Legends of the "Mexican Silver Renaissance" - Matilde Poulat (1899 1960)

Art historians unanimously associate the phenomenon of the "Mexican Silver Renaissance" with the name of the American jewelry designer, collector and entrepreneur William "Guillermo" Spratling (1900-1967). Almost all Mexican jewelry designers came from his famous studio-workshop Taller de las Delicias, opened in Taxco in 1931. It is believed that she was born in Mexico City in 1899 and was a graduate of the prestigious National Academy of Arts of San Carlos, taught, worked as a restorer, participated in the restoration of Mexican Catholic churches and ancient monuments...

I'm only 20% through Silver Nitrate but I love how Silvia Moreno-Garcia's books are basically, "Thing You Already Loved (Mexican Edition)." Love mushrooms and Gothic Horror? Boom, Mexican Gothic. Love 20th Century Occultism and old horror movies? Boom, Silver Nitrate. It's like the first time I had mangoes with tajin on them. LIke, "I already liked this thing but WOW."

Happy New Year!!! 🎇🎇🎇

That's fantastic that you're learning Chinese! How long have you been studying the language? 🌸

I have an interest in learning too and I am curious what the learning/studying process has looked like for you.

If you're comfortable sharing - are you taking classes? Or have a 1:1 tutor? Or are you doing a little of everything? (Classes, tutoring, immersing self in language with shows, music, etc.)

Have you picked up other languages? 😊

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on other books once you start reading the raws. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Happy New Year!

I only started studying back in late November, and everything so far has been self-taught through apps. The grammar is surprisingly not the difficult part, so the vocab acquisition is what’s tripping me up. Also the fact that hanzi is a completely different writing system than the Roman alphabet can be a little trippy, so I have to train my eyes to differentiating characters.

Currently, I’m only focused on learning how to read hanzi, so I’m not looking into classes or teachers. After I finish job hunting, maybe that’ll change. I also somewhat self-taught myself Spanish, but with that 1) I had a foundation from school, even if it was a poor one, 2) Spanish is still a romance language which means it’s not too difficult going from English to Spanish for me, and 3) I had a native speaker as a conversation buddy for a while. My Spanish is passable as long as I engage with it every now and then.

Sometimes I wonder if in hindsight I made a mistake by reading Mexican Gothic first because so far Silvia Moreno-Garcia's other books have yet to compare to the pure fascination, revulsion, anxiety, excitement, and absolute love that book inspired in me. Like, did I just start with the absolute peak of this author's talents and spoil the rest of her body of work for myself? The other stuff I've read from her isn't even close to bad, more like above average to good...it's just not been the lightning in a bottle that was Mexican Gothic for me thus far.
