Dr. James Loucky, Western Washington University, Department of Anthropology.:"For three decades, Joseph Johnston has been collecting and preserving paintings by Maya artists from Tz’utujil communities on Lake Atitlán, that highlight the work of many of the most renowned indigenous artists of highland Guatemala. The collection is unrivaled in its scope and significance. Complete with biographies of the artists, accounts in their own words, and careful documentation, it is rich and inspirational to view and invaluable culturally and artistically. It deserves to remain intact, and to continue to instill deep respect not only for the human spirit of Maya artists, but also for their own appreciation of history, creativity and beauty." |
