Finding Caspicara
"Caspicara was the most renowned sculptor of the eighteenth-century Andean world. Yet many works that are attributed to this Indigenous artist cannot be firmly documented as he is nearly absent in traditional archival records. Susan Webster seeks to analyze not only the visual imagery and material culture of his many works, but she also seeks to lay the foundation for understanding how scholars can revive the life and records of artists and other historical figures--many of whom were Indigenous in this period--with different methodologies. By cultivating artistic theory, popular religious devotion, and specific styles of sculpture, Webster's examination of the labor and workshop practices of...
Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 76
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.

Namban Mexico
"In the present volume, Rivero Lake deals with the activities of people from New Spain in Japan and he also describes the reactions to the first Japanese visitors who arrived in Acapulco in ships they themselves had built in their quest for new markets or on their way to the Spanish court and the Holy See. In addition, he shares the opinions of recent, local chroniclers on the possible evidence of their stay." "The book also provides information on schools of painters and artistic and craft techniques in Japan. These were employed in products sent as merchandise in trade strictly controlled by the powerful Consulate of Mexico - the "aniversity of merchants" - or that perhaps had arrived among the belongings of passengers and crew members who faced the dangers of the "return voyage" of the China Galleon to New Spain."--BOOK JACKET.
Mefisto
The exquisite still lifes of Alberto Iriarte (1920-1993), known as Mefisto, have remained Colombia's best kept artistic secret of the 20th century, despite having been exhibited in Paris, Barranquilla, and Bogotá. Nonetheless, Colombian art history cannot fail to honor Mefisto as one of its most influential painters. This book displays the complete selection of his strange and beautiful still life paintings, collected together for the first time. Las naturalezas muertas pintadas por Alberto Iriarte (1920-1993), llamado Mefisto, continúan siendo las obras colombianas más secretas del siglo veinte, aunque fueron exhibidas en París, Barranquilla, y Bogotá. Sin embargo, la historia del arte colombiano no puede ignorar la influenza sustancial y la importancia artística que tenía Mefisto durante su vida. Por primera vez, sus naturalezas muertas extrañas y provocativas han sido coleccionadas en este volumen sustancial.

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.
