A Strange Mixture: The Art and Politics of Painting Pueblo Indians During the heyday of the Taos/Santa Fe School, which lasted from about 1915 to the mid-1930s, support came from two different kinds of patrons: those intrigued by an exotic and remote Indian civilization in the far Southwest, which somehow doubled as an early America; and those who looked on the same group of Indians as descendants of the ancient Anasazi tribes, with cultural attributes that merited preservation. Distinguishing between the two groups has never been easy; some patrons frequently crossed the line. Thus, constructing a historiography of the school—that is, a rough outline of how these different kinds of paintings have been understood over the years—is also difficult and confusing. When the Santa Fe Railroad crossed New Mexico in the early 1880s, and tourists began to flood the area, surveillance of these rites increased. How the artists fought back, with pamphlets and marches, during the intensely confrontational 1920s is only part of the story, however.
Collections A Bearded Man, a Water Bird, and a Divine Monkey: Recent Gifts of Mesoamerican Art Stone and ceramic sculptors in ancient Mesoamerica mastered representations of their subjects both in the round and in low relief. Such artists were held in high regard by their communities; in ancient Maya civilization, for example, we know that they were important enough to sign their masterworks. The works of three new sculptors from ancient Mexico—though their names have gone unrecorded—are now a part of The Met collection and are on display in gallery 358. All three artists exhibit a high degree of naturalism in some respects, but in each case they selectively depart from a faithful rendering of reality. For peoples of the Olmec civilization (ca. 1200–400 B.C.) in the Gulf Coast of Mexico, greenstone, especially jadeite, was perhaps the most highly valued material (a topic that will be explored in great depth in the upcoming exhibition Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient Americas).

Wikipedia Citation Your Questions About Luxury Arts in the Ancient Americas, Answered In the ancient Americas, skilled craftspeople made luxurious objects for ritual and regalia from their culture’s most prized materials. Jade, rather than gold, was the most precious substance to the Olmecs and the Maya in Mesoamerica; and the Incas and their predecessors in the Andes valued feathers and textiles above all. Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient Americas is an exhibition that traces the development of the luxury arts from 1200 BC to the beginnings of European colonization in the sixteenth century. We recently sat down with two of the exhibition curators, Kim Richter from the Getty Research Institute (at left in the photo below) and Joanne Pillsbury from the Met (center), along with project’s research assistant Emma Turner-Trujillo (right), to answer your questions that came to us on Instagram. Questions ranging from how nose, ear, and lip ornaments were worn to the meaning of “divine excrement” are organized and answered below. What Is “Luxury?” P.S. Absolutely.

The Red Queen and Her Sisters: Women of Power in Golden Kingdoms Mask of the Red Queen, A.D. 672. Mexico, Chiapas, Palenque, Temple XIII. Maya. Among the many recently discovered works presented in the exhibition Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient Americas are the spectacular ornaments and funerary objects that reveal the newly understood prominence of women of power in the ancient Americas. The Maya site of Palenque (ancient Lakamha'), located in the foothills of the Chiapas highlands with a commanding view of the Tabasco Plain, was home to a powerful dynasty in the seventh century A.D. Lady Tz'akbu Ajaw's funerary monument, now known as Temple XIII, contained her limestone sarcophagus, the interior of which was painted with crimson cinnabar.

Archival Image & Media Collection The Ryerson & Burnham Archives collect artists' and architects' papers that complement and extend the permanent collections of the museum's curatorial departments. The Archives' collections are notably strong in late 19th- and 20th-century American architecture, with particular depth in Midwest, Chicago School, Prairie School and organic architecture. Architects such as Edward Bennett, Daniel Burnham, Bruce Goff, Bertrand Goldberg, Ludwig Hilberseimer, Mies van der Rohe, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright and events such as the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the 1933 Century of Progress International Exposition are represented in a broad range of graphic and textual records. The Archives also collect the papers of artists, designers and scholars such as Ivan Albright, Irving Penn, André Mellerio, and Richard Ten Eyck.
Golden Kingdoms: Luxury Arts in the Ancient Americas This magnificent exhibition and its corresponding catalogue, Golden Kingdoms: Luxury Arts in the Ancient Americas, are the product of a dedicated four-year research effort that gathered scholars from Latin America and the United States. The exhibition presents approximately three hundred objects that come from fifty-seven museums in thirteen countries. In addition to the prestige of the Getty and the Met, the worldwide recognition of the conscientious scholarship of the curators Pillsbury, Potts, and Richter helped to elicit the trust of a number of international institutions. Although the name of the exhibit might suggest that all the objects are made of gold, there are some made of silver, jade, turquoise, shell, as well as feather work, textiles, and even codices. The exhibition/book follows the path of the development of gold and metallurgy in the Central Andes around 2000 BCE, continuing northward through the Northern Andes and Central America to reach Mesoamerica.
