Tina Fuentes
Tina Fuentes is an artist known for her aggressive, bold contemporary paintings. She is Latina and lives and works in West Texas. For 33 years, Fuentes was a professor at the School of Art at Texas Tech University, where she was also the creator of the annual undergraduate show. Her art studio is in Lubbock, Texas. Fuentes dreams in color. She touches objects and people and feels the energy around her. On waking, she tells her husband of the vivid details of her dreams. Fuentes, one of the most well-known Hispanic artists in the country, shared this insight into her creative world during a conversation in her office on the Tech campus.
A native of the region, Fuentes was born in San Angelo and raised in Odessa, Texas. She earned her BFA and MFA degrees at the University of North Texas in Denton, where she specialized in painting, drawing and printmaking. Fuentes has taught art in Texas public schools, the Waco Art Center, the University of Albuquerque, the University of New Mexico — and of course at Texas Tech.
Fuentes has been the subject of a PBS documentary ("El Arte de Tina Fuentes"), her work has been profiled in almost every major art magazine of the region, and she has had one-woman and group exhibitions at numerous museums and galleries.
In talking to Fuentes, one senses an artist who is passionate about color, form, and the very private world that inspires her work. When asked about her "process," she said that she does not start out with a fixed idea, but that she does have certain colors in mind. All of her tools have to be ready weeks in advance and sometimes she may use a particular color that she has not picked up in two years. Once she actually starts the work, she enters another realm. "I can recall moments when I've been in such a euphoric state that I have lost almost total contact with the world around me," she said. "It's like the piece and I are one."

- UntitledBy Michael GoldbergLocated in Austin, TXOil, pastel, and paper collage on canvas. Signed and dated verso. 52.75 x 47.75 in. 54 x 49 in. (framed) Gilded floater frame. Provenance Compass Rose, Chicago Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings. From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League. Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...Category
