The Spanish Gesture: Drawings from Murillo to Goya in the Hamburger Kunsthalle by Mark A. Rogl??n (2014-08-01)

By Mark A. Roglan, Hubertus Gassner, Miguel Zugaza Miranda

The Meadows Museum will honor one of SMU's own with an exhibition catalogue of works by artist John Alexander. Featuring a focused selection of works, including both paintings and drawings, the catalogue will consider the past decade of the artist's career. With an eye to the cast of characters--both humans and animals alike--that Alexander employs with frequency, a fantastical world in which masked faces, inexplicable haloes, living skeletons, and unblinking eyes abound will be presented. Seemingly relatable at first glance, the compositions become increasingly complex as multiple meanings, both humorous and dark, emerge with prolonged examination.
