Three Centuries of Art in Spanish America
Selections from the Denver Art Museum
Drawing from the renowned collection of Latin American Art at the Denver Art Museum, this splendid catalogue examines the processes of appropriation and invention in the arts of Spanish America of three centuries from the 1520s to the 1820s. Essays by prominent authors shed new light on this world-changing period.

description
The catalogue highlights Latin American masterpieces, including paintings, sculptures and decorative arts, made shortly after the conquest and before the independence movements. Arranged regionally, the essays explore how artists found freedom despite colonial authority. While pleasing clients, many artists of Indigenous and African descent also reclaimed and reshape the arts for themselves and their new colonial realities. Epilogue essays will consider modern and contemporary trends.
