Pre-Columbian Art from Central America

January 25 – April 12, 1987

Maltwood Art Museum and Gallery

In many ways the stone sculpture of the Diquis zone is markedly different from that of the other archaeological zones of Costa Rica. The art of this complex Costa Rican civilization, characterized by an artistic stylization that reflects an extraordinary understanding of the decorative qualities of abstract design, is reflected in such artifacts as ceramic vessels and peg-base figurines; which were often used in rituals, musical instruments, carved stone metates used to grind corn, zoomorphic effigies, and the famous stone spheres.

Maltwood Art  Museum and Gallery

In 1650 a new appreciation for natural beauty arose and Chinese potters expressed this love of nature through cobalt blue designs of flora and fauna.

In the 17th century, a mass industry of exports to the West was established, which was the only source of “china” in Europe for a long time. Chinese porcelain became an enviable domestic possession and had a great influence on Western ceramic art.

The porcelain was drawn from a private collection. The John and Katharine Maltwood collection provided Chinese hanging scrolls and furniture for the exhibition.
