Exploring “Pre-Columbian influence” in the Art of Estuardo Maldonado
@ Smart Museum of Art, The University of Chicago
5550 S Greenwood Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Wednesday, April 19th, from 4PM - 5:30PM
Location: Smart Museum of Art Study Room and Reception Lobby.
The Feitler Center for Academic Inquiry at the Smart Museum of Art and El Cafecito are delighted to present a research talk by Smart Scholar and UChicago College student, Amanda Chacón.
Amanda has spent this academic year investigating the “Pre-Columbian influence” in Ecuadorian artist Estuardo Maldonado’s 1963 painting Personaggio. Her research has involved a comprehensive analysis of the iconographic references present in the artwork, leading to new ideas regarding Maldonado’s potential sources and inspirations. This Spring, Amanda traveled to Quito, Ecuador, where she had the opportunity to study more works by the artist and a range of important Pre-Columbian artifacts in person.
Please join us in the Smart Museum’s Study Room to engage in a lively discussion about Maldonado’s oeuvre, the question of “influence” in Latin American Modernist art, and the practice of conducting international archival research. The talk will be followed by a brief reception in the Smart Museum Lobby with Ecuadorian cuisine and open conversation.
