Patssi Valdez, The Magic Room,, 1994, acrylic, 96 x 119 5/8 in., Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum purchase through the Smithsonian Institution Collections Acquisition Program
Browse SAAM's Latino collection with our online exhibition Arte Latino: Treasures from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. These paintings, sculptures, and photographs represent many different cultural traditions developed by mostly Spanish-speaking artists who have settled in the United States.
Plus Arte Latino includes a Spanish translation of each artwork caption! Practice your Spanish—or try to learn a little—by comparing our English and Spanish labels. Can you figure out the Spanish word for "painter?" How about "carver?" See if you can translate the following art-related terms—sculpture, cityscape, collage, canvas, and beauty!
Check out our online shop for a full-color book featuring selections from Arte Latino. And find more resources about Hispanic cultures—many of them providing Spanish text—at the Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives.
