XX [From the Introduction by Luis Lujan Munoz] "In the past Guatemalan scholars have devoted little attention to the study of Guatemalan fine art dating from the colonial period, and colonial folk art has been virtually ignored. Indeed, until recently, the vast majority of museum and private collections consisted solely of outstanding examples of gilded, polychromatic, delicately carved fine art sculptures. Critics considered folk sculpture devoid of aesthetic value and justified this claim by pointing out that the works were poorly proportioned, coarsely carved, and carelessly painted. Unfortunately, these critics failed both to appreciate the expressive strength of these figures and to recognize that they constituted the only works of art possessed by people of the lowest social stratum. In the United States the folk art of Hispanic America is now being re-evaluated, and scholars have acknowledged the intrinsic aesthetic value of these figures and the importance of their role in the religious life of the family and community. This exhibition, which owes so much to the enthusiasm of Mr. James H. Kindel, is significant because it is one of the first, if not the first, to display this type of Guatemalan sculpture. It is difficult to specifically define the differences between folk sculpture and fine art sculpture in colonial Guatemala. I will, however, begin by noting that in the period immediately following the Spanish conquest the Spaniards utilized indigenous sculptors, who had been influenced by pre-Columbian art, to create the religious sculptures required for various Christian liturgical ceremonies. The native craftsmen used etchings, small paintings, and sculptures imported from Spain as models, and although they tried to imitate the originals faithfully, they were faced with the problem of reproducing objects that embodied alien aesthetic concepts. The copies differed from the originals in method of handling planes and many seem to have been made by artists more accustomed to dealing with bas-relief than with sculpture in the round.". Einstein, Susan (photography) (ilustrador).
