TYPE OF METADATA RECORD:


 
Media Type:
  Static Image

 
Instantiations/Formats:
  Photograph of a folk artist linked to other records showing his works (Sample Records #05 & #06)

 
Comments:
 

There are three related metadata records. Sample Record #04 describes a photograph of a folk artist. This metadata record uses the pbcoreRelation container to link the artist to photographs of two of his actual works (see Sample Records #05 and #06). Likewise, the records for the actual works use the pbcoreRelation container to link back to the artist's photograph (Sample Record #04) and the related companion art work.

The pbcoreDescription container is repeated in each record in order to distinguish information about an individual art work (abstract) and anecdotal insights made about the work or artist by an art historian (anecdotal).

These records are part of a larger collection. The metadata schema in use by the cataloging institution employs other metadata fields to identify collection-level information. These are found as extensions to PBCore.

  Element description Photograph of Homer Warren who works in sandstone carving, sometimes using the natural coloring of the stone, other times painted with bright colors. A Navajo artist currently living near Bluff, in southeastern Utah, Homer's works capture the fanciful nature of our childhood and are very appealing to those in their "adult years."

  Element description [Additional insights by Robert S. Olpin, PhD, Department of Art and Art History, the University of Utah] Homer Warren and his wife, Irene, are Navajo artists who live in southeastern Utah in the portion of the Navajo reservation that overlaps the border of Utah and Arizona. After attending schools in several states and serving in Vietnam, Homer Warren returned to Utah to marry Irene and raise a family. He soon began carving the same sandstone toys he had made as a boy. Using the plentiful supply of stone found near the banks of the San Juan River, he carves human figures, animals and vehicles. While some Warren pieces are carved around the natural coloring of the stone, others are painted with bright colors.
