Latin American Art

The category covers Latin American art from 2000 bc (Pre-Columbian) through today.

 

Latin American art encompasses the visually cultural artwork created by the native and/or indigenous peoples of the Caribbean, North, Central, South Americas and Mexico, as well as Latin Americans living in other regions.

 

Pre-Columbian art relates to artwork created prior to Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas in 1492, whereafter some argue that the existing cultures that were conquered by the Europeans experienced a “physical and cultural genocide.” Early artistic mediums include painting on textiles, ceramics, shell carving, stone, wood carving, weaving, pottery, metalworking, lapidary, feather-work, mosaic-work, and others.

 

Latin American Art in the Post-Colonial Era has its roots deeply steeped in Native American, African and European cultures. In the early art of post colonization, the artistic heritage of the indigenous people often exhibited religious overtones that were considered heretical to their Roman Catholic conquerors. As a result, “personal creativity” was not only unencouraged, it was often forbidden. This “Eurocentrism” predominating post-colonial Latin America began to loosen its grip in the beginning of the twentieth century as Latin Americans began to once again find the freedom to express their own unique artistic identity.

 

Although Modernism's appearance in Latin America is difficult pin down, early Latin American artists like Tarsila do Amaral and Joaquín Torres-García helped spread modernisms early seeds to places like Brazil, Uruguay and others.

 

Mexican Muralism of the 1920s, an important Latin American artistic movement containing nationalistic, social and political messages, was started in part as an effort to reunify the country under the post-Mexican Revolution government. The top Mexican Muralists were Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros and José Orozco.

 

Another important Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo, known for her sometimes brutally honest, symbolist self-portraits is an international celebrity for her “uncompromising” depictions of the female experience. 

Since the late 1990s, thanks in part to feminism and the “Chicano” movement, Kahlo has become a “Chicana heroine” and international icon. The Chicano Art Movement that began in the mid-20th century demonstrated the desire of Mexican American artists to establish a truly unique artistic vocabulary in the United States.

 

Torres-García, Tarsila do Amaral, Roberto Matta, Wifredo Lam, Rufino Tamayo, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, Leonora Carrington.

 

Early Latin American Art styles include Pre-Columbian, Colonial period, and others – Modern and Contemporary art styles include Mexican muralism (Muralismo), Chicano Art Movement, Surrealism, Cubism, Expressionism, Abstraction, Installation, Conceptual, Performance, Graffiti and more.
