Download or read book Folk Treasures of Mexico written by Marion Oettinger, Jr. and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his foreword, former New York governor and vice president of the United States Nelson A. Rockefeller remembers his first trip to Mexico in 1933 and his subsequent, life-long fascination with the Mexican people and their popular art. Rockefeller's collection of more than 3,000 pieces of Mexican folk art is widely considered to be the most exceptional in the U.S., and Folk Treasures of Mexico celebrates these icons, created from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, with more than 150 photos of the pieces, many of which are quite rare. This updated edition of the long out-of-print book focusing on this stunning collection of Mexican folk art contains a new foreword by Rockefeller's daughter, Ann Rockefeller Roberts, and a new prologue by Marion Oettinger, Jr., the director of the San Antonio Museum of Art, who wrote the principal text about the collection. Oettinger describes the objects according to function: utilitarian, ceremonial, decorative, or for play. Among the many noteworthy objects are a wooden-carved centurion helmet mask from the eighteenth century depicting a Roman guard, which is one of the few remaining masks of this type in existence, and a nineteenth century ceramic pitcher from Oaxaca that combines many stylistic techniques. Other objects include a variety of children's toys, clothing, and items for eating and drinking. First published in 1990, the book also contains the original preface by Rockefeller's daughter, who was instrumental in finding permanent homes for her father's collection, which can now be found in the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Mexican Museum in San Francisco. Including a glossary, bibliography, and chronology, Folk Treasures of Mexico is a must-read for anyone interested in Latin American art, culture, and history.

Book excerpt: "In years gone by, many young needlewomen practised their skills and demonstrated their achievements in embroidered samplers. These colourful pieces were initially worked as a reference sheet recording abstract patterns and stitches for future use. But they gradually turned into decorative pictures to be hung on the wall, their alphabets and uplifting verses intended to instruct both the embroiderer and the viewer." "The twenty-six large-format plates in this collection represent all kinds of samplers, in cotton, silk and wool. An authoritative commentary by Susan Mayor and Diana Fowle traces their history from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries." "Samplers will delight and inspire everybody with an interest in needlework, from historians and designers to enthusiastic embroiderers and collectors."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
