(For more on the exhibit\, go to www.nmhistorymuseum.org/tesoros/.)  \nAs the exhibit reveals\, the santero’s art was founded on a broad tradition of Christian imagery\, but molded into a unique regional vernacular in the then-isolated Spanish colonies of New Mexico. Today\, the santos they created hold many stories – about small bands of settlers surviving in a distant land while developing a culture that has survived hundreds of years in mountain villages and acequia communities. About the colonial exploits of Europe and the cultures that both clashed and blended. About the flags that have flown over this land (Spain\, Mexico and the United States) and how those political changes affected families and communities. \nAt heart\, santos were a way to feel the divine presence through prayer and meditation and for asking a saint’s intercession. In a broader context\, they serve as windows into a culture and history as remote to us today as they were from Spain and Mexico City in the 18th and 19th centuries. \nAll of the lectures take place in the History Museum Auditorium.

Enter through the Washington Avenue doors for this event\, part of the Santa Fe 400th lecture series. \nWhether Santa Fe was in fact established in 1610 or earlier is a fine point to be argued by purists\, Sánchez says. Regardless of the date\, Gov. Peralta oversaw the early history of Santa Fe – and set in motion a struggle for power between successive governors and church officials. \n“In that context\,” Sánchez says\, “was Peralta a scoundrel\, as churchmen made him out to be? Or was he a man of his convictions who would unjustly be excommunicated from Santa Fe’s Catholic congregation\, arrested for the accidental shooting of a Franciscan missionary\, sent in shackles to a jail at Santo Domingo Pueblo\, condemned by his successor\, and exiled from New Mexico?” \nIn the end\, Peralta was exonerated by officials in Mexico City\, but 400 years later\, scholars still discuss the history that unfolded because of what he did – or didn’t – do. \nThe Santa Fe 400th lecture series builds on Santa Fe Found: Fragments of Time\, an exhibition at the Palace of the Governors that explores the first 100 years of Santa Fe following its colonization. \nSánchez is director of the University of New Mexico’s Spanish Colonial Research Center and superintendent of the Petroglyph National Monument. Throughout his career\, he has researched archives in Spain\, Mexico\, France\, Italy and England and has published several studies on the Spanish frontiers in California\, Arizona\, New Mexico\, Texas\, and Alaska. Internationally recognized\, in May 2000\, he was awarded the Medalla de Acero al Mérito Histórico Capitán Alonso de León by the Sociedad Nuevoleonesa de Historia\, Geografía y Estadística\, Monterrey\, Mexico\, for his lifelong work in Colonial Mexican history. In April 2005\, he was inducted into the prestigious knighthood order of the Orden de Isabel la Católica by King don Juan Carlos of Spain. \nFunding for the Santa Fe Found exhibition and lecture series comes from the Palace Guard\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Gala Opening Committee; Friends of Archaeology\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Santa Fe 400th; and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/504-peralta-and-the-founding-of-santa-fe-a-santa-fe-400th-anniversary-lecture/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/504_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20100505T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100825T131500 DTSTAMP:20230614T175401Z CREATED:20120522T221321Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175401Z UID:10001848-1273061700-1282742100@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Artist of the Week: Docent Gallery Talks DESCRIPTION:A lunchtime series of gallery talks by NM Museum of Art Docents featuring artists on display in the Museum\, including Sole Mates: Cowboy Boots and Art. \nWednesdays at 12:15 FREE with museum admission (NM Seniors are free on Wednesdays; NM residents: $6; Adults $9; children 16 and under free; $1 discount for students). \nMay 2010 \n 5 Fritz Scholder 12 E.

The event costs $10. Tickets are available at the museum shops and at www.museumfoundation.org/tellingnm. \nNote: This event was originally scheduled for a lecture on World War II by Ferenc Szasz\, who has since encountered a health issue. Richard Melzer has graciously agreed to speak in his place. \nThe Civilian Conservation Corps was the most popular and successful program of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal during the Great Depression of the 1930s. For more than 3 million young men across the United States\, the CCC often made the difference between starvation and survival – not only for the enrollees\, but also their families back home. The men learned skills\, improved their education\, got healthy\, prepared themselves for service in World War II\, and\, most importantly\, came of age during hard economic times. Melzer has documented the CCC experience in New Mexico\, describing how this highly effective program benefited more than 50\,000 enrollees in the state and became\, for most men\, the turning points in their lives. \nToday\, their legacies still stand in projects at Elephant Butte Lake\, Rattlesnake Springs near Carlsbad Caverns\, and Bandelier National Monument. \nMelzer\, originally from Teddy Roosevelt's hometown of Oyster Bay\, N.Y.\, has lived in New Mexico since 1973 and has taught history at the University of New Mexico's Valencia Campus since 1979. He is the author of more than 100 articles about New Mexico history and the author\, co-author\, or editor of 12 books\, including Coming of Age in the Great Depression: The Civilian Conservation Corps Experience in New Mexico\, 1933-1942 (Las Cruces: Yucca Tree Press\, 2000). Melzer is a past president the Historical Society of New Mexico and current president of the Valencia County Historical Society. \nAmong the many honors he has received for writing\, teaching and service to his profession\, he is most proud of receiving the UNM’s 1995 Teacher of the Year award. \nThe History Museum includes exhibits dedicated to the Depression and the “alphabet soup” of programs that built roads and schoolhouses and nurtured a generation of artists\, writers and musicians. \nThe lecture series continues on Sunday\, Aug. 22\, when Jennifer Nez Denetdale\, Northern Arizona University associate history professor\, speaks on "Dine'/Navajo Women: At the Intersection of Nation\, Gender\, and Tradition." \n  \n  \n   \n  \n \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/546-new-mexicos-civilian-conservation-corps-experience-the-telling-new-mexico-inaugural-lecture-series/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/546_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20100502 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100503 DTSTAMP:20230614T175345Z CREATED:20100109T055133Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175345Z UID:10001767-1272758400-1272844799@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Poetry Reading DESCRIPTION:Join renown poets Joan Logghe and Miriam Sagan for poetry readings in conjuntion with the exhibition Material World: Textiles and Dress from the Collection.  By Museum admission\, New Mexico residents with I.D. free on Sundays\, youth 16 and under always free.

The event is free with museum admission. \nThe lecture is part of the Santa Fe Found lecture series that supports Santa Fe Found: Fragments of Time\, an exhibit at the Palace of the Governors exploring the roots of Santa Fe\, this year celebrating its 400th anniversary. The exhibit uses historic documents\, period paintings and archaeological artifacts to detail life in colonial Mexico and Spain’s far northern frontier. It includes sherds of blue-and-white mayólica pottery that once made up objects like an ink well\, also on display. From its origins in medieval Spain\, it endured first an ocean journey then an overland caravan to Santa Fe. \nBesides tracing that journey\, Gavin will look at the materials\, techniques and styles of mayólica\, as well as artists who still produce such work. Various styles of pottery from France\, Italy\, England and China influenced one another as well as the design and production of Pueblo pottery. \n“Through one single sherd\,” Gavin said\, “we can explore the colonial world – the lives of the potters who made them\, the places in which they were created\, their uses in churches\, conventos and homes\, the importance they lent to social occasions. \n“We can see the influence of Muslim art\, of Italian Renaissance art\, of Chinese porcelains brought to the Americas on the Manila galleons\, and of the French rococo style\, as well as Indian chintz fabrics and Staffordshire pottery. We can reconstruct the table settings of the 18th century from Spain to Mexico to New Mexico\, and we can imagine the social situations in which these vessels were a symbol as well as a necessity.” \nGavin is chief curator for the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and consulting curator of collections for El Rancho de las Golondrinas.  A Chicago native\, she has been the lead curator for more than 20 exhibitions at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and Museum of International Folk Art concerning the Spanish colonial arts of Mexico and New Mexico\, and has written several articles\, gallery guides\, and books on the subject. \nThe next lecture supporting the Santa Fe Found exhibition will be at 6 pm\, May 13\, when Joseph Sánchez\, director of UNM’s Spanish Colonial Research Center and director of the Petroglyph National Monument\, speaks on “Peralta and the Founding of Santa Fe. \nFunding for the Santa Fe Found exhibition and lecture series was made possible by the Palace Guard\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Gala Opening Committee; Friends of Archaeology\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Santa Fe 400th; and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/536-the-journey-of-mayolica-pottery-a-santa-fe-found-lecture/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/536_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20100417T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20100417T150000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175352Z CREATED:20100331T225719Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175352Z UID:10001805-1271512800-1271516400@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Gallery Talks: Blumenfeld\, Hamon\, and Tillinghast from Art on the Edge\, 2010 DESCRIPTION:Artists from the juried show\, Art on the Edge\, 2010\, will present gallery talks.

Pike and his men were taken to Santa Fe\, then to Chihuahua\, where he appeared before the Commandant General Salcedo. Salcedo housed Pike with Juan Pedro Walker\, a cartographer who also acted as an interpreter and transcriber for Pike's confiscated documents. While with Walker\, Pike had access to various maps of the Southwest and learned of Mexican discontent with Spanish rule. Pike and his men were released\, under protest\, to the United States at the Louisiana border on July 1\, 1807. \nPike's accounts dramatically changed exploration of the Southwest. His description of Chichuahuan politics led to the Mexican independence movement and improved trade conditions\, which promoted development of the Santa Fe Trail. \nThis event is free and open to the public. The lecture series is usually held at the Fray Angelico Chavez History Library\, 120 Washington Ave.; for large crowds\, the event will be moved next door to the John Gaw Meem Meeting Room.

The event begins in the History Museum Auditorium with a 4 p.m. lecture by Fried\, followed by a 6 p.m. dinner at La Fonda\, which will whip up “Chicken Lucrecio\,” among other delicacies from Harvey menus. \n \nSeating is limited for both events. Tickets include a signed copy of Appetite for America (Bantam/Random House\, 2010). The cost for the lecture is $50; the lecture with the dinner costs $95. Sponsorship tickets cost $200 and include preference seating at the lecture and dinner\, as well as a listing on the event poster. A limited number of a reduced-cost rooms at La Fonda are also available the evening of the event. \nTo purchase tickets to the event\, go to either of the History Museum’s shops\, call (505) 982-9543\, or log onto https://www.museumfoundation.org/HarveyHouse. \nFor La Fonda’s room reservations\, call (800) 523-5002\, ext. 1\, or send an e-mail to www.lafondasantafe.com/email-group.html; mention the “Harvey/NM History Museum event” in the subject line. \nAppetite for America is the story of Fred Harvey\, who came to the United States from England in the 1850s as a penniless teenager\, worked for saloons and the railroads and\, at the age of 40\, had a brilliant idea that changed America. His trackside eatery in Topeka\, Kansas\, grew into a powerful family business that forever changed the way Americans eat\, drink\, sleep\, travel and spend leisure time. \n  \n \nFred Harvey ended up building a revolutionary company feeding train passengers along the upstart Santa Fe railroad. With his son\, he expanded into the first national chain of restaurants\, hotels and bookstores from Chicago to California – even into the Grand Canyon. His beloved “Harvey Girls” were some of the first working women in America\, later inspiring an Oscar-winning movie starring Judy Garland. His firm introduced the country to Native American arts and culture and “Santa Fe Style.” \nStephen Fried brings a fresh eye to America’s expansion into the Wild West of Bat Masterson and Billy the Kid\, following the country and the company as they grew up together through the early days of trains\, autos and planes. The restaurant/hotels that Harvey and his equally brilliant son\, Ford\, built would be enjoyed by princes and presidents\, as well as countless ordinary travelers who simply wanted a travel experience grand enough to match the scenery. \nIn 1881\, Fred Harvey began arranging for tourists to visit Santa Fe from his eating house at the depot in Lamy. In the late 1890s\, his company began displaying and selling Native arts and crafts\, starting with its restaurant in Gallup\, but most visibly in Albuquerque’s Alvarado Hotel\, built in 1902. The hotel’s sales area\, designed by a young architect named Mary Colter\, had a look that came to be known as “Santa Fe Style.” Colter worked with famed architect John Gaw Meem on expanding La Fonda from 1924-30 and\, in 1949\, designed the hotel’s lounge\, using Spanish and Indian designs. \nIn 1915\, Harvey worked with the Santa Fe community\, including Museum of New Mexico founder Edgar Hewett and his protégé\, Jesse Nusbaum\, to create a 10-acre\, full-scale Pueblo for the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Among those who lived at the exhibit was a young Maria Martinez\, who would later gain fame for her San Ildefonso pottery. \nHistoric documents show that an inn\, or fonda\, has long stood on the southeastern corner of the Santa Fe Plaza. During the 19th century\, La Fonda became the preferred destination of trappers\, soldiers\, gold seekers\, gamblers and politicians. Through the Civil War\, railroad expansion and New Mexico statehood in 1912\, the old adobe structure changed hands and names several times but remained a Santa Fe landmark. The Harvey company purchased it 1926. Debuting in 1929\, it offered the nation’s first version of cultural tourism: “Indian Detours” that carried tourists to nearby pueblos in touring vehicles. An exhibit on the History Museum’s mezzanine level pays homage to the Harvey era. \nBusinessman Sam Ballen purchased La Fonda in 1968; his family has continued his legacy of combining historic preservation with modern amenities. \nFried’s insights into the Harvey empire include how the company managed to foster an early “foodie” generation in some of the most remote locales; how Harvey’s granddaughter saw and nurtured the talents of a 9-year-old Hopi named Fred Kabotie\, who became a premier Native artist; how pre-publication orders for his newsstands and bookshops affected national bestseller lists. \n For more on Fred Harvey’s impact on New Mexico and the American West\, go to http://media.museumofnewmexico.org/press_releases.php?action=detail&releaseID=71.

The exhibition opens at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture April 11\, 2010 and will run through March 6\, 2011. \nThere are important ties between Huichol work and Native American\, prehispanic\, and Hispanic art histories and cultures. Known today for colorful\, decorative yarn paintings\, the origins of modern Huichol art are found in the earlier Huichol religious arts of the Robert M. Zingg ethnographic collection at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. \nHuichol Art and Culture: Balancing the World focuses on the Huichol\, a Native American people of western Mexico who for many centuries have retained their unique culture and prehispanic religious beliefs. Their remote location in the rugged Sierra Madre Occidental mountains primarily in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit has allowed for greater resistance than any other indigenous group to the forces of Christianization and acculturation. The Huichol people today continue to create traditional art and practice ancient rituals that predate the time of Spanish contact. \nFrom 1934-1935\, Dr. Robert Mowry Zingg (1900–1957) was the first American anthropologist to conduct extended ethnographic fieldwork among the Huichol in the community of Tuxpan de Bolaños. Zingg lived with Huichol families and participated in everyday life\, while studying their mythology and ceremonialism. Huichol Art and Culture: Balancing the World presents the collection of Huichol artifacts which Zingg collected on behalf of the Laboratory of Anthropology during the earliest years of its history as an institution.  \nIn the past and today\, Huichol art is made to communicate with a pantheon of ancestors and gods. When Zingg arrived in Tuxpan\, he found that most Huichol adults were occupied with making art. As he observed\, the Huichol constantly create offerings which serve as visual prayers to the gods. As part of the ceremonial cycle\, the Huichol make pilgrimages to leave offerings at sacred sites. \nCeremonial offerings to the gods are the precursors to the art of modern Huichol yarn painting. Early Huichol votive art evolved into art produced for sale beginning in the 1950s\, when artists adapted traditional techniques\, designs\, and materials to “paint” in yarn. Sophisticated and vibrant Huichol yarn paintings have now become renowned in the global art market.   \nAmong the highlights of the Zingg collection are outstanding examples of ancient\, symbolic textile designs that were intricately woven on backstrap looms by Huichol women. The collection features prayer arrows\, richly decorated votive gourd bowls\, and other offerings for the gods. Oversized shamans’ chairs and diminutive gods’ chairs are unique to Huichol ceremonies. Colorful macaw feathers\, beaded jewelry\, deerskin quivers\, embroidered clothing\, and hats adorned with feathers\, squirrel tails\, and ribbons all attest to a time and a culture where art objects were made for everyday and ceremonial use\, not tourist consumption. \nThe concept of balance is central to Huichol art and culture. The balancing of opposites\, such as the wet and dry seasons\, or darkness and light\, is a prevalent theme in Huichol art. Huichol ceremonies are performed and offerings are made to keep the world in balance\, ensuring successful crops and hunting\, fertility\, and health. Today\, the Huichol say that they continue to make art and perform the centuries-old rituals not just for their own people\, but for the benefit of everyone in the world. \nThe concept of balancing opposites\, so central to Huichol culture\, is also basic to the Pueblo worldview and is seen in Pueblo architecture\, government\, and ceremony. A further connection to Pueblo culture can be found in the Uto-Aztecan language of the Huichol. It is related to the language of the ancient Aztecs of central Mexico\, to the Cora\, to the Tohono O’odham and Hopi of Arizona\, and to the Tanoan languages of the Northern Rio Grande region of New Mexico. \nZingg\, who spent his youth in northern New Mexico\, noted a similarity in “the richness of the ceremonial life of both the Huichols and the Pueblos.” He and other scholars have drawn parallels between the two cultures\, including the importance of the cardinal directions and elaborate religious symbolism in art and decoration involving the deer\, fire\, rain\, corn\, and concepts of growth and fertility.

"My Penitente Land\," a free\, public event\, takes place from 10 am to 4:30 pm on Saturday\, April 10\, in the museum auditorium (enter from Washington Avenue). \nThe symposium will gather the general public and scholars to exchange thoughts on Fray Angélico’s influence on New Mexico and share their stories about him. \n“Fray Angélico’s love was New Mexico\, its history and culture\,” said Tomas Jaehn\, director of the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library. “Interested in the people who settled New Mexico\, he is well-know for his work in genealogy.  At least once a month\, a patron visiting the Library tells me\, `I knew Fray Angélico personally.’” \nSpeakers at the symposium will include Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan\, poet Jimmy Santiago Baca\, authors Nasario Garcia\, Ellen McCracken\, whose biography of Fray Angélico was just published by the University of New Mexcio Press\, and Thomas Chávez\, former director of the Palace of the Governors and a nephew of Fray Angélico  (See the full schedule below.) \nBorn Manuel Ezequiel Chávez in Wagon Mound\, N.M.\, Fray Angélico was a noted priest\, writer\, painter and historian. Ordained as a Franciscan friar\, he served several parishes in New Mexico and was instrumental in renovating the church in Peña Blanca – a true hands-on effort. The murals he painted of the Stations of the Cross used images of himself\, his family and parishioners. He also renovated churches in Domingo Station\, Golden and Cerrillos. \nAs an Army chaplain\, he was present for the World War II beach landings at Guam and Leyte and\, during the Korean War\, was stationed at Fort Bliss\, Texas\, and Kaiserslautern\, Germany. \nUpon his return\, Chávez was appointed archivist of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe\, where he catalogued and translated the Church’s Spanish archives. As noted in a biography on the Web site of the New Mexico Office of the State Historian: \n"While digging for the golden nuggets of Franciscan history in the archdiocesan archives\, he instead came across baptismal\, marriage\, and death records that revealed much about the families who had settled the region. He wrote: “It was like the case of a miner who sifted a hill of ore for gold\, setting aside any silver he encountered; in the end the silver far outweighed the gold. The only thing to do was to render the silver useful.” He compiled the silver and published the Origins of New Mexico Families: A Genealogy of the Spanish Colonial Period in 1954. Genealogists searching for their familial roots have found the book invaluable." \nChávez is perhaps best known for writing La Conquistadora\, the Autobiography of an Ancient Statue about the figure of the Virgin Mary revered by parishioners of St. Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe. He also wrote short stories\, novels and poetry. T.S. Eliot called his poem\, The Virgin of Port Lligat in 1959 a “very commendable achievement.” \nAfter his death in 1996\, the History Library was named in his honor\, and a bronze statue of him graces its entrance. A self-portrait is on display in the Palace of the Governors’ Portrait Gallery\, and it carries an interesting tale. Painted in 1939 as an “idle sketch” on a board by Fray Angélico in 1939\, it was later trimmed down to repair a drawer in the convent at Peña Blanca. \nIn 1970\, someone cleaning out the drawers happened upon it. Fray Angélico donated it to the museum\, writing: “I thought you might display it more as a curiosity than a work of art.” \nA finely rendered sketch of the young friar\, the portrait is\, contrary to his recommendation\, displayed as a work of art. \nThe symposium schedule: \n10-10:25 am: Frances Levine\, director of the New Mexico History Museum; Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan\, Archdiocese of Santa Fe \n10:30-10:40: Jimmy Santiago Baca\, poet \n10:40-10:55: Fabian Chávez\, former legislative leader\, longtime public servant and brother of Fray Angélico \n11-11:30: Nasario Garcia\, professor emeritus of Hispanic Languages and Literatures \n11:35-12:05: Thomas E.

Philatelists will surely flock to this onetime event\, where first-day cancellations will be available on site. Seating is limited at this free\, public event. \n \nDuring World War II\, military readers got a knowing laugh from Mauldin’s characters Willie and Joe\, who gave their civilian audience an idea of what life was like for soldiers. After the war\, Mauldin became a popular and influential editorial cartoonist. \nThe History Museum's core exhibition\, Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then and Now\, includes a section on World War II that attendees will be able to tour after the unveiling. \nWilliam Henry Mauldin was born on October 29\, 1921\, in Mountain Park\, New Mexico\, where his family had a farm with apple orchards. He is said to have made impressive drawings before he could talk\, and his mother kept him supplied with paper and pencils. Though thin\, sickly\, and given to daydreams\, he was tough and scrappy. When a teacher scolded him for doodling in class\, he replied that he couldn’t think without drawing. \nWhile leafing through a magazine in 1935\, Mauldin saw an advertisement for a correspondence course in cartooning. The ad suggested that cartoonists could make a good living; seeing this as a way to capitalize on his natural ability\, Mauldin enrolled in the course. He began offering his services as a freelance artist to the community at large\, and was hired to create various forms of advertising. \nIn 1936\, Mauldin moved with his older brother to Phoenix\, Arizona\, and went to high school while continuing to do freelance work. He also worked as an editorial cartoonist for the school newspaper. At the age of 17\, Mauldin went to Chicago\, where he enrolled in the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. He diligently sent work to prospective buyers\, with discouraging results. Unemployment was high\, and war was beginning in Europe. \nAfter returning to Phoenix in 1940\, Mauldin enlisted in the Arizona National Guard. Days later\, the Arizona Guard was federalized and Mauldin found himself in the United States Army. His first Army cartoons were published that year in 45th Division News. The war took Mauldin to North Africa and then to Europe; he was in Italy in 1943\, when his work began appearing in Stars and Stripes\, a large daily newspaper then published by an independent unit of the headquarters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower\, the Allied commander. \nIn Stars and Stripes\, Mauldin’s cartoons first appeared under the title “Up Front … with Mauldin.” He subsequently changed the name to “Up Front … by Mauldin” because\, though he was at the front—and received the Purple Heart after being struck by a fragment of mortar—he never drew in a foxhole and was strictly rear-echelon. Commenting later on his injury\, he said\, “I had been cut worse sneaking through barbed-wire fences in New Mexico.” \nMauldin’s work made him a hero to many military men\, who could tell he was on the side of the lowly soldier in a time when glamorous fighter pilots got more attention. His sympathy for “dogfaces” (the slang term for soldiers in the infantry) was clearly expressed in his presentation of his unshaven protagonists\, Willie and Joe. The celebrated war correspondent Ernie Pyle touched off wider interest in Mauldin’s work when he wrote admiringly\, “Bill Mauldin appears to us over here to be the finest cartoonist the war has produced. And that’s not merely because his cartoons are funny\, but because they are also terribly grim and real.” \nFor civilian readers back home\, Mauldin’s syndicated cartoons offered an eye-opening look at the experience—sleeping in barns\, dodging bullets in foxholes\, and so on—of American soldiers in Europe. Above all\, his cartoons show the tedium of war; when there is heroism\, it’s understated. With humor or small acts of kindness\, Willie and Joe support each other in grim circumstances. \nSome of Mauldin’s cartoons touched on relations between officers and enlisted men. In one panel\, two officers admire the scenery from a mountaintop\, with one exclaiming\, “Beautiful view! Is there one for the enlisted men?” Gen. George S. Patton publicly questioned Mauldin’s patriotism—among other things\, he objected to the bedraggled appearance of Willie and Joe—but Mauldin’s success and growing fame protected him from serious repercussions. \nAnother iconic cartoon depicted a cavalryman shooting his disabled jeep. Mauldin later commented proudly on this effort: “It is one of those cartoon ideas you think up rarely; it has simplicity\, it tells a story\, it doesn’t need words. It is\, I believe\, the very best kind of cartoon.” \nBy the time Mauldin came home to the United States in 1945\, he was famous. He won a Pulitzer Prize “for distinguished service as a cartoonist” and the Allied high command awarded him its Legion of Merit. His illustrated memoir\, Up Front\, was a bestseller. That same year\, his “dogface” Willie appeared on the cover of Time. \nAfter the war\, Mauldin grew tired of censorship battles with editors and temporarily retired from cartooning to try his hand at a variety of freelance endeavors. He acted in two films (Teresa and The Red Badge of Courage)\, covered the Korean War for Collier’s\, and made an unsuccessful run for Congress in New York’s 28th Congressional district\, losing narrowly to the Republican incumbent. In 1958\, he took a job as a cartoonist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The following year\, he won a second Pulitzer Prize for his cartoon portraying Boris Pasternak\, author of Doctor Zhivago\, as a Soviet prisoner: “I won the Nobel Prize for Literature. What was your crime?” \nSome of Mauldin’s other targets during these years were segregationists and red-baiters. In 1962\, he joined the staff of the Chicago Sun-Times\, where one of his most famous cartoons\, drawn on tight deadline after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy\, expressed the nation’s grief by showing a monumental Abraham Lincoln burying his head in his hands. The Sun-Times later sent Mauldin to Vietnam to observe the war there firsthand. An irreverent memoir\, The Brass Ring\, was published in 1971. \nSuffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other complications\, Bill Mauldin died at age 81 on January 22\, 2003\, at a nursing home in Newport Beach\, California. He had received mail and visits there from many combat veterans hoping to lift his spirits much as Willie and Joe had lifted theirs during the war nearly 60 years earlier. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. \nU.S. Postal Service art director Terry McCaffrey chose to honor Mauldin through a combination of photography and an example of Mauldin’s art. The photo of Bill Mauldin is by John Phillips\, a photographer for Life magazine; it was taken in Italy on December 31\, 1943. Mauldin’s cartoon\, showing his characters Willie and Joe\, is used courtesy of the 45th Infantry Division Museum in Oklahoma City\, Oklahoma. \n  \n   \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/667-bill-mauldin-postage-stamp-unveiling-a-free-public-event/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/667_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marlon Magdalena":MAILTO:marlon.magdalena GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
