請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題     In general, the influence of Anglo patrons has been much less pronounced on Hispanic arts than on AmericanIndian arts. The art forms practiced by the early Hispanics were shaped largely from resources they found in theirnatural environment. Using native woods such as aspen or pine, paints derived from natural pigments, and other localmaterials, they created utilitarian goods and religious objects to adorn their homes and churches. The Hispanic craftsrevival was confined to a much shorter period of time: beginning in the early 1920’s, reaching its peak in the late1930’s, and dying down by World War II, less than 20 years. During this period, in spite of the enthusiasm of thewealthy Anglo patrons in northern New Mexico, Hispanic crafts never “caught on” nationally in the way AmericanIndian crafts did. Interest was fairly well limited to the Southwest and Southern California, the areas in which theAdobe hacienda revival was taking place. The major interest in Hispanic crafts was as furnishing for these comfortableSouthwestern-style adobe homes. These crafts were not, as were American Indian crafts, viewed as valuable art objectsin themselves purchased with an eye for speculation. Hispanic arts to a great degree have been ignored by thespeculative Anglo art market.     A beneficial consequence of this oversight is that the artisans have been freer to work according to their ownstandards and within their own traditions. Ranging from carved images of saints, furniture and textiles, to works in tin,iron, silver and straw, the art of the Spanish colonial era remains the art of many families who have practiced thetraditional techniques for generations. Meanwhile, other contemporary Hispanic artists have carried the artistic legacyof their ancestors to new levels of excellence by working in more modern media including sculpture, photography,painting, jewelry, literature and more that reflect the ongoing evolution of Hispanic arts and culture. Though modernand contemporary, their work has not been “emptied of previous vital meanings” and become a meaningless revival, ashas so much ethnic art of this day. Rather it has remained as an object of cultural pride and identity and not simply theproduct of the tastes and demands of art market.
