Folk
Art History
Folk
artists of New Mexico in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries took
their
subject matter from these small scale prints, discarding elaborate
decoration
details to concentrate on their major theme. They invented their own
color
schemes or took them from the few polychromed statues or canvases
shipped
north from New Spain. For lack of gilding other colors were
substituted.
The results were our New Mexico santos; wooden panels or carved figures
covered with home prepared gesso and painted in water soluble pigments.
The subjects were chosen by the patron or customer according to his
personal
devotions. The santo or holy image was not an idol as was claimed by
many
Protestant visitors to New Mexico a century ago, but only a symbol of
the
invisible power orholy personage to whom an individual's prayers were addressed: A community aware of this viewpoint could, and did, accept almost abstract images without anatomical realism or perspective.The folk artist emphasized symbols, usually one symbol that, to his patrons, identified the particular image. Attention was directed to the face which received the most care in carving and coloring in every bulto or retablo. As a result many santos seem to look far beyond us into a mystic vision unseen by mere humans. |
