This volume, coinciding with the opening of permanent Art of the Americas galleries at the Walters Art Museum in 2025, examines how, for people in the Indigenous Americas, materials had and continue to have a life of their own.
Ancient and modern craftspeople shaped jade, gold, feathers, and clay into exquisite artworks, but the meanings of those objects are intertwined with the living essence of the raw materials themselves.
Thirty-five highlights, ancient to contemporary, provide a window into the spiritual and intellectual context in which these objects were understood by the Indigenous people who made and used them.
Este tomo, que coincide con la apertura de las galerÃas permanentes Arte de las Américas en 2025, examina cómo, para los pueblos indÃgenas de las Américas, los materiales tenÃan y siguen teniendo vida propia.
Al igual que lo hacÃan los artesanos de la antigüedad, los de hoy dan forma al jade, al oro, a las plumas o a la arcilla para crear exquisitas obras de arte cuyo significado en tanto objetos está entrelazado también con la esencia viva de las propias materias primas.
Son 35 las piezas destacadas de la colección de las Américas, tanto antiguas como contemporáneas, que permiten apreciar el contexto espiritual e intelectual en el que fueron concebidos estos objetos por los pueblos indÃgenas que los fabricaron y emplearon.
