Synopsis

This catalogue is published in conjunction with an exhibition presented at The Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, Texas during the first quarter of 2001, and scheduled to travel to several venues. Vargas was born in 1950, in San Antonio, in a poor Black and Latino section of town; she still lives in the house in which she grew up, although she has exhibited, taught, and worked far and wide. Curator Wilson-Powell supplies an introduction; and Lucy Lippard, a close friend of Vargas and collector of her work, writes insightfully about her life and development as an artist. Forty-two color plates of photographs and hand colored gelatin silver prints give a retrospective look at the great power and emotion of Vargas's images. Distributed by the U. of Texas Press.
