Likewise, both catalogs provide useful overviews of the materials that are being presented preparatory to their interpretation, helping place the information in its historical context.
Conclusion
The research showed that interest and appreciation in colonial Latin American art has experienced a resurgence in recent years, due in large part to comprehensive exhibitions of period art sponsored by organizations such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Denver Art Museum. The research also showed that authorities such as Gauvin Alexander Bailey maintain that colonial Latin American art is more relevant today than ever before, and that the artwork that emerged during this turbulent and frequently violent period in Mexico's history should be appreciated for its creativity rather than attempting to associate specific styles and motifs with their individual artists. Rather, Bailey believes that a more holistic view of the...
In the final analysis, an exhibition of any type can only accomplish so much, and the more aligned the representative works of art are with the goals of the exhibition, the more likely the curators will have accomplished what they set out to do.

On the contrary, they maintained -- and in some cases, further improved on -- the Spanish centralizing tradition."(Pinera, 409) Tendencies towards authoritarian rule continue to survive nowadays preventing Latin America from gradual development, as in majority of Latin American countries military putsches turned into a common practice on the hand with populism of national leaders and corruption.

In years before, America was a collection of Chinese, Germans, Italians, Scots, Croats, etc., all craving freedom. Today, even the simple concept of an English-speaking nation is fading off the continent. In the past, immigrants were taught in English in the public schools.

Earle's research does lead the reader to trust her sources and her findings, but the writing style can still distract from the overall impact - by

The foreign policy of the U.S., as a hegemonic power of the world was under a tremendous amount of pressure.
