Arte Latino: Treasures from the
Smithsonian American Art
Museum reveals the wide range of
expression by artists of Latin
heritage living in the United States
from the 18th through the 20th
Centuries. Paintings and sculptures
created for church use as well as
objects intended for personal
devotion by Jose Campeche and
George Lopez reveal the distinctive
aesthetic of religious traditions in
Puerto Rico and the American
Southwest. Portraits of family
members, friends and famous
individuals by Judith Baca, Amalia
Mesa-Bains and others honor
members in the community. Maria
Brito and Abelardo Morell evoke
places real or imagined that resonate with memories of the past as well as significance for
the present. Emanual Martinez, Chaz Bojorquez and others deal with activism and
dialogue, exploring art as a vehicle for social action. Artists such as Carlos Alfonzo and
Alfredo Arreguin construct new worlds of imagination, dreams and occasionally
nightmares.
