Beskrivning

2023 Honorable Mention, Jonathan Brown Award, Society for Iberian Global Art (SIGA)Painted Cloth explores the production, meaning, and representation of garments used in civil and religious settings across Latin America during the 1700s. Both the exhibition at the Blanton Museum of Art and this accompanying catalogue, reflect on the ways in which clothing played an essential role in articulating socioeconomic, gender, and racial identity among various Indigenous groups, African slaves, Spanish colonizers, and their mixed-raced descendants. The project spotlights aesthetic components of the artistic production of the Spanish Americas while also encouraging wider conversations about the impact of the colonial period in shaping the social fabric of the region. In addition to a foreword by Blanton director Simone Wicha, and an introduction and essay by Rosario I. Granados, Painted Cloth features essays by Julia McHugh, Trent A. Carmichael Curator of Academic Initiatives at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University; Ana Paulina GÁmez, independent scholar and curator in Mexico City; Ricardo Kusonoki, Curator of Colonial and Republican Art, Museo de Arte de Lima; Patricia DiÌaz Cayeros, fulltime researcher, Instituto de Investigaciones EsteÌticas, Universidad Nacional AutoÌnoma de MeÌxico; and Maya Stanfield-Mazzi, associate professor of art history, University of Florida Gainesville.

Featuring 75 objects-paintings, sculptures, prints, furnishings, clothing and other textiles-[Painted Cloth] documents a dynamic exchange of ideas, images and styles across Latin America and beyond in the 1700s. (Wall Street Journal) The catalog, like the exhibition, successfully uses the popular topic of fashion to present, for a broad audience, a complicated history of colonialism, race, class, and gender in Latin America...nuanced, fashionable, and easily accessible. (Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture) The catalog, like the exhibition, successfully uses the popular topic of fashion to present, for a broad audience, a complicated history of colonialism, race, class, and gender in Latin America...nuanced, fashionable, and easily accessible. (Colonial Latin American Review) Painted Cloth is an indispensable introduction to the tradition of translating cloth into painting and sculpture in the Spanish colonial Americas. The catalog’s rich portrait of self-fashioning represents a critical contribution to art history. In particular, it challenges the binary conceptions and stereotypes that have historically informed the presentation of women in the fiercely-patriarchal colonial society. (CAA Reviews)
