This volume presents the work of ten scholars who shared their
research at the Denver Art Museum's 2017 symposium hosted by the
Frederick and Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish
Colonial Art. Centered on the theme of murals, each chapter
discusses how this art form functions as a powerful tool for the
expression of political, social, or religious ideas across diverse
time periods and cultures in the Americas, from the ancient rock
cave paintings of Guerrero, Mexico, to the murals of the 1960s
Chicano movement. Artist Judy Baca discusses her practice with
Jesse Laird Ortega (Denver Art Museum). Claudia Brittenham
(University of Chicago) considers the Rainbow Serpent mural from
Chichen Itza's Temple of the Chacmool. Severin Fowles (Barnard
College) and Lindsay Montgomery (University of Arizona) reevaluate
rock art across the American plains and Southwest. Kelley
Hays-Gilpin (Northern Arizona University) and Hopi artist Ed
Kabotie survey dry fresco mural painting in Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, and
Rio Grande Pueblo communities from the fifteenth century to the
present. Heather Hurst (Skidmore College) reconstructs the sequence
of drawing the Oxtotitlan cave paintings in Guerrero, Mexico, some
of the earliest mural paintings in Mesoamerica. Lucha Martinez de
Luna (INAH/independent scholar) examines how Chicano artists used
mural arts to make statements about identity and cultural heritage
in the context of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, with a
focus on Denver artists. Franco Rossi (Boston University) provides
a detailed examination of the Xultun mural images and texts, which
shed light on the training of Classic Maya scribes and the
transmission of artistic knowledge. Maria Teresa Uriarte
(Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico) brings thirty years'
insight to the striking iconography of the murals of Teotihuacan.
