    After reading chapter 4, “The Chicana/o Mural Environment”, I thought of all the murals I’ve seen and how I didn’t really pay attention to them. The author focuses on murals located in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. I smiled when I read this because I’ve seen at least one mural in each city. The reading talks about how each mural has meaning and most of the time the meaning will depend in the area that is located in. I’m from L.A county so I’ve been to East L.A. I’ve seen many murals there, but never really thought much of them. East L.A. is full of history, especially for the chicano community and it’s sad to say that people that don’t live there might not know much about the beautiful art that surrounds the area. Next time I go,…

    This work appears to be neither purely indigenous American nor European but instead a combination of the two, most likely an indigenous American artist with European influence or training (a combination common with most art in viceregal era latin America). This combination can be seen primarily in the main aspects of the work: the materials and technique, the composition and scale, and lastly, the subject and iconography of the work.…

    In the Cosmic Race written by Jose Vasconcelo, Vasconcelo writes about the definition of Latin American people and their divine mission in America, while also briefly comparing them to other races such as the Europeans. Vasconcelo states that there are 4 racial trunks, the Blacks, the Indians, the Mongols, and the Whites, while expanding detail with the Whites who he described as organizing themselves in Europe, and becoming invaders of the rest of the world. Vasconcelo gives an example as the Spaniards conquered Latin American, however he believes that their role was just to reintegrate the red world, which he describes as a bridge which has brought the world to a state at which all human types and cultures can fuse together. According to Vasconcelo the faithful Latin-people are those called upon to this divine mission after they have gained freedom. It is safe to say Vasconcelo easily inspired and influenced several aspects of Diego Rivera’s artwork. While Mexico was under similar circumstances after the Mexican Revolution as Latin America, Deigo Rivera used some of Jose Vasconcelo’s ideas to impart social and political messages. In Diego Rivera’s “El Hombre en Cruco de Caminos” located in Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, one can see a man who appears to be in control of the Universe with a variety of people in the backgrounds. At one point Vasconcelo states that every ascending race needs to constitute its own philosophy to get to its own success, rather than just learn and copy from the others. This idea is expressed in Rivera’s Mural by the man in the middle who is controlling what seems to be the entire universe. It seems that both of these men understood the ideathat it was time to control themselves. Although Diego was focused on the “spiritual” liberation of Mexico from its Colonial obsession, the idea of creating and controlling your own ideology and destiny is shared by Rivera’s painting and Vasconcelo’s,…

    While the painting portrays a very real event in Latin American history, I chose to research more into “Los Funerales de Atahualpa” when I noticed that it was made with a more artistically European renaissance style and technique.

    “The picture is unbelievably complex, a kind of exercise in dexterity that only an established painter would attempt in order to prove that he could od it. The various planes are indicated by perspective, the interplay of light and dark, and a clever use of colors. The figures are well done and breathe vitality, but the essential mystery of this work lies outside such considerations” (Michener 407). The scene in Las Meninas is painted with the distinctive use of color and light. The painting is an oil on canvas painting completed in 1656.…

    Despite the many studies that art historians have devoted themselves to finding a meaning to the canvas, the unknowns still pose Las Meninas difficult to answer. There are also many questions in regards to Velazquez’s painting which can not be answered but rather, everyone who admires Las Meninas must make a choice for themselves. Some of the questions may be, why is Velazquez portrait on the canvas? What is the meaning of the piece? What is Velazquez trying to represent with this painting? Why is there a mirror with the king and queen's…
