From the Publisher
“Important and well
crafted. Reconsiders the notion of artist and artist’s biography as a technique
of art historical research and analysis for the early modern Americas. The
impact of this critical reframing should transcend Latin America itself, going
beyond the region to reshape the ways in which art historians think about the
idea of the artist in complex colonial situations where global forces and local
histories conditioned one another for centuries.”—Paul Niell, author of Urban Space as Heritage in Late Colonial Cuba:
Classicism and Dissonance on the Plaza de Armas of Havana, 1754‒1828
“A first
compilation of its kind, focused on how Indigenous artists made their different
contributions to the region’s art history. This volume will impact
undergraduates and graduate students alike, teaching them about ways to build
an innovative narrative of colonial Latin American art.”—Rosario Inés Granados,
Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin
