We Live in Painting: The Nature of Color in Mesoamerican Art

Event Type
Culture & Community
Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
Mesoamerican artists held a cosmic responsibility: as they adorned the surfaces of buildings, clay vessels, textiles, bark-paper pages, and sculptures with color, they (quite literally) made the world. Color mapped the very order of the cosmos, of time and space. The exhibition explores the science, art, and cosmology of color in Mesoamerica. See website for ticket prices and registration.

Descanse en Paz: Memorial Paintings from 19th-Century Mexico

Event Type
Culture & Community
Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
This exhibition highlights two popular genres of 19th-century Mexican painting commemorating family members who no longer reside in the household— offering them a lasting presence in the home. The first intimately portrays deceased individuals in likenesses imbued with grief and tender remembrance. The second genre is the uniquely Mexican monja Coronado or “crowned nun” portrait. Images of flowers adorned Brides of Christ were commissioned by the families of women who took Catholic ecclesiastical vows and permanently embarked on cloistered lives.

In 1781, the Pobladores, a group of 44 people recruited from Mexico by the Spanish, established a new pueblo next to a river and in view of the San Gabriel Mountains on unceded native Tongva land. This mural was based on a chromolithograph created by Charles Koppel, an artist on the Robert S. Williamson expedition of 1853 of the U.S. Pacific Railroad Surveys.
