Sculptors, painters, and architects in 20th-century Mexico, working
in silver, inspired unprecedented stylistic and technical
experimentation. This dual-language English/Spanish compendium
focuses primarily on threads of influence in the development of the
modern Mexican silver industry. It covers the active artistic
communities in Taxco and Mexico City, which had a major impact on
silver designers, maestros, and silversmiths. Morrill helps us
explore the materials, techniques, and design aesthetics of artists
William Spratling, Hector Aguilar, Margot Van Voorhies, Anna
Morelli, and Matilde Poulat, together with a group of talented
contemporary Mexican artists designing in silver. The artists'
works were born out of a unique perspective, the challenge provided
by the aesthetics of Mexican indigenous art. Forces like cubism,
surrealism, primitivism, and abstraction were incorporated into a
distinctly Mexican stylistic language. Researchers, curators,
collectors, and art lovers will treasure this indispensible
resource, demonstrating why Mexico has been and continues to be an
exciting and nurturing setting for artists in silver.
