mission Crafts from 1931 to 1971, led by entrepreneur Ethel Wilson Harris. A highlight of the exhibit is the artwork including drawings, sketches and paintings of Fernando Ramos, the principal artist for the first workshop, Mexican Arts and Crafts.
The Museum’s back gallery will display the art installation Voces de las Perdidas, featuring ceramic work by Austin visual artist Adriana Corral. Fusing traditional ceramic process with current events in Juarez, Mexico, Corral presents a unique interpretation of the clay tile as a medium.
