Mexicansk kunst

Mexicansk billedkunst kan opdeles i pre-hispanisk mesoamerikanske æra, kolonitiden og perioden efter Mexicos uafhængighedskrig.

Mesoamerikansk kunst blev fremstillet før den spanske erobring af aztekernes rige i det område, der nu er det centrale og sydlige Mexico, og skete i en periode på omkring 3000 år.

Pre-columbianske kunst

Et mayavægmaleri i Bonampak (i Chiapas), 8. århundrede e.Kr.

Den præcolumbianske kunst kan opdeles i tre perioder: præklassisk, klassisk og postklassisk.[1] Den første dominerende mesoamerikanske kultur var olmekernes: "Fra de tidlige indianske folks billedkunst ... eksisterer kæmpe stenhoveder i Veracruz og Tabasco, udhugget af olmekerne (fra la Venta-kulturen) omkring 800 f.Kr.".[2] Fra den kultur opstod det, der er forbundet med Mesoamerika - såsom hieroglyfskriften, en kalender, første fremskridt i astronomi, monumentale skulptur- (olmekerhoveder) og jadearbejder.[3]

De var forløbere for senere kulturer som Teotihuacán, nord for Mexico City, zapotekerne i Oaxaca og mayaerne i det sydlige Mexico, Belize og Guatemala.

I modsætning til moderne vestlig kunst blev næsten al mesoamerikansk kunst skabt for at tjene religiøse eller politiske behov, snarere end kunst for kunstens skyld. Denne kunst er stærkt baseret på naturen, den omgivende politiske virkelighed og guderne.[4]

Kolonitiden, 1521–1821

Fjer på panel af træ. Motivet er fra kristendommen. Objektet var en gave fra familiemedlemmer af Moctezuma II til pave Paul III; dateret til 1539.

Efter den spanske erobring prioriterede spanierne evangelisering og den tilhørende bygning af kirker. Klostre blev bygget i Mexico City og omegn.

Plumeria var en kunstnerisk, dekorationsteknik, hvor man brugte fjer.

Códices mexicas var bøger, som blev skrevet af indfødte. Disse blev også skrevet under kolonitiden.

De fleste Nahua-kunstnere, som malede billeder, var anonyme.

Barokken var fremtrædende inden midten af det 17. århundrede med værker af spanieren Sebastián López de Arteaga, eksemplificeret ved maleriet af Thomas Tvivleren: La incredulidad de santo Tomás.[5]

Andre påvirkninger kom fra Caravaggio og Peter Paul Rubens.

Kendt for store fritstående lærreder i kirker var blandt andet Cristóbal de Villalpando.

Juan Rodríguez Juárez (1675–1728) og Juan Correa (1646–1716) var blandt æraens prominente malere. Correas mest kendte elev, José de Ibarra (1685–1756) havde også multietnisk baggrund. Miguel Cabrera (1695–1768) var muligvis også multietnisk.[6]

En af de rigeste byer i verden var Mexico City i 16.-18. århundrede, og dette muliggjorde finansiering af et betydeligt kunstmiljø.[7]

Den sidste kunstinstitution, der blev etableret i kolonitiden, var San Carlos-akademiet i 1783.[8]

Nyklassicisme

Nyklassicismen kom til Mexico. En af de nyklassicistiske kunstnerne fra San Carlos-akademiet (spansk: Academia de San Carlos) var Manuel Tolsá. Han er kendt for en statue, støbt i bronze i 1803, af kong Charles IV. Statuen blev placeret i Zócalo, og siden 2011 er statuen i Museo Nacional de Arte.[8]

Galleri

Fra uafhængigheden til udbruddet af den mexicanske revolution, 1821-1911

Tortureringen af Cuauhtemoc, afbilledet på et monument over ham på Paseo de la Reforma, af Gabriel Guerra (1847–1893).

I første halvdel af det 19. århundrede blev den romantiske malestil indført i Mexico og resten af Latinamerika af udenlandske rejsende, der var fascineret af den nyligt uafhængige nation. En af disse var den bayerske kunstner Johann Moritz Rugendas, der boede i landet fra 1831 til [[1834]{. Andre var englænderen Daniel Egerton, som malede landskaber i den britiske romantiske tradition, og tyske Carl Nebel, som primært skabte litografier af de forskellige sociale og etniske befolkningsgrupper i landet.[9]

Costumbrismo-strømningen kom. En, der malede i denne stilart, var Agustín Arrieta fra Puebla. Hans motiver var scener fra hans hjemby med smukt malede fliser og keramik. Hans scener viste ofte hverdagslivet med kvinder, der arbejder i køkkenet samt afro-mexicanske og afrikansk-udseende arbejdere på markedsplads.

Blandt de, der skildrede de indfødtes lidelser under erobringen, var Félix Parra.

Efter revolutionen

Muralismo-retningen kom, og den blev dominerende. Rufino Tamayo skabte et brud med den nationalistiske og politiske tone i muralismo på en enkeltudstilling i Mexico City i 1926.[10] Han blev først værdsat uden for Mexico[11], men med en enkeltudstilling i 1929 fik han også succes i hjemlandet.[10]

Stridentism (spansk: estridentismo) var en kunstnerisk avantgardistisk bevægelse, der blev startet i Mexico City i 1921.

Los Contemporáneos (dansk: "de samtidige") var en gruppe, der sidst i 1920’erne og tidligt i 1930’erne dyrkede modernismen i Mexico.

På grund af 2. verdenskrig kom flere tusinde flygtninge fra Europa, herunder kunstnere.[12] Fra Tyskland og Østrig kom der ca. 3000 flygtninge i 1940.[12]

I 1942-1944 udgav østrigeren Wolfgang Paalen det indflydelsesrige magasin DYN i Mexico City, som fokuserede på en overgang fra surrealisme til abstrakt ekspressionisme. Magasinet udkom med seks numre i alt.[13]

Andre eksponenter for abstrakt ekspressionisme i 1940'erne var blandt andre Alice Rahon.[14][15]

Eksponenter for surrealisme i billedkunsten var blandt andre Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington og Bridget Bate Tichenor.[15] Frida Kahlo er ofte blevet associeret med surrealismen, men hun afviste selv sådan en forbindelse.[16]

I 1949 blev institutionen Salón de la Plástica Mexicana etableret.

I 1950'erne kom Generación de la Ruptura, der var et modsvar til muralismo. I spidsen for den nye kunstretning stod blandt andre José Luis Cuevas, Gilberto Navarro, Rafael Coronel, Alfredo Casaneda og skulptøren Juan Soriano.[17] I 1952 blev Galería Prisse åbnet af Alberto Gironella, Enrique Echeverría, Vlady Kibalchich Rusakov og Héctor Xavier, og i det ene år det eksisterede, havde galleriet indflydelse på oprettelsen af Generación de la Ruptura.[18] [19] Galleriet bliver tilskrevet æren for, at "Ruptura-kunstnerne" fik fodfæste på kunstmarkedet i Mexico.[20][21])

Den mexicanske stat kontrollerede mange af institutionerne, hvor kunst kunne udbredes, og regeringspartiet Partido Revolucionario Institucional delte ikke synspunkter med "Ruptura"-kunstnerne.[22][23] Først i slutningen af 1950'erne og begyndelsen af 1960'erne fik disse kunstnere lov til at udstille på anerkendte steder som Museo de Arte Moderno og Palacio de Bellas Artes. Tidligere udstillinger af "Ruptura"-kunstnere blev i stor grad ignoreret af de kulturelle myndigheder, og dette vanskeliggjorde udbredelsen af kendskabet til dem.[24]

Blandt "abstrakt-kunstnere" i Generación de la Ruptura var Lilia Carrillo, Pedro Coronel, Enrique Echeverría, Manuel Felguérez.

Andre eksponenter for Generación de la Ruptura var Roger von Gunten, Gustavo Arias Murueta, Tomás Parra. Af de tilflyttede "Ruptura-malere" var Vicente Rojo fra Cataluña den vigtigste.[24][25]

Forløbere for eller sympatisører med Generación de la Ruptura var blandt andre Gunther Gerzso, Mathias Goeritz, Alfonso Michel og "abstrakt-kunstnerne" Carlos Mérida og Myra Landau.

I 1974 blev det kombinerede galleri og museum Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Alvar y Carmen T. de Carillo Gil (MACG) åbnet.

I 1978 blev "forum for samtidskunst" Foro de Arte Contemporáneo grundlagt.

I 1984 færdiggjordes den sidste skulptur i skulpturparken Las Pozas i Xilitla i San Luis Potosí.[15]

Blandt de neo-ekspressionistiske malere var Julio Galán.

Two Tlatilco female culture figurines with exaggerated thighs, Manantial phase. Slipped and painted ceramics. Acording to the Snite Museum display placard, exaggerated thighs may be a sign of beauty.

Note: according to the Snite Museum, the Manantial Phase lasted from 1300 BCE to 1000 BCE. Other authorities place this later. These discrepancies may be a result of C14 dating vs. chronological dating. See the English language article on the Tlatilco culture for a discussion of the dating.

Tenochtitlan, Entrance of Hernan Cortes. Cortez and La Malinche meet Moctezuma II. , November 8, 1519
This image is from the "Lienzo de Tlaxcala", created by the Tlaxcalans to remind the Spanish of their loyalty to Castile and the importance of Tlaxcala during the Conquest. The text mixes European and native styles and includes anachronisms, such as the European-style chairs included in this image.

A page of the Libellus de Medicinalibus Indorum Herbis, an Aztec herbal composed in 1552 by Martín de la Cruz and translated into Latin by Juan Badianus, illustrating the tlahçolteoçacatl, tlayapaloni, axocotl and chicomacatl plants, which were used to make a "remedy for a wounded body" in Aztec herbalism.
Teotihuacán - Tripod Vase - Walters 482769 - Profile.jpg
The tripod form and painted decoration of this vessel are characteristic of Teotihuacán, while the ceramic ware and carved scrollwork originated in Veracruz. A mythical blue jaguar climbs upward, holding a dripping cloud motif in his right paw. Similar imagery occurs on the painted walls of the city.
Huanitzin.jpg
The Mass of St. Gregory. This technique, Mexican feather work, was a specialty of Aztec craftsmen called amanteca. This particular piece is the oldest extant example of Christian art in the Americas. The inscription details that Friar Pedro de Gante and Don Diego Huanitzin, Mexico City’s governor, commissioned the work as a gift to Pope Paul III, whose 1537 papal decree defended the rights of indigenous people.
Tzompantli Tovar.jpeg
Depiction of a tzompantli ("skull rack"), right half of image; associated with the depiction of Aztec temple dedicated to the deity Huitzilopochtli. From the 1587 Aztec manuscript, the Codex Tovar. Description from World Digital Library: "This illustration, from the second section, shows (at left) a temple or pyramid surmounted by the images of two gods flanked by native Mexicans. On the temple is an image of Huitzilopochtli on the right, and an image of Tlaloc holding a turquoise serpent is on the left. The temple is surrounded by a wall of serpents swallowing one another's heads. At right is a tzompantli (Aztec skull rack). Huitzilopochtli, whose name means "Blue hummingbird on the left," was the Aztec god of the sun and war. The xiuhcoatl (turquoise or fire serpent) was his mystical weapon. Tlaloc, the god of rain and agriculture, was of pre-Aztec, or Toltec, origin. A coatepantli (wall made of sculpted serpents) often surrounds Aztec temples. The tzompantli would hold the skulls of sacrificial victims. The great temple at Tenochtitlan was surmounted by two sanctuaries—the one on the left dedicated to Tlaloc, the one on the right to Huitzilopochtli."
