Materiality

Materiality

Making Spanish America

Edited by Jorge F. Rivas Pérez

This international group of scholars assembled to explore the theme of materiality in the Americas. The chapters consider materiality from a wide variety of angles, including hagiographic martyr portraiture, arms and armor in Spanish America, religious sculpture, the interpretation of the tocapu in post conquest Peru, and collections assembled both in the Americas and of goods sent back to Europe.

Codex Sierra

Codex Sierra

A Nahuatl-Mixtec Book of Accounts from Colonial Mexico

by Kevin Terraciano

The first known record of an indigenous population’s integration into the trans-Atlantic economy, and of the impact of the trans-Pacific trade on a lucrative industry in the region, the Codex Sierra provides a unique window on the world of the Mixteca less than a generation after the conquest—a view rendered that much more precise, clear, and coherent by this new translation and commentary.
 

Mapping Indigenous Land

Mapping Indigenous Land

Native Land Grants in Colonial New Spain

by Ana Pulido Rull

Mapping Indigenous Land explores how, as persuasive and rhetorical images, these maps did more than simply record the disputed territories for lawsuits; they also enabled indigenous communities—and sometimes Spanish petitioners—to translate their ideas about contested spaces into visual form.

Mayer Center Symposium XVII, Readings in Latin American Studies

Edited by Victoria I. Lyall

This volume presents the work of ten scholars who shared their research at the Denver Art Museum’s 2017 symposium hosted by the Frederick and Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial Art. Centered on the theme of murals, each chapter discusses how this art form functions as a powerful tool for the expression of political, social, or religious ideas across diverse time periods and cultures in the Americas, from the ancient rock cave paintings of Guerrero, Mexico, to the murals of the 1960s Chicano movement.

New England / New Spain

Portraiture in the Colonial Americas, 1492–1850

Edited by Donna Pierce

In 2014 the Denver Art Museum held a symposium hosted by the Frederick and Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial Art and co-organized by Donna Pierce and Emily Ballew Neff, Director of the Brooks Museum, Memphis, who assembled an international group of scholars to present recent research on portraiture in the Spanish colony of New Spain (Mexico) and the British colonies of North America. This volume presents revised and expanded versions of papers presented at the symposium.

Shaft Tombs and Figures in West Mexican Society

Shaft Tombs and Figures in West Mexican Society

A Reassessment

Edited by Christopher S. Beekman and Robert B. Pickering

This volume brings together an international team of contributors to reconnect field research on the shaft tombs of western Mexico (ca. 300 B.C.–A.D. 500) with museum-based research on the distinctive human figures for which the region is known. These finely made figures and dioramas have attracted the interest of archaeologists, art historians, and museum curators for over a century because of their expressiveness and rich detail, tempered by the sad fact that most of these objects were looted from shaft and chamber tombs and sold on the wider art market.
