About the author Penny C.
Researchers, curators, collectors, and art lovers will treasure this indispensible resource, demonstrating why Mexico has been and continues to be an exciting and nurturing setting for Artists in silver.
Forces like cubism, surrealism, primitivism, and abstraction were incorporated into a distinctly Mexican stylistic language.
The artists\' works were born out of a unique perspective, the challenge provided by the aesthetics of Mexican indigenous art.
Morrill helps us explore the materials, techniques, and design aesthetics of Artists William Spratling, H ctor Aguilar, Margot Van Voorhies, Anna Morelli, and Matilde Poulat, together with a group of talented contemporary MexicanArtists designing in silver.
It covers the active artistic communities in Taxco and Mexico City, which had a major impact on Silver designers, maestros, and silversmiths.
This dual-language English/Spanish compendium focuses primarily on threads of influence in the development of the Modern Mexican Silver industry.
