Guatemalan art information


Guatemalan art refers to all forms of visual art associated with a Guatemalan national identity either because they are created within Guatemala, for Guatemalans, or by Guatemalans.  The visual arts in Guatemala consist largely of weaving, muralism, painting, architecture, and the performing arts.  Most analysis of Guatemalan and Indigenous artwork focuses on the artform of weaving, but contemporary Guatemalan visual art largely consists of painting, muralism, and more that can convey modern social values as well as ancestral indigenous history.[1]  Historically, art in Guatemala has combined the mythological heritage of the Indigenous Maya people with the country's politics.[1]  Beyond Guatemala, Guatemalan Indigenous artwork is also sometimes referred to as "art naïf," "primitivism," 'traditional art," "Maya art," and "costumbrismo".[1]
