This exhibition showcases art from the fifteenth century and early sixteenth century with Lord of Texcoco and the Texas Fragment. These two pieces represent post-Conquest art, and how indigenous figures were represented with European influence. In the seventeenth century, Antonio Rodriguez painted The Portrait of Moctezuma as well. His representation of Moctezuma showcases traditional clothing with European influence of modeling figures. This exhibition also features Miguel Cabrera, who was trained in European techniques and styles in Mexico during the eighteenth century under the patronage of Archbishop of Mexico, Manuel Joseph Rubio y Salinas. The exhibition features various artists from the nineteenth century as well, such as Felix Parra, Leandro Izaguirre, and Juan Cordero from the Royal Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City. Artists in the academy were trained in European styles of Neo-Classical forms to create their historical subjects. The purpose of the academy was to provide an outlet for legitimacy through the visual arts, and to reflect a nation's history. Often times, these paintings were political in nature, and reflected the patrons' wishes. This exhibition will link the representations of indigenous figures that appeared in Latin America through art in Mexico from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century and showcase how art

Fernando Botero's style is arguably one of the most distinctive of artists still alive today. Embracing a sweeping aesthetic that attempts to celebrate the vivacity of life with seemingly disproportionately enlarged figures, Botero's style celebrates an assortment of riotous colors while alternating between scenes of his native Columbia and social-political themes (Haas). An examination of the development of Botero's style indicates that it has a number of disparate sources and influences which informed the artist, who ultimately refined and merged them with characteristics from his own life to render works that are inimitably his own. An analysis of key works of artistry from Botero support the hypothesis that his larger-than-life style of painting and sculpture was conceived of as a means of conveying the richness and complexity of the events, feelings and actions that constitute the scope of life itself.

Artworks have played an indelible work to the lives of humanity. The creative nature in Artists is a complex matter to define. The uncertainties in the intrinsic nature in art lay difficult aspects that can only be answered by values, themes and skills depicted in an artist artwork. Apart from playing the intricate psychological effect on humans, the artworks have been used as a tool of expression that has been revered and uniquely preserved for future generation. Among some of the most revered modern forms of artwork has included Chicano Art that had a core relationship to Las Carpas, Indigenismo, rascuachismo and other forms of performance art.

Nation's history and culture have definitely a great effect in the art conception in every country. The same way it has a bigger meaning and influence in people that share their traditions. I found really interesting how this empathy multiplies when people happen to be far from their homeland. This is why I chose “Jose Marti” by Roberto Fabelo for this report. “Fabelo”, as he is best known, is a painter, sculptor and illustrator, he was born in Cuba in 1951.

Tucson Museum of Art is one of the biggest and famous art museums not only in Tucson, but also in the whole state of Arizona. Luckily, I had an honor to actually visit it during this semester. This year, the main topic of these art works in this exhibition was Latin American and Western artworks, however the museum also added eight new exhibitions in the main Museum galleries for the annual El Nacimiento installation in the historic La Casa Cordova. Even I didn’t really read Spanish but by seeing all those new galleries I was so sure I was lucky enough to see them this year. It was quiet fantastic to see over fifty different art pieces displayed in this museum. Although I had a hard time to understand some of those art works since they

Simply put, Don Manuel Osorio Manrique De Ziga is a great piece of art. The colours used in the piece were very well used. The meaning was very easy for me to find in the piece. I had also learned a very important life lesson from the piece. Don Manuel Osorio Manrique De Ziga captures how fleeting a child’s innocence can be through its powerful colours and imagery.

A. Fernando Botero, a Colombian artist , is one of the most famous still living Latin American sculptor and artist in the world. I chose this artist, because he is Colombian like me, and because of his unique style of painting like no others. The artworks I will be analyzing are the “ Still life of Mandolin “ and “ Pablo Escobar’s Death “ .

While visiting the Museum of Fine Arts – Houston, the infamous Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism, 1910-1950 exhibits on display. According to the museum label, this exhibit displays the “development of modern art in Mexico and the social, political, and cultural forces” that shaped it over the course of nearly half a century (MFA-Houston), mainly images depicted of the Mexican Revolution from the eyes of artists during this time period. This monumental revolution transformed Mexico.

This critical analysis effectively describes and interpret the artwork of Christo Javacheff and his wife and co-worker Jeanne-Claude, where four areas are to be assessed; the use of colour, light illusion, use of material and the paradoxical perceptions of the monumental installations. The aesthetics of the work such as line, shape, form and colour impact the nature and feelings around the work in a way that changes our perceptions on art and architecture in life as a whole. There is a connection to many of Juan Pallasmaa’s theories in his book “The Eyes of the Skin”, which can be applied to Christo’s majestic installations. Pallasmaa makes it clear that architecture and artwork have a strong impact on enhancement of one’s own life and morals when he explains how “architecture has to address all the senses simultaneously and fuse our image of self with our experience of the world” (Pallasmaa p. 11). This statement reflects on the work of Christo Javacheff, an Bulgarian-American artist, born in 1935, where his purpose is to work with authentic objects and spaces in order to absorb all kind of interpretation (Kavass p.152) Wrapping objects and marking areas with fabric is to be Christo

We were assigned to make a piece of art to tribute our artist that best puts him or her in thought. There were nine groups honoring nine different artists. I feel that the tribute to Dario Escobar was truly the most effective. Escobar is a well-known artist born in Guatemala. He is famous for his many abstract ideas for artwork and his theme for many of his work being made of sports gear and some covered in gold leaf. I will prove the effectiveness of Escobar’s tribute from the group’s presentation and the principles and elements of art used by the group.

While some artists, like Lluïsa Vidal, were forgotten for decades, the Catalonian government is clearly proud of the Modernisme artists and has done a spectacular job of preserving and promoting their work, making it accessible for generations to come. Their work, along with the dedication of the current owners of El Quatre Gats is vital to showcasing a significant and fascinating moment in artistic history. Though the Modernisme movement was brief, multi-faceted, and not always coherent, it is easy to be entranced by the skill of the artists and one cannot help but imagine how incredible it would be to take a table in the corner of El Quatre Gats and enjoy an evening of varied artistic

Over the years, Brazilian culture played an important role in Western civilization. In order to learn more about Brazilian culture up close, I had a chance to visit Histories: Contemporary Art from Brazil" and "Sandra Cinto: Chance and Necessity which is located at USF Contemporary Art Museum. The museum has some artworks done by an Brazilian artists whose approaches address the varied histories of Brazil, some collective, some individual, but all rooted in reflections on the country’s complicated past and present, and vast geographical, racial, and cultural wealth and diversity. I believe this visit is a rich experience for me about the value of art in providing culture and history differently. In other words,

Lygia Clark’s work transcends her time and continues to become relevant in our post-modern world. Her work is recognized today as one of the founding bodies of Brazil and is important internationally. Her artistic path holds a position in the critical movement that changed the art world in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Clark’s work has continued to define

In 2003, Magali Maria Carrera published her book: Imagining Identity in New Spain: Race, Lineage and the Colonial Body in Portraiture and Casta paintings and presents a dissenting argument to Katzew’s earlier one. Carrera received her Masters of Arts, Masters of Philosophy and PhD from Columbia University. Currently, she teaches courses on the art and culture of ancient Peru and Mexico, classes on traditional African and feminist theory and survey courses. In this way, Carrera was also educated in Anglo-American world, but comes from a more academic background than the curatorial focus of Katzew’s career. Carrera is interested in reconstructing how casta paintings would have been understood by contemporary viewers. In the preface, Carrera asserts

"Pararrayos" (lightning rod in Spanish) is a project that brings together the work of twelve contemporary painters established in Mexico and aims to strengthen the projection of Mexican art abroad, in this case, in Germany. This exhibition, which is within the catalog of cultural activities of the Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will be put on show at the Embassy of Mexico in Germany from August 6th to September 30th, 2015.
