Scope and Content

From the Collection: This collection contains 29 glass slides of the murals by José Clemente Orozco (1883-1949), a Mexican Social Realist Muralist, in the Hospicio Cabañas in Guadalajara and in Mexico City in the summer of 1964. There are also images of cubist paintings by Jose Maria de Servin (1917-1983), a Mexican muralist, and 1 CD containing the digital images of all of the glass plates.

Transparencies and contact prints are of Navajo weaver, Bessie Lee, and a Corn & Buffalo Dance. Bessie Lee lived on the Navajo Indian Reservation north of St. Johns, Arizona. The younger woman in the photos did not give her name. These photographs of Bessie Lee holding a Hopi pot, herding sheep, and frying bread were taken in 1964.

The transparencies of the Corn & Buffalo dances were taken in the summer of 1971. The event took place in the courtyard of one of the Museum of New Mexico facilities in downtown Santa Fe.
