Description
Arte en la Charrería: The Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture contains more than 300 examples of craftsmanship and design distinctive to the Mexican Cowboy. Timed to coincide with the bicentennial of Mexico’s independence from Spain and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, the exhibition features leather work, costumes, textiles, silver and iron work, as well as works on paper which illustrate the life of the charro. More than simple vestiges of a nation’s folk tradition, these objects are reminders of a rich heritage that continues to this day. The collection belonging to Marisú González Germán has been curated by noted Mexican scholar Santiago Espinosa de los Monteros.
Arte en la Charrería: The Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian Culture was organized by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC in collaboration with Luis González, Marisú González and Gabriel Cabello.
