Description
The chart is an interactive lineage map. San Ildefonso school sits at the center, on a timeline that runs from older movements at the top to newer ones at the bottom. The movements that influenced it appear above it, any parallel movements it developed alongside sit on its own row, and the movements it later influenced appear below. Every line is a real, cited connection between two movements: a solid line is an influence historians broadly agree on, and a dashed line is an indirect, parallel, or contested link.
For San Ildefonso school (c. 1910 – 1930s), no earlier influence is recorded for it; it fans out to two movements it went on to influence, a mix of well-established and looser, indirect links: the Bacone school and Studio style.
The San Ildefonso school, also known as San Ildefonso Self-Taught Group, was an art movement from 1900 to 1935 featuring Native American artists primarily from the San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico. The group consisted of Tonita Peña, Julian Martinez, Awa Tsireh, Crecencio Martinez, and Jose Encarnación Peña. This was the first known Native American group in the American Southwest to practice easel painting. Read more ↗
