La céramique de Mata Ortiz ressuscite l'art du feu du Mexique ancien pré-colombien. Avec légitimité, elle se hisse au niveau le l'art de la céramique, dont celui de la porcelaine, de la Chine ou du Japon. C'est une renaissance ! Et un nouvel émerveillement pour le monde entier !
Admirable, como trabaja Mata Ortiz, tan famoso!! Hace arte a pulmón, que bellezas tan delicadas son sus obras. Pense que era mas viejo. por ser tan famoso!! Hermosas obras muy interesantes con dibujos estilizados con técnicas primitivas. Asombroso!!!
Alicia Taibo Mata Ortiz es la técnica tomada del nombre del pueblo, el que la descubrió y la impulsó Juan Quezada si es mucho mayor, el debe ser de una de las familias de alfareros que producen esa cerámica. En vivo las obras son espectaculares, hacen un trabajo maravilloso.
WOW!!! Great video! Shows all the work behind any single piece. Go and buy directly to local artists but please please do never bargain the price they do it for a living ♥ I'd bring all the pieces to my house!!! FANTASTIC ARTIST
Hi Blanca, Mata Ortiz is definitely a very special place. Hopefully I'll be able to visit the Village again soon. I have close to 100 Ollas in my collection, amazing art. Ross
i love watching this clip. the artist is amazing and humble. i would love to see a current video of the artist. his lifes journey to today, 2017. and yes the women did help him/coax him along in his speech but they should have let him finish most of his own sentences. they remind me of my old english teachers that are always correcting their students. at some point they did become annoying. it's a lesson to "EVERYONE OF US" to have patience and tolerance.
@@Robhernandez1955 , It happens to all Artists , i know my paintings sell but by the time i pay for the canvas frame and the gallery commission , there is not much left ! Even musical Artist and other form of Artists dont get paid well , no matter where you come from . I agree there is something wrong with it .
I know that those two women were interpreting some, but damn they were annoying! They sounded like know it all's. When he knew the word they would still cut him off. reminds me of my attention seeking Aunt in-law. And it distracted from the real star, the artist and his Beautiful work!
Incredible art being made in Mata Ortiz! The story about the development of this art form is fascinating. Highly recommend that you take a trip to the village. I'm hoping to get back down there in the next few Months.
Wish I could, Ross, but highly unlikely. However, I did find it on GE and there are a few nice Panoramio photos at the location. One shows a particular pottery studio, but don't know if it's the same as in your video. Now, I'm hoping Google Street View will go there and give us a virtual tour of the village!
One thing they didnt show here, the painting on the oot can be polished again so the finish is smooth as well, this doesnt make sense for the black/grey finish, as the roughness makes the pattern stand out more. There is a problem however, as polishing the paint with the stone would just destroy it, but they apply a small amount of soap (traditional hard soap, not liquid soap) which allows for the painted patterns to be burnished.
Wonderful work! Thanks for sharing!! To those who say that he isn't getting enough money for these, he probably isn't but as beautiful as his work is the market value is low even in the US or Europe. I doubt it has anything to do with the people making the film. More to do with cheap imports and IKEA! :-P
I looked on the site that sells the items and items like the pieces here are selling for about 300 usd on average. Some are more than 500 usd. I hope more people know about him and he makes a better life. His skill is priceless. I wish i knew where he was I would go there and purchase some pieces for respectable prices. He deserves better. Bless his heart..
Can a person travel down to the area where the Mata Ortiz pottery is made and make on the spot purchase In USA currency? Must one speak Spanish? What is the best way to buy direct?
Hi Daniel, Absolutely! The village of Mata Ortiz is a very special place. The people their will welcome you with open arms and are very appreciative of visitors to their village. You can buy directly from the potters homes as well as a few galleries in town. US currency is welcomed and you don't need to know Spanish. I recommend that you contact Pablo Carrillo at mataortiztours.com. These tours are a great way to get your feet wet and introduced to the Village and its fabulous artists! Enjoy your adventure. Ross
Hi Valentino, go to the 3:50 point of the video & he explains what he's using. It's a combo of graphite & kerosene. The red design on the pot is iron oxide and when fired it turns to a mat black. Beautiful art & amazing artists!
+Danny O'neil well it depends on who made the pot, like my grandma's brother who is juan quezada (belive it or not) sells pot for thosands of dollars,but if my grandma made one it would be a few hundred dollars
Danny, this pottery, depending on quality, sells for a lot of money in the USA! Of course, if we travel there, which few people can do, we could buy it for less money, but the trip would cost a lot.
When he's applying the orange? He made a paintbrush from his daughter's hair, and is using it to apply manganese powder mixed with water. Once he fires the pot, the orange parts will be flat, matte black.
Acá los aborígenes precolombinos ( Animas, Diqguitas, Molles, Changos, Mapuches...etc...) y hasta ahora usaban óxidos, de hierro para el rojo o anaranjado, de manganeso para el color negro y el color blanco es del polvillo de Caolín ( tipo de arcilla blanca) el óxido de manganeso se prepara con arcilla roja oscura, se pinta aún estando húmedo el cuenco unos minutos y sacar brillo bruñendo con una piedra pulida, con un trozo de cuero o suela. Saludos.
To be talked down to in your own house and be called a heathen by a woman on an agenda is very rude. Pity the poor artist that has leave his work and descend into the world of the opinionated.
I would love to buy one of his pieces, I just wish there was a way for you to know if your money is really going directly to him and not these ladies instead
Mexicans aren't stupid. I'm sure he knows the value of his work and runs his business very wisely. Pottery from this village and other places in Mexico has been exported for many years, they don't just sit and wait for Americans to show up at their door to buy something.
Giselle Bustamante I lived around 40 minutes away from mataortiz for about 10 years. I met a couple of persons who do this very type of pottery for a living and I gotta say they are quite humble in the way some of them live but let me tell you that they run a very good business exporting their art. But at the same time they make a lot from tourists who visit their doorstep. In less words: they do sell them to the people mentioned in previous comments but they don't sell them for cheap. Oh no! It's quite far from being cheap stuff.
There's a special place in hell for the people that took his beautiful art for pennies and then collected and sold for hundreds and thousands. They have no soul. I hope he was able to make more money from honest people as the years passed. This made me so sad.
You can clearly hear them saying they can't finish the pots and they edit that out. You should be ashamed of how much you are paying thee people! You are selling this stuff for $600 but they show nothing for it. Someone is going to hell first class.
Beautiful pottery, definitely pieces of art. I hope he is being well compensated although it does not look like that. I hope those rude nasty ladies aren't taking advantage of him and his family... Some people's greed knows no boundaries... Always trying to enslave other races...
Mexicanos ya les enseñen sus técnicas a esos extranjeros, solo van a copiar y después ellos lo patentan para decir que es de su país, que no se sigan aprobechando de la necesidad de la gente sencilla y humilde.
From the looks of your visit to this magnificent artist you really haven't helped improved his living situation much. Probably because you get the pots dirt cheap which is why you visit him directly to his house, typical American tourist. You sound so condescending too. Just speaking the truth.
These people don't want you asking all these questions they just want you to buy something they don't want to have to explain everything they do artist don't like giving all their secrets away and Dame it's their house to how would you like it the only reason he and his wife put up with you was hoping you would buy something and I hope you did after all of this
his hand painted designs absolutely Flawless. for a second I thought it was done by machine.. brilliant
ORGULLOSAMENTE MEXICANOS!!
Felicidades por mantener viva está tradición milenaria.
Isn't that phenomenal. The artist is so talented. I could watch him work for hours. Thank you for posting the video.
This man's talent and artistry is stunning!! I am amazed by how he does this!
This is a great video if one could listen solely to the potter!

You say you purchase these pieces direct from them, and yet it looks like they live in a dump. How much are they getting for this Spectacular work ?

Thank you very much!!!!
It is absolutely gorgeous! What is the orange color, please? I understood that black one is graphite. And the orange? it looks so beautiful! :)
It sounded like they said the orange is manganese mixed with water, and that it fires flat black.
Yes.
@@LaynieFingers If the orange manganese turns black after firing, what color does the black graphite turn into after firing?
@@Dovid2000 Oh, I have no idea. I just shared what was said in the video.
nice work ................
reminds me of my grandma's place. 😊
eu não entendi , o esmalte para brunir ,é querosene preta?

fantastic inglish
that website doesnt work
+smellycat249 Sorry about that, my bad. It's kachinahouse.com. No T in kachina.
To be talked down to in your own house and be called a heathen by a woman on an agenda is very rude. Pity the poor artist that has leave his work and descend into the world of the opinionated.
Glad you liked the video!!!
Hola me fascina tu trabajo. Que le pasas con eso que parece un trapo negro
...oh ! my God...

I know they're not but greed can be a very powerful motivate. That aside I'm sure you're right about it though, thank your for the reassurance!

He is using Native American techniques such as the Pueblo and Navajo.
It also looks like he's copying the designs. Probably got the designs and techniques from the pueblo tribes. Didn't know navajos make pottery.
Specifically The Pueblo of San ildefonso In New Mexico
like!
There's a special place in hell for the people that took his beautiful art for pennies and then collected and sold for hundreds and thousands. They have no soul. I hope he was able to make more money from honest people as the years passed. This made me so sad.
mui lindo mas q es betun

All the particulates from years of pottery is unsafe just as lead was unsafe for artists
Would rather listen to the guy explain his buisness instead of her!!! After all it's his pottery !!!
