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.

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"--

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Ecuador written by George M. Lauderbaugh and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a country the size of Colorado one can explore snow-capped mountain peaks, tropical rainforests and coastal beaches. These three continental regions also offer a variety of flora and fauna that are a dream come true to the botanist, zoologist and ornithologist. The famous Galápagos Islands provide an additional living laboratory for the natural scientist. The ethnographer and sociologist will be fascinated by the diversity of Ecuador’s people and one could spend a lifetime studying the plethora of distinct ethnic, racial and linguistic groups. Students of economics will find an interesting case study of a mono-cultural economy that uses the U.S. dollar and avoids some of the pitfalls that other Latin American countries suffer from. Ecuador’s rich traditions in art, music, literature and architecture are a draw to scholars interested in culture. Ecuador has been described by one author as a “country of contrasts.” This is indeed an apt description of Ecuador’s geography and peoples. It also partially explains the nation’s traditional lack of political cohesion, which has plagued its quest for stability and development. Historical Dictionary of Ecuador contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Ecuador.
