This edited volume’s chief aim is to bring together, in an English-language source, the principal histories and narratives of some of the most significant academies and national schools of art in South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. The book highlights not only issues shared by Latin American academies of art but also those that differentiate them from their European counterparts. Authors examine issues including statutes, the influence of workshops and guilds, the importance of patronage, discourses of race and ethnicity in visual pedagogy, and European models versus the quest for national schools. It also offers first-time English translations of many foundational documents from several significant academies and schools. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Latin American and Hispanic studies, and modern visual cultures.
This research represents an analytical reading of the critical texts written in Colombia regarding the art of noted and most important 18th century painter, Gregorio Vásquez Ceballos. It covers the first monographic study by Groot "Noticia biográfica de Gregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos, pintor granadino del siglo XVIII" published in 1859 to the 21st century. The intention is to follow the critical thinking around offering a new light in the history of art criticism in Colombia as well as a guide to this important artist intended as a critical study of the painter and his art.
Historias del arte en Colombia presenta nuevos relatos sobre el arte producido, consumido, usado e inspirado en este país, a partir de veintiún estudios de caso. Por medio de cuatro ejes temáticos —identidades, materialidades, migraciones y geografías—, propone lecturas distintas de los procesos artísticos en territorio colombiano, al explorar las obras más allá de los movimientos, las cronologías y los nombres más conocidos. Sus protagonistas son platos, pendientes, dibujos, fotografías, pinturas de caballete y mural, esculturas e instalaciones, entre otras obras en su mayoría ignoradas por la historiografía nacional.
