October 2 - December 5, 2022
From the Art Museum of Southeast Texas:
“From Here to the Afterlife will feature a selection of artworks from AMSET’s American Folk Art and the John Gaston Fairey Collection of Mexican Folk Art with a focus on objects depicting celebrations, rituals, and day-to-day activities associated with the afterlife. It will feature works from well-known and unknown Mexican and American artists. Death and the celebration of Death are popular themes in folk art, with many artisans depicting traditional cultural practices, such as Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and Semana Santa (Holy Week), through their artwork. It will run in correlation with Collecting a Master / Coleccionando la obra de un maestro: Carlomagno Pedro Martínez in the John Gaston Fairey Collection of Mexican Folk Art. The exhibition will expand upon a few motifs that are also prevalent in Carlomagno’s work.”
