Joy and Suffering: The El Paso Museum of Art's Collection of Mexican Retablos March 8 – May 12, 2019 Peter and Margaret de Wetter Gallery, El Paso Museum of Art Retablos, or small devotional paintings on tin and copper, were part of everyday life in 19th and 20th century Mexico. They were displayed at major pilgrimage sites throughout the country, and in homes and churches. This March, EPMA’s retablos collection—the second-largest in the United States—is being highlighted in a new installation featuring the museum’s key collections gifted by El Paso’s Hamilton, McKnight, and Roderick families. The exhibition, representative of the breadth and depth of EPMA’s holdings, focuses on the Virgin Mary in her many folk and formal manifestations. It includes ex-votos, or paintings commissioned to commemorate miracles, and retablos santos, or paintings of saints and holy figures. Joy and Suffering illuminates not only the devotional culture of 19th and 20th century Mexico, but also the daily joys and sufferings of life. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Rogers Family, and in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Texas Commission on the Arts, and the El Paso Museum of Art Foundation.

Vista de la instalación, Alegría y Sufrimiento, EPMA.

Retablos, o pequeñas pinturas devocionales sobre el estaño y el cobre, eran parte de la vida cotidiana en el México de los siglos XIX y XX. Se exhibieron en los principales sitios de peregrinación en todo el país, y en hogares e iglesias. Este marzo, la colección de EPMA retablos la segunda más grande de los Estados Unidos- está siendo resaltada en una nueva instalación que presenta las colecciones clave del museo, regaladas por las familias Hamilton, McKnight y Roderick de El Paso. La exposición, representativa de la amplitud y profundidad de los bienes de la EPMA, se centra en la Virgen María en sus muchas manifestaciones folclóricas y formales. Incluye ex-votos, o pinturas comisionadas para conmemorar milagros, y retablos santos, o pinturas de santos y figuras sagradas. Joy and Suffering ilumina no sólo la cultura devocional del México de los siglos XIX y XX, sino también las alegrías y sufrimientos diarios de la vida. El apoyo para esta exposición es proporcionado por la familia Rogers, y en parte por una subvención de Humanities Texas, la filial estatal de la National Endowment for the Humanities, la Comisión de Artes de Texas, y la Fundación del Museo de Arte de El Paso.
