| wausau — Las Artes de
Mexico, opening January 30 at the Woodson Art Museum,
celebrates the rich and diverse artistic history of Mexico. Through more than 120
works, the exhibition traces over 3,000 years of art and culture, from the
ancient worlds of the Mayans and Aztecs to twentieth-century pieces by
well-known modernists including Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco. The
exhibition remains on view through April 11 |
| Mexican culture is a mosaic of traditions. Art of the
long-ago Mexican world often centered on ritual and performance, as seen in
artifacts from over a dozen Pre-Columbian cultures, including Olmec, Vera Cruz,
and Toltec. They reveal a world of ceremony and celebration, ritual warfare,
and veneration of the dead. |
