SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Making his Mark in CT\, F. Luis Mora
DESCRIPTION:The Housatonic Museum of Art presents the landmark exhibition celebrating the life and legacy of F. Luis Mora. The exhibit features never-before-exhibited drawings and extraordinary works from major museum collections together in Downtown Bridgeport. \nThe Housatonic Museum of Art (HMA) presents Making his Mark in Connecticut: The Creative Process of F. Luis Mora\, a landmark exhibition exploring the life\, legacy\, and artistic vision of the first Hispanic member of the National Academy of Design. \nOpening September 9\, the exhibition invites visitors inside the remarkable journey of an artist whose work helped shape American visual culture. Born in Uruguay before immigrating to the United States\nas a child\, Mora ultimately settled in Gaylordsville\, CT\, where he built a distinguished career and left an enduring mark on the state’s artistic heritage. Developed in honor of America’s 250th anniversary\, Making his Mark in Connecticut examines themes of immigration\, community\, history\, and how the places we call home shape the stories we tell through art. From quick pencil sketches to finished masterpieces\, visitors will witness the evolution of an artist’s ideas in ways rarely available outside of museum archives. This exhibition is curated by Dr. Cynthia Roznoy and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue. \nAt the heart of the exhibition are never-before-exhibited preparatory drawings from the collection of Benjamin Ortiz and Victor Torchia\, Jr. that trace F. Luis Mora’s creative process from first sketch to finished work. In conversation with major loans\, including The National Academy Jury of 1907 from the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Jeanne Cartier from Yale University Art Gallery\, and works from the Florence Griswold Museum\, these rare drawings offer an intimate look inside the mind of an often-overlooked American artist in one of the HMA’s most ambitious exhibitions to date. \n“Art has a unique ability to help us understand history through the lives of the people who shaped it\,” said Jennifer Reynolds-Kaye\, Ph.D.\, Director of the Housatonic Museum of Art. “F. Luis Mora’s story is one of creativity\, resilience\, and belonging. As we commemorate America’s 250th anniversary\, we hope visitors leave with a deeper appreciation for his extraordinary artistic legacy and the many voices that continue to shape Connecticut’s story.” \nThe public is invited to a free opening reception at the Housatonic Museum of Art. The exhibition is supported by Connecticut Humanities\, America 250 | CT\, the Wyeth Foundation for American Art\, CT State Housatonic\, the Housatonic Community College Foundation\, Elizabeth Fray\, and additional supporters.
