KEY IDEAS

  • Colonial Latin America: mix of indigenous art forms with European materials
  • Influences of subject matter and forms from Asia and Africa
  • Subject matter does vary: religious, portraits, history, genre scenes
  • Resembles art from Spain and southern Europe
  • Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492 = conquest --> colonization!
  • Europe brought disease which wiped out much of the Aztecs and Native Americans
  • Children born of Spanish and Native Americans are called mestizos
  • Spanish heavily desired gold, silver, crops
  • Patronage: Spanish commissioned Native Americans = Catholicism with Native American traditions
  • Artists: Many are anonymous, the point was to not have fame and glory
