While the Casta system was flourishing in New Spain (Colonial Mexico) (1519-1821), a painter’s guild emerged in order to classify the different ‘races’. The painter’s guild in New Spain paralleled the structure, purpose, and mobility of the Casta system they were representing. ==Structure== The structure of the guild was hierarchical, similar to the system they were paid to represent. The master would take on an ‘apprentice’ who would work for room and board until he or she was considered skilled enough to become an independent painter. As Moriuchi states “Working within a guild system, Mexican artists frequently copied one another, and several compositions, forms, and themes were repeated among various identified and anonymous artists, establishing basic conventions foundational to any genre” (15). Therefore, despite the multitude of painters responsible for visually representing race in the Casta paintings, the images themselves seem similar enough to belong to a single artist. Change and innovation was highly criticized and the paintings, thus, maintained a common style and portrayal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Painter's Guild in New Spain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
