Book Description
Book Description:
This insightful study of traditional Mexican clothing is based on authentic vintage & antique dolls made by Mexico's local artisans or by renowned doll makers of the 20th c. With over 370 color photographs, it is a beautiful and comprehensive review that relates customs, language, music, and folk arts to a blending that is wholly Mexican and now its national culture. Men's and women's regional clothing is explored, including serapes, sombreros, Colonial dress, skirts, and shawls worn by the indigenous native Mexicans & mestizo. Dolls, period photographs, and adult clothes present a visual story tracing variations that clothing has undergone from decade to decade. Today, people in all walks of life will find this refreshing look at traditional Mexican attire to be fascinating and inspiring.
From the Author
The visual satisfaction I feel about Mexico's popular arts is one of pure delight. Through their art and clothing I can inhabit a part of their strong traditions, especially in my "niche" the Mexican costume doll. After many years of collecting Mexican dolls and their tourist clothing I realized how important it was to document what I learned and to share my dolls with the rest of the world. Very few if any of Mexico's popular arts books acknowledge the Mexican made dolls and there is no publication that has exclusively recognized them. Mexico's contribution of folk art sustained the integrity of their culture during the 20th c. The tourist dolls and clothing have been highly coveted but yet there is no concrete data to document the artisans or the makers. I am proud to present you with a book that is not only a tribute to the dolls and the clothing but also a credible book full of insightful detail and information about their origns and distinctive attributes. I hope you enjoy the dolls & some of my pieces of Mexican folk art . Most of them are from my private collection, no longer seen at the typical retail shops.
