Barbara Rogoff, Professor of Psychology, University of California Santa Cruz and author of Developing Destinies: A Mayan Midwife and Town: "Arte Maya Tz’utujil documents a treasure—a unique collection of the brilliant paintings of Mayan artists, many of which document Mayan lifeways of prior generations. This beautiful, informative website and the glorious collection of paintings are based on Joseph Johnston's generous and visionary encouragement and support, over decades, to the artists in developing their unique points of view and styles. In the process, Joseph has contributed to the livelihoods and satisfactions of many Mayan artists and to the immense pleasure and inspiration available to us the viewers."
