And the modernity found in the paintings, the sculpture and the ceramics, as well as the jewelry, the furniture and other woodworking, is the kind offering new views of the fine old arts and crafts of our region -- which themselves carry variations from what began in Iberia and flourished in the heartland of viceregal New Spain.
