About the Item
"My head is somewhere near the intersections of the fields of art, history, psychology, engineering, and religion," Dan Wingren was quoted as saying, when he was named the Meadows Distinguished Teaching Professor at Southern Methodist University in 1988. When given this award, his colleage Mary Vernon said of him, "Dan Wingren is a painter of quite limpid grace. Whether one speaks of the earlier Wingren more concerned with dreams and fantasies or the contemporary Wingren who catches the breath of trees, the lumpiness of stones, in transparent glazes of color, the way he paints is attentive and loving. The student sees Dan Wingren give all his attention to the world, and then the student knows how to take a step in the same direction."
Dan Wingren was born in Dallas on January 13, 1923. When he was nine, the Wingrens moved to a little farmhouse on a hilltop in Irving. The road that runs near the place is now called Wingren Road. Upon graduating from the Irving public schools, he served in the Pacific with the Army Corps of Engineers. He attended Southern Methodist University on the GI Bill, earning a BA in 1947. He received his MFA in painting from the University of Iowa in 1949. He taught at The University of Texas from 1950 to 1958, Trinity University in 1961, and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts from 1963 to 1965. The great part of his teaching career was at SMU, where he taught from 1946 to 1947, and from 1965 to 1981, and influenced a great number of students along the way.
Outside of his teaching career, he served as the Director of the San Antonio Art Institute from 1958 through 1961, and served as the Deputy Director of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth for nine years, after his retirement from SMU.
His works are in numerous public collections including the Dallas Museum of Art; the Witte Museum and the Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum, both in San Antonio; university collections including Southern Methodist University and The University of Texas; The Carnegie Institute; and the Musee Nationale d'Art Modern in Paris.

Calvert’s current paintings investigate the relationship between digital media and the reception and perception of images, and utilizes diverse technologies such as fresco, 3D modeling, AI and data manipulation through code. She is especially interested in the evolution of pictorial space. Today we view our screens and the world they occupy as a shallowly layered space of overlapping desktop windows. The picture plane has tilted up again from the flatbed to float in front of our eyes. Calvert’s paintings in turn depict an intermediate space, where the verticality of the still life paintings cohabitate with these digital panes.
Dutch floral still life paintings encapsulate multiple concerns. Their subjects were botanical fantasies, emblems of an economic mirage that has contemporary corollaries. Most important to Calvert’s pictorial concerns, they depict ephemeral things in shallow and diagrammatic space - they are all foreground. They contain an abundance of visual information in overwhelming density, creating an allover resolution; a visual field that is equivalent to digital noise. By making painterly interventions into reproductions, Calvert attempts to dissolve the layer between the resolution of the source image and abstraction of the painted mark.
