LUMA Teaching faith through art


Power and Piety: Spanish Colonial Art, an exhibition at Loyola University Museum of Art (LUMA) featuring more than 50 pieces from 17th and 18th century Latin America, showcases the intersection of culture and tradition. As cattle ranching and cash crop cultivation transformed the region, production and consumption of art flourished. Made with local materials—gold, silver, and exotic woods—this artwork first served as religious teaching tools and was quickly adapted by the indigenous population. “The Europeans wanted to bring in religious instruction, but there was a communication barrier


between them and the native people,” explains Pam Ambrose, director of LUMA and cultural affairs at Loyola. “What’s the best way to surpass that hurdle? You do it through visual art.” From opulence to modesty, the exhibition reflects the range of art that was found in the church, the


home, and for personal devotion. Running from August 20 through November 12, it features dozens of paintings, sculptures, silver pieces, furnishings, and decorative devotional objects highlighting the homegrown talents of local artisans and the tastes of art patrons across the Atlantic World.
