Tweed Museum of Art
The Tweed is proud to announce an exhibition of photographic art by the world renown contemporary artist, Luis González Palma.
Over the past decade, Luis González Palma has become recognized as one of the most influential photographers in Latin America. The artist employs photo-collage and hand painted warm toned photog...raphic images that are easily identified for their color and mysterious, sometimes theatrical scenes. His innovative visual language is rich in the symbolism of indigenous myth and culture, Catholicism and humanity. González Palma's photographs are marked by visual texture and symbolism reflective of Latin America's legacy of colonialism, the subjugation of the native cultures of his home country Guatemala and, more recently, the vague complexities of interpersonal relationships. The work has been celebrated both for its poetry as well as its profound beauty.
Luis González Palma, who is now based in Argentina, has enjoyed enthusiastic reception from audiences throughout the world and has been the subject of numerous essays and books throughout Latin America, Europe and the US. In the 1999 Arena edition of Luis González Palma’s monograph, Poems of Sorrows, essayist John Wood writes: “His landscape is not that of Guatemala but that of the soul, and it is filled with angels as well as terrifying, mythic beasts. The shadows that pervade it are cast not from politics but from the sorrows of the human condition. For all the pain in González Palma’s work, he never takes us to those Gates of Hell where, Dante told us, we must abandon all hope. His subject may be grief, but it is not despair.”
According to Luis González Palma, “I am trying to show that the concepts of solitude, pain, and marginality are not merely problems of the present or past, but are the conditions of our existence”
Free and open to the public, the Tweed Museum of Art is located in Ordean Court on the campus of the University of Minnesota Duluth. 218-726-8222.
Museum hours are Tues 9 am -8pm, Wed –Fri 9am -4:30 pm, Sat & Sun 1-5 pm.

The Tweed Museum of Art, presents Andy Warhol: Pop and Polaroid, an exhibition of photographs by the iconic American artist, Andy Warhol,
August 25th, 2009 – May 16th, 2010.
Painter, printmaker and filmmaker, prolific, iconic and influential, Andy Warhol made an enduring mark on the American cultural landscape of t...he 1960s and 1970s. Warhol’s appetite for popular culture included making tens of thousands of popular-personality photos. The Tweed Museum of Art wishes to announce that a select set of Warhol Polaroids and black and white prints will be on exhibition.
The photographs are a recent acquisition of the Museum thanks to a gift from the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy program that was launched in 2007 in celebration of the Warhol Foundation’s 20th Anniversary. Over 28,500 Warhol photographs were donated to 160 college and university museums, galleries and art collections throughout the nation. Each received a set of original Polaroid photographs and gelatin silver prints.
The photographs range from celebrity portraits to painting subjects that collectively demonstrate the range of Warhol’s aesthetic interests and the reach of his curious roving eye. Especially notable are the Polaroid portraits that reveal the artist’s frank engagement and fascination with extroverted personalities.
Warhol often used these photographs as the basis for commissioned portraits, silkscreen paintings, drawings, and prints. He published three books, one posthumously, featuring his black and white photographic work: Andy Warhol’s Exposures (1979), America (1985) and Andy Warhol’s Party Book (1988). Together with the photographic exhibitions that began in the early 1990s, they offer the public a glimpse into Warhol’s artistic practice.

Over 75 years ago the Northwest Paper Company of Cloquet, Minnesota recruited the image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or Mounties, to advertise its papers to the printing industry. The company wanted to establish a corporate identity that would reflect the integrity of its product. By the 1930s, the image of ...the Mountie as a strong, successful figure from the Great Northwest had been firmly established in American popular culture through film, fiction, photographs, toys and souvenirs. With these associations, the Mountie promised to maintain the right image for the company.
These images, reproduced for nearly seventy-five years on Northwest Paper/Potlatch calendars, notepads, broadsides, and print ads, have long been collected by those seeking images of the "northwoods," as exemplified by the pioneering deeds of the steadfast Mountie.
A variety of Mountie merchandise is currently available in the museum store. In celebration of the RCMP exhibition; the Tweed Museum Store is offering 20% off all Mountie merchandise, from May 23 rd through September 7th.
Free and open to the public, the Tweed Museum of Art is located in Ordean Court on the campus of the University of Minnesota Duluth. Museum and Museum Store hours are Tues 9 am -8pm, Wed –Fri 9am -4:30 pm, Sat & Sun 1-5 pm.
