MOLINA, RAFAEL on mon 26 nov 01
I went to the Dallas Museum of Art to see the exhibition ""Great Masters of
Mexican Folk Art" this past weekend. I was especially interested in the
"barro." There were unglazed terra cotta sculpture, glazed earthenware
utilitarian pots, polychrome painted "Trees of Life", majolica (sic), and
burnished ware. In addition to clay, there were objects made of metal,
glass, fiber, wood, and paper.
The literature descirbed the show as:
"From intricately carved angels to whimsical Day of the Dead figures in
painted papier-mache, from wearable art of gold and silver filigree to
handmade textiles and pottery, the best of Mexican folk art makes its U.S.
debut at the Dallas Museum of Art."
"This 500 piece exhibition, never before seen oustide Mexico, includes the
most revered work of 175 living artists. With its spectrum of objects from
all 32 Mexican states, the collection reflects the diversity of artistic
traditions borne of Mexico's multifaceted culture."
If you are in the DFW area I encourage you to see the show!
Ciao,

Greetings,
Regarding the exhibition Great Masters Mexican Folk Art... I thought you
might enjoy seeing some beautiful clay Arboles de la Vida by Tiburcio Soteno
(He is featured in the exhibition), that we have in our gallery:

Thanks,
