Mexican Folk Art Oaxacan Artist Families by Arden Aibel Rothstein and Anya Leah Rothstein: Book Review
Alvin Starkman MA, LL.B.
Aficionados of folk art of the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico are already familiar with Arden Aibel Rothstein and Anya Leah Rothstein Mexican Folk Art from Oaxacan Artist Families (Atglen, PA: Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 2007). It is surprising to learn, however, some people with an interest in the business of the central valleys of Oaxaca, are not even aware of this seminal work - Especially since its first publication in 2002.
The 2007 Mexican Folk Art is a compilation comprehensive and detailed review of each major type of contemporary folk art from Oaxaca, set in a user friendly format refreshing. The book is divided into ten chapters, each devoted to a different medium: ceramics, textiles, wood carving, metal (including tin work, cutlery and knives), miniatures and toys, jewelry, candles, baskets and dried flower crafts, with the last chapter on the Day of the Dead.
In general, each chapter begins with a general description of a form of art, including significant variations within. In Chapter ceramics, for example, divisions are Terra Cotta, green glazed, Multi-Color Glossy black (barro negro) and painted red. Often, a village in the valleys central Oaxaca is known for producing a specific type of folk art. Consequently, some cases, a chapter then describes a particular pueblo, give the reader additional context. We find descriptions, among others, the cities of ceramics Atzompa, San Bartolo Coyotepec and Ocotlan.
When a family is known for a particular innovation or its adeptness at creating a job, a family history follows. The individual craftsmen are then highlighted. For the black pottery of San Bartolo Coyotepec, there are descriptions of the family De Nieto Castillo, whose famous Doña Rosa has been member as well as biographies of his son Don Valente Nieto Real and members of his clan, and family Martínez Pedro Martínez Pedro biographies of famous Carlomagno and family.
All told, Mexico showcases folk art works of 100 artists from 50 families living in Oaxaca, one of 13 towns and villages. In most cases we are informed of the personality, worldview and motivation each sculptor, weaver individual or a potter, and provided with a biography, enriched by the inclusion of a direct quote. In this way the user gains insight into the inspiration of each artisan. In many cases the authors also include a section on techniques used by the artist, which includes the supply of various raw materials such as wool from the Mixtec region of the state for the manufacture of carpets and draperies murals, clay or other parts of the state to change color and texture of sculptures and processing methods, including extraction natural dyes from fruits, plants, soils and cochineal.
With its glossy front cover and about 700 photographs, art Mexican folk can legitimately be called a coffee table book. . But it's much more photos of themselves to bring the book, and artists to life: Apolinar Aguilar Ocotlán, forging a red hot piece of recycled metal in a hunting knife arts, a painting exhibition provocatively clay ladies of the night made by his cousin, son of Julian celebrated Guillermina Aguilar, Jacobo Ángeles de San Martín Tilcajete sculpture of a character from the wood of the copal tree, or standing next to wife Maria and their families, each one proudly alebrijes exquisitely painted; Teotitlán Isaac Vásquez del Valle weaver, working at his craft to create a tapete, the model inspired by a pre-Hispanic symbol, and beautiful examples of colorful hand embroidery very detailed San Antonino, such as the yoke and the sleeve of a dress.
This little gem should easily motivate any reader with an interest or background in anthropology, history or geography. The importance and the influence of indigenous Zapotec ancestors and its current cultural events shines through many ethnographic accounts. Genealogies (Called Family Trees) with one of the annexes are in depth, and date as far back as the 19th century. They help readers better understand the historical and generational development of crafts of Oaxaca.
To help people with an interest in exploring the craft villages and visit the artists themselves, without the assistance of a travel guide to Oaxaca in the body of book, address and any additional contact information available for each artist is provided, such as phone number and email. A second appendix is a series of easy to read maps pueblo, specifying the exact location of each featured artist, also facilitate contacts.
Arden and Anya Rothstein authors correctly caution that their presentation of artists constitutes a "sampler" of what is available to those interested exploring the backcountry of Oaxaca. They actually encourage out and explore for yourself, believing that the next popular artist who could reach to international stature. They are careful to qualify their inclusions are based on the artisans are the most innovative, or produce work that is particularly high caliber in terms of certain criteria. Rothstein recognize the innovative work of any of a whole class of folk art, and those of quality production a notch above the rest that is often beyond the financial reach of many. Therefore, they have other artists whose works are more affordable, but also of exceptional quality.
Collectors of folk art often need a reminder that purchase the work of a recognized name does not necessarily mean that the product is the best in terms of color or patina, shape, design, or the images he creates, and what strikes the imagination of most, or the so-called experts, perhaps not your particular cup of tea. Along this vein, "honorable mention" is intended for manufacturers of certain trades whose works are not recommended (under, for example, " wood carvers in Arrazola extra "). The clear suggestion is that readers should go out and explore, and draw their own conclusions and choices based on personal preferences.
Is it worth buying the 2nd edition if you already have the first? Certainly give it a some consideration if you do not already have yourself entangled in the assessment and collection of folk art from Oaxaca who explore the central valleys. When the 2002 volume features 500 photos and features 87 artists in 44 families, the most recent publication, as noted above, was expanded to 700, 100 and 50, respectively. Some of the craftsmen simply mentioned in the previous volume under the heading "additional" have been elevated to "guest artist" with their work properly and stories chronicle. And in some cases where families have grown and the Pueblo demographics have changed, the authors noted changes appropriately. Wisely, at least in the opinion of this criticism, the U.S. dollar "price" has been omitted from this new volume, for more than anything else that might lead to confusion public procurement, with the possibility of placing barriers between artists and potential clients. As between the U.S. and Mexican economies, there are so variables and market conditions involved, the better to allow the seller / creator and the buyer does their own assessment of value of production.
Mexican Folk Art is a comprehensive research, study, and all major types of contemporary folk art from Oaxaca and their makers, past and present. Do not let its appearance as "just another book of fancy coffee table" fool you. He does what he proposes to do and then some. It should be considered a guide rather than a Bible. If we're still fortunate to have a 3rd edition, Perhaps the publisher was not worthwhile to put duplicates of the cards in a separate pocket pueblo ... this would be a shame for a wonderful work to become unduly worn by her toting village to village.
