April 2013

April - July 7….Museum of Texas Tech presents: Fresco y Dicho: Frederico M. Vigil - The Museum of Texas Tech University is pleased to present Fresco y Dicho: Frederico M. Vigil, a contemporary New Mexican master. Frederico Vigil creates frescos, rather buon frescos (true frescos), paintings in which ground pigments are applied to wet plaster. The paintings and the wall or ceiling become one as the pigments seep into the wet plaster and bind with it. This classic and ancient mural technique, used by such accomplished artists as Michelangelo and Diego Rivera, is well suited for painting large images that permanently decorate the walls of buildings. Vigil worked for over nine years on these paintings that depict Hispanic culture from prehistory to the present. The frescos, which cover more that 4,000 square feet, opened to the public in 2010. Close inspection of these drawings will reward each viewer with abundant information about how the artist used them to guide the creation of his frescos.
