Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Caspicara was the most renowned sculptor of the eighteenth-century Andean world. Yet many works that are attributed to this Indigenous artist cannot be firmly documented as he is nearly absent in traditional archival records. Susan Webster seeks to analyze not only the visual imagery and material culture of his many works, but she also seeks to lay the foundation for understanding how scholars can revive the life and records of artists and other historical figures--many of whom were Indigenous in this period--with different methodologies. By cultivating artistic theory, popular religious devotion, and specific styles of sculpture, Webster's examination of the labor and workshop practices of this period contextualize the extensive commercial networks that existed within Quito and emanated beyond it. Webster explores the reason why authors constructed an almost completely fictional life story and canon for this artist that continued for two centuries, how this story fueled the agendas and goals of these authors in melding the colonial past with a newly independent country that could measure itself against western European culture, and as a potent story for tourists. She then considers the ways in which Caspicara's work was at the center of debates of sculpture versus painting in Quito. These debates and their development in the city also add context to notions of authorship, and how it was documented (or not). By exploring the professional world where he worked, Webster's analysis of Indigenous sculptors and their family networks of labor and apprenticeship in the arts allow us to understand the changing workforce and materials for sculptures. This analysis also reveals what day-to-day life may have been for Caspicara, and how this routine informed the artistic choices available to him. Archival materials indirectly offer glimpses into how patrons regarded Caspicara and his work, and how the work of others later embellished or altered his original vision. Throughout the chapters, visuality, materials, and reception challenge the typical obsession of art historians, museum curators, and auction houses in their hunger to attribute authorship in ways that increase the value, both for prestige and monetary reasons, and in ways that end up obscuring authorship and intent"--

Book excerpt: In this book, the author has limited herself to a narrow topic--carved wooden statuary based on the human figure--to allow herself a carefully defined focus for her twofold purpose: to present the stylistic currents in sculpture in Quito from the Spanish conquest in 1534 to Ecuador's declaration of full independence in 1830, and to offer a new view of the terms Renaissance and Baroque as they relate to Spanish colonial art. Gabrielle Palmer identifies the principle Spanish statues imported to Quito in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and then traces the rise of an indigenous style in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She maintains that Quitenian sculpture cannot be viewed solely as a derivation from European prototypes. Its style and originality should be recognized as an authentic expression of creativity that both anticipated and provided the psychological foundation for the revolutionary attitude that brought Latin America dependence on Spain to an end in the nineteenth century. Thus Baroque art in Quito is seen in a new and broader context -- Book jacket.

This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quito, Ecuador, was one of colonial South America's most important artistic centers. Yet the literature on painting in colonial Quito largely ignores the first century of activity, reducing it to a "handful of names," writes Susan Verdi Webster. In this major new work based on extensive and largely unpublished archival documentation, Webster identifies and traces the lives of more than fifty painters who plied their trade in the city between 1550 and 1650, revealing their mastery of languages and literacies and the circumstances in which they worked in early colonial Quito. Overturning many traditional assumptions about early Quiteño artists, Webster establishes that these artists—most of whom were Andean—functioned as visual intermediaries and multifaceted cultural translators who harnessed a wealth of specialized knowledge to shape graphic, pictorial worlds for colonial audiences. Operating in an urban mediascape of layered languages and empires—a colonial Spanish realm of alphabetic script and mimetic imagery and a colonial Andean world of discursive graphic, material, and chromatic forms—Quiteño painters dominated both the pen and the brush. Webster demonstrates that the Quiteño artists enjoyed fluency in several areas, ranging from alphabetic literacy and sophisticated scribal conventions to specialized knowledge of pictorial languages: the materials, technologies, and chemistry of painting, in addition to perspective, proportion, and iconography. This mastery enabled artists to deploy languages and literacies—alphabetic, pictorial, graphic, chromatic, and material—to obtain power and status in early colonial Quito.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of sculpture and authorship in eighteenth-century Quito that documents Caspicara as a participant in the innovative artistic production of the city’s workshops and its widespread commerce of polychrome sculptures. Who is Caspicara? Nothing is known of Caspicara’s life, and not a single sculpture has been documented as his work. Yet traditional histories laud him as a prolific Indigenous sculptor in eighteenth-century Quito who created exquisite polychrome figures and became a national artistic icon. Drawing on extensive archival, historical, and object research, Susan Verdi Webster peels away layers of historiographical fabrication to reveal what we do and do not know about Caspicara and his work. Rather than being a solitary master, Caspicara collaborated with other, largely Indigenous artists in Quito’s protoindustrial workshops, manufacturing sculptures now credited to him alone. The high quality of Quito sculptures produced by anonymous artists turned the city into a hub of wide-ranging commerce in religious icons. The art world and post-independence Ecuadorians have lionized the one named sculptor, Caspicara, according to the Western model of the artist-genius, amplifying the market for works bearing his name and creating a national hero on par with European masters. Lost in this process were the artists themselves. Webster returns to their world, detailing their methods and labor and, for the first time, documenting a sculpture made by Caspicara.

Book excerpt: Throughout the colonial period, sculptural style and subject matter was principally guided by the widely disseminated religious intention to inspire and maintain Catholic devotion. Without abandoning conventional life-size devotional sculpture, the School of Quito, a sculpture center for surrounding viceroyalties, witnessed the development of something new in the eighteenth century. Embodied in the Quitenian Rococo style and genre figures that alluded to contemporary colonial life, this new wave was most clearly evident in Quito through the many sculptures that comprised the nativity scenes present in both convents and elite homes. This thesis examines the significance of the late colonial style and subject matter of nativity scenes by focusing upon the reception of the expansive sculpture groups within their physical context, domains largely occupied by the creole elite (individuals born in the colonies of direct European descent). Through consideration of the implications tied with colonial ownership including identity, agency, nostalgia, and control, I suggest that nativity scenes were instruments of social and political expression for their creole elite owners during a period in which they were experiencing political, social, and economic vulnerability. By embodying the Quitenian Rococo style and presenting controllable microcosms with clear social roles and hierarchies, nativity scenes functioned to mollify the anxieties and artistically fulfill the desires of their creole elite owners. This examination focuses upon one nativity scene from the convent of Carmen Moderno as a representational example of the period to explore how the creole elite encoded the sculptures with meaning as it was particularly relevant to their declining social and political circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume’s chief aim is to bring together, in an English-language source, the principal histories and narratives of some of the most significant academies and national schools of art in South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. The book highlights not only issues shared by Latin American academies of art but also those that differentiate them from their European counterparts. Authors examine issues including statutes, the influence of workshops and guilds, the importance of patronage, discourses of race and ethnicity in visual pedagogy, and European models versus the quest for national schools. It also offers first-time English translations of many foundational documents from several significant academies and schools. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Latin American and Hispanic studies, and modern visual cultures.
