Stevens Art Gallery features National Hispanic Heritage Month art show

October 01, 2018

Sept. 28, 2018 |

The Stevens Art Gallery at Harding University is featuring a National Hispanic Heritage Month art show titled “Mexican Art: A Portfolio of Mexican People and Places.” The show is currently on display in Gallery 1 and will run through Wednesday, Oct. 12. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and admission is free.

The portfolio contains a collection of eight lithographic prints — prints pulled from an inked image drawn on a block of limestone and printed on a lithographic press. The images focus on the common person, laborers doing their daily tasks in humble settings. Among the pieces on display are “Grinding Sugar Cane” by Alberto Beltrán, “Pottery Maker” by Isidoro Ocampo and “Silver Mine Worker” by Francisco Mora.

There will be a lithographic stone and printing tools on display in the gallery to help orient the gallery visitor to how the process works.

The collection of prints was published in 1946 by the Association of American Artists and the Taller de Gráfica Popular, an artist collective print group from Mexico City founded by artists Pablo O’Higgins, Leopoldo Méndez and Luis Arenal. The University acquired the portfolio some time before 1990, and it has been on display at various times over the past 20 years.
