Guatemalan Indigenous Painting from Patzum

Posted in Art & Folkart | Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 | 6 Comments »

What makes art art and what makes everything else handicrafts or folk-art?

In Spanish art is arte and handicrafts are artesanías; kind of like little arts. I wonder why artesanías is the name given to the stuff created by the indigenous people of Guatemala… I wonder. Can anybody help me understand why?
