Making a neat thing very mundaneBy A CustomerThis very bland book attempts to apply economic theory to explain the success and failures of theartisans and the people who sell alebrijes. What Barbash did for Oaxacan woodcarving thisuniversity professor has undone with a book filled with criticism and forced interviews. Imagine amagician wowing you on stage and then after word a man comes onto the stage and explainshow each trick was done and why you shouldnt be impressed because he certainly wasnt.Chibniks odd obsession with the Barbash book is mentioned in every chapter and makes onequestion the motivation for this book. Written from 94-99 this collection of notes really sings aprofessors justification for vacationing in one part of Mexico and getting his University to pay for it.The book is devoid of interesting photos. The very few are either pictures of his own pieces orblack and white. The author also chooses a very narrow group of artists for his focus. The oneshe does focus on he mentions as "the best" or "most expensive". He praises the work of MiguelSantiago as being the most talented and most expensive when there are others like Medina orAurelio Zarate that take Migels stiff looking work up a couple of notches.The author tries to sound very factual about things hes really only making an observation of. Forinstance he mentions Maria Jimenez as the only female carver where in fact Roberta Angeles;Christina Ibanez; and Bertha Cruz are also well known women artists. The distances hementions to get to villages from the city are a bit off. To get to San Pedro Cajonos the authorstates its two hours where in fact its about eight. These little things add up and about halfwaythrough they demotivate you from wanting to read further.The author takes a hard jab at wholesalers and dealers. He describes them as people who couldhave easier ways to make a living other than importing folk art. Sad but true. The prices heassumes these dealers pay for reflect 1994 and certainly not 2003 when the book is published.He pokes fun of various catalog descriptions and websites for doing the things they naturally doto make something interesting to buy. Ironically in the Epilogue he alerts the reader that CliveKincaid the largest wholesaler in his book will no longer be carrying woodcarvings. Clive ismentioned as saying "shop owners and museum curators where just walking past our booth".A hard blow to the hundreds of Oaxacan artists that have grown with him over the years.Well if Clive read Chibniks book there wouldnt be any surprise as to why.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
