Perhaps nowhere is the voice of folk art louder than in Mexico. Seen in daily objects it displays the indigenous Olmec, Maya and Aztec heritage alongside the European influences while celebrating the national identity of Mexico in brilliant color.
Mexico has a wealth of natural materials - distinctive clays, woods, metals, natural fibers and dyes, gemstones and leather. Pottery, carvings, glassware, metalware, textiles and paper are among those employed to yield the wild, wonderful and color-filled world of Mexican art. |
