Contested Visions in the Spanish Colonial World Los Angeles County Museum of Ar. Contested Visions’ offers a comparative view of the two principal vice royalties of Spanish America: Mexico and Peru. Spanning developments from the 15th to the 19th century, this ambitious book looks at the many ways and contexts in which indigenous people were represented in art of the early modern period – by colonial artists, European artists, and themselves. More than two hundred works of art, including paintings, sculptures, illustrated books, maps, codices, manuscripts, and other materials such as textiles, keros and feather works, are reproduced in full-colour illustrations, demonstrating the rich variety of these artistic approaches. This title includes a collection of essays by an international team of distinguished scholars in the field that uncovers the different meanings and purposes behind these depictions of native populations of the Americas. These experts explore the role of the visual arts in negotiating a sense of place in late pre-Columbian and colonial Latin America. They address a range of important topics, such as the construct of the Indian as a good Christian how Amerindians drew on their pre-Columbian past to stake out a place within the Spanish body politic their participation in festive rites and, their role as artists. Lavishly illustrated, this ambitious book provides a compelling and original framework by which to understand the intersection of vision and power in the Spanish colonial world. Review With wonderful illustrations and expert, yet accessible, commentary, this absorbing volume deserves a wide readership. “–Caroline Dodds Pennock, English Historical Review–Caroline Dodds Pennock “English Historical Review IIona Katzew, Contested Visions in the Spanish Colonial World has won the Eleanor Tufts Award for 2012, sponsored by the American Society of Hispanic Art Historical Studies.
