Saúl Aragón, a wood carver from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, will demonstrate his craft at the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History Wednesday, November 7 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. and again on Saturday, November 10 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Mr. Aragón, who has been an artisan since 1986, is known for his meticulously carved, finely painted animal figures. Oaxacan woodcarvings are brightly painted, whimsical pieces that have become world famous in the past fifteen years. This Oaxacan art has been the subject of countless magazine and newspaper articles, museum exhibitions, and television programs. The program is sponsored by the Latin American Studies program, with the cooperation of the Department of Anthropology and the Museum of Natural History. For further information about the demonstrations, contact or David Brenzel (335-0482) or Michael Chibnik (335-0530) of the Department of Anthropology.
