El Pueblo
Author: Jean Bruce Poole
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 9780892366620
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Founded in 1781 by pioneers from what is today northern Mexico, El Pueblo de Los Angeles mirrors the history and heritage of the city to which it gave birth. When the pueblo was the capital of Mexico’s Alta California, the region’s rancheros came here to celebrate mass or to attend fiestas in the historic Plaza. Following California’s statehood in 1850, the pueblo for a time ranked among the most lawless towns of the American West. American speculators, wealthy rancheros, and Italian wine merchants crowded its dusty streets. The town’s first barrio and the vibrant precincts of Old Chinatown soon grew up nearby. As Los Angeles burgeoned into a modern metropolis, its historic heart fell into ruin, to be revitalized by the creation in 1930 of the romantic Mexican marketplace at Olvera Street. Here, two years later, David Alfaro Siqueiros painted the landmark mural América Tropical, whose story is a fascinating tale of art, politics, and censorship. In the decades since, the pueblo has remained one of Southern California’s most enduring and most complex cultural symbols. El Pueblo vividly recounts the story of the birthplace of Los Angeles. An engaging historical narrative is complemented by abundant illustrations and a tour of the pueblo’s historic buildings. The book also describes initiatives to preserve the pueblo’s rich heritage and considers the significance of its multicultural legacy for Los Angeles today

Arte contemporáneo y restauración
Author: Rosario Llamas Pacheco
Publisher: Tecnos
ISBN: 8430962263
Category : Art
Languages : es
Pages : 483
Book Description
La conservación y restauración del arte contemporáneo es una disciplina compleja, en constante evolución, y que plantea la necesidad de actualización de los paradigmas sobre los que tradicionalmente se ha venido asentado la conservación de los bienes culturales. Tras varios años de investigación en el área, esta publicación recoge la visión particular de aquellos aspectos que, bajo un acercamiento propio, más sobresalen de una disciplina en continuo desarrollo. En este sentido, se ha descrito la naturaleza material de los objetos que forman el patrimonio reciente, estudiando la doble polaridad de la materia constitutiva del arte contemporáneo, pues es útil para concretar la idea de la obra, y a la vez lleva implícitos una serie de valores semánticos y culturales que la sustancian y dotan de importancia. Por otro lado, se ha realizado un acercamiento teórico y práctico a la disciplina de la conservación y restauración del arte contemporáneo, actualizando el marco deontológico y analizando los distintos sectores de actuación que podemos encontrar en la actualidad, o lo que es lo mismo, abordando las distintas categorías de problemas con las que el restaurador puede tener que enfrentarse: pintura contemporánea, instalaciones, videoarte, arte cinético, eat-art, obsolescencia tecnológica, necesidades específicas de documentación y conservación preventiva para el arte no convencional?
