The
Many Faces of Mata Ortiz
by Susan Lowell, et al
For the past twenty-five years an extraordinary art movement has been
underway in the remote countryside of northern Mexico, a renaissance of
ceramic art in the tiny village of Mata Ortiz. As unlikely as it may seem,
this phenomenon was sparked by the genius of a village woodcutter of rare
artistic talent and equally rare determination, Juan Quezada.
Over the years, by trial and error, Juan Quezada gradually recreated
the technology of the ancient pre-Columbian masterpieces, until modern
masterpieces also emerged from his own hands. Now this reawakening of the
ancient art is taking many forms in the hands of some three hundred villagers.
Noted Arizona author Susan Lowell has written a fascinating traveler's
introduction to the region, the town, Juan Quezada, and many other village
artists. Lowell's essay is followed by a biographical survey of a cross-section
of 100 potters along with color photographs of their work and portraits
of the potters. Included is a guide for travelers planning to visit the
village, an index of Mata Ortiz potters, a schedule of exhibitions in the
U. S. and Mexico of Mata Ortiz pottery featured in this book, a glossary,
and a bibliography. The Publisher.

Strong
Hearts : Native American Visions and Voices
Peggy Roalf (Editor)
Book Description: This kaleidoscopic range of photographs--the
first comprehensive collection of contemporary Native American photography--explores
Native American Indian culture from within. The photographers here image
a world that, until recently, has been depicted almost exclusively by non-Native
people.
In Strong Hearts, popular visions of American Indians are challenged
by artists and writers for whom self-representation is often as much a
political as an artistic statement. For example: the darkly emotional scenes
staged by Carm Little Turtle; Larry McNeil's metaphorical images of eagle
feathers; Zig Jackson's satirical pictures of tourists photographing Indians;
Maggie Steber's intimate portrayal of the Wildcat family; images of joy
and of pain captured by the children in the "Shooting Back from the Reservation"
project; and Jeffrey Thomas's close-up portraits of traditional powwow
dancers.
Three distinguished authors write about the struggle to overturn stereotyped
perceptions of Native Americans. Paul Chaat Smith, cultural critic and
writer, compares the nineteenth-century arms race that nearly wiped out
his Comanche ancestors to the ways in which the camera has been used to
form unyielding perceptions of Native people. Theresa Harlan, curator at
the C.N. Gorman Museum, tells how constructed mythologies about Native
people threaten not only their cultures but their very survival. Photographer
and educator Jolene Rickard regards contemporary Native image-making as
"documents of our sovereignty, both politically and spiritually." In their
essays, all three show how the photographers in Strong Hearts use the camera
to represent Native American people today.
One hundred twenty-five images by thirty-four Native American photographers
are complemented by poetry that echoes ancient story-telling traditions.
From an anonymous Swampy Cree poem capturing the forces of Nature to Luci
Tapahonso's narrative "Raisin Eyes"--a humorous, clear-eyed picture of
modern love--this collection reveals enduring traditions central to Native
American literature.
Strong Hearts: Native American Visions and Voices offers rare insight
into complex questions of personal identity, race, politics, family, and
society. Strong Hearts will stimulate real cultural exchange for a long
time to come, as it conveys the experiences and insights of American Indian
artists and writers defining their cultures today.
