As we get ready in 2024 for PST ART: Art & Science Collide. Once again sharing our past coverage of the Pacific Standard Time initiative.

Studio visit with artist Dora De Larios 2012

Dora giving me a demonstration on the wheel, which was inspiring and amazing to see an artist creating a work of art right in front of me.

CAM: I would first like to share with you all how I discovered Dora De Larios amazing artwork. It all started with a southern California art event brought to you by The Getty Foundation, by the name of “Pacific Standard Time”. Many of you who follow the Los Angeles Chicano Art Movement may have attended the handful of the Chicano and Mexican-American exhibitions related with “PST”

“Art Along The Hyphen The Mexican-American Generation at The Autry Museum” was my fourth of seven exhibitions I attended related with the Pacific Standard Time of events. Previous to attending this exhibition I had never heard of Hernando G. Villa, Alberto Valdés, Domingo Ulloa, Dora De Larios,Roberto Chavez and Eduaro Carrillo. So prior to visiting the exhibiton at The Autry museum I did some research (Thanks internet) on the artist that were in the exhibit. The first two artist that came up with sites were; Domingo Ulloa whose familiy members have put up a Facebook page and Dora De Larios who has a website. De Larios and Ulloa would also be the two artist whose work amazed and inspired me the most in this exhibit.

The two images show the pieces drying and prepping to be fired and glazed.

Every artist in the “Art Along The Hyphen The Mexican-American Generation” exhibition are very special and great artist, But the artist that stood out the most to me and whose beautiful artwork stayed embeded in my cranium was Mrs. Dora De Larios artworks. Dora’s medium is what really sparked an interest for me. First time I encountered one of her sculptures at the exhibit I immediately thought of ancient Aztec sculptures, but with a delicate asian influence. I was also enamored with her “Blue Plate Special” 1977, Porcelian dinner plates from twelve place settings commissioned for the White House. Fast forward five months later when I had a great opportunity to purchase a few of Mrs. De Larios pieces on the secondary market. Wanting to know more about the pieces I recently purchased and thinking it would also be a good chance to meet Dora De Larios in person I sent an email out to her. Mrs. De Larios responded back with: “Thank you for your kind words. Please call my studio so that we can arrange a time for you to visit that is mutually convenient.” Sincerely, Dora De Larios

Commissioned piece, residing at Dora De Larios studio.

I emailed Dora a couple weeks later to set up my visit to her studio and a couple days after that, I was on my way to Los Angeles, California to visit Mexican-American artist Dora De Larios studio. Greeting me with a warm welcome I could tell Mrs. De Larios had been hard at work creating pieces for her upcoming studio sale in June, which she gave me a little preview of the artwork that will be available. Entering Dora’s studio I immediately went into a buffet of visual goodness. We first sat down and chatted for about an hour, during that time we talked about everything form her schooling to some very funny stories of a couple artist I am familiar with.

If you made it out to the"Art Along The Hyphen The Mexican-American Generation at The Autry Museum exhibition, you will reconize this piece over Dora’s office. I was ready and itching with camera in hand to take photos and in the second hour of my visit I was given free rein by Mrs. De Larios to take as many pictures as I wanted of her studio.

I would like to thank Dora De Larios for letting me spend an awe inspiring day in her studio learing about her life, work, and letting me absorb all the visiual stimulation that she has created.

Sculpture on the far right is Dora’s favorite.

The first major solo museum presentation of fourth-generation Navajo weaver Melissa Cody (b. 1983, No Water Mesa, Arizona) spans the last decade of her practice, showcasing over 30 weavings and a major new work produced for the exhibition. Using long-established weaving techniques and incorporating new digital technologies, Cody assembles and reimagines popular patterns into sophisticated geometric overlays, incorporating atypical dyes and fibers. Her tapestries carry forward the methods of Navajo Germantown weaving, which developed out of the wool and blankets that were made in Germantown, Pennsylvania and supplied by the US government to the Navajo people during the forced expulsion from their territories in the mid-1800s. During this period, the rationed blankets were taken apart and the yarn was used to make new textiles, a practice of reclamation which became the source of the movement. While acknowledging this history and working on a traditional Navajo loom, Cody’s masterful works exercise experimental palettes and patterns that animate through reinvention, reframing traditions as cycles of evolution. Melissa Cody is a Navajo/Diné textile artist and enrolled member of the Navajo/Diné nation. Cody grew up on a Navajo Reservation in Leupp, Arizona and received a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Arts and Museum Studies from Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe. Her work has been featured in The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia (2022); Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR (2021); National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (2019–2020); Museum of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff (2019); SITE Santa Fe (2018–19); Ingham Chapman Gallery, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque (2018); Navajo Nation Museum, Window Rock (2018); and the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe (2017–18). Cody’s works are in the collections of the Stark Museum of Art, Orange, Texas; the Minneapolis Institute of Arts; and The Autry National Center, Los Angeles. In 2020, she earned the Brandford/Elliott Award for Excellence in Fiber Art.

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Autry Museum of the American West, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Description

Painting by John Mix Stanley, Young Chief Uncas, circa 1870. Signed toward right edge of bottom center line. Chief Uncas is a character from James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 novel, Last of the Mohicans.

Fremont Flag, 1841. "General John Charles Fremont first unfurled this flag on a crest of the Rocky Mountains during the first expedition westward into US territory. Knowing he would enter territories beyond national boundaries, Fremont realized he could not carry the Stars and Stripes. His bride, Jessie Benton Fremont, solved the problem by designing and making a flag that incorporated elements of the national flag, with a distinctive motif (the eagle's talon holds a peace pipe or "calumet" instead of the traditional olive branch) intended as a message of peace to the Native people."

I saw someone guessing from the mirror selfie that he’s at a hotel…what do you think?? 👀

I think it’s a museum. And while I don’t think they’re connected the brand he tagged Autry is also the name of a museum of the American west in LA. The gqmoty theme is American Rodeo. Who knows.

La Marcha por la Justicia, a 1971 rally protesting police brutality, in Los Angeles' Belvedere Park

"The newly founded Chicano newspaper-turned-magazine La Raza served as a witness to and participant in this struggle for social justice in Los Angeles and beyond, with ground-breaking photography that married art, journalism, and activism."

https://www.cnn.com/style/article/la-raza-autry-museum-los-angeles/index.html

Young Chicanos began mobilizing art as an instrument of political activism, an expression of their cultural values, and a form of documenting or reevaluating Mexican-American history.
