Biographical / Historical:

Bob Thompson (1937-1966) was an African American figurative painter who worked primarily in New York City.

Thompson was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1937. He attended Boston University as a pre-med student, but quit the program and returned to Kentucky to attend the University of Louisville and study painting under German expressionist artist Ulfert Wilke. As a student, he spent a summer in Provincetown, Massachusetts and immersed himself in the art communities there. In 1958, Thompson moved to New York City and reunited with several artists he had met in Provincetown and participated in some of the earliest "happenings," somewhat informal art events or gatherings usually involving performance art and music, in 1960. He became a regular at the jazz clubs The Five Spot and Slugs and became friends with several jazz musicians. Many of Thompson's paintings reflect his interest in jazz. He also formed friendships with writers Allen Ginsberg and LeRoi Jones. In 1960, he had his first solo exhibition at the Delancy Street Museum.

The same year as his first solo exhibition, Thompson married Carol Plenda and the couple lived in Paris from 1961-1962 after he received a Whitney Foundation fellowship. They lived in Ibiza, Spain the following year. Thompson painted prolifically while abroad, and when he returned to New York City in 1963, he brought many paintings with him. He quickly found representation by Martha Jackson Gallery and the gallery featured Thompson's work in solo exhibitions in 1963-1965. His reputation grew and more exhibitions across the country followed.

In late 1965, Thompson and his wife traveled to Rome, Italy, where he continued to study art and paint. Thompson died in Rome in 1966 at the age of 28 from a drug overdose not long after receiving gall bladder surgery.

Provenance:

The collection was donated by Elaine Plenda, the artist's sister-in-law, in 2006, 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Biographical/Historical note:

The son of Yiddish writer Sholem Asch, Moses Asch was born in Poland in 1905. His childhood was spent in Poland, France, Germany, and New York. While young, Asch developed an interest in radio electronics, which ultimately lead him to his life's work, recording the music and sounds of the world. He established several record labels in succession, sometimes partnering with other record companies. Two of his fist record companies, Asch Recordings and DISC Co. of America, went bankrupt. They were followed by his best-known label, Folkways Records, which was founded in 1948 with Marian Distler (1919-1964). He was still working on Folkways recordings when he died in 1986.

Folkways Records sought to document the entire world of sound. The 2,168 titles Asch released on Folkways include traditional and contemporary music from around the world, spoken word in many languages, and documentary recordings of individuals, communities, and current events. Asch's business practices revolved around the commitment to keep every recording issued by Folkways in print, despite low sales. Asch stayed afloat by cutting costs where he could (such as color printing) and offering a high-quality product, meticulously recorded and accompanied by extensive liner notes. In doing this, he could charge a slightly higher price than other commercial outfits. Despite a tenuous relationship with financial solvency, Folkways grew to be not only one of the most important independent record companies in the United States in the 20th century, but also one of the largest and most influential record companies in the world.

Moses Asch's record labels featured famous and lesser known American writers, poets, documentarians, ethnographers, and grass roots musicians on commercial recordings. American folk icon Woody Guthrie recorded on the Asch, Disc, and Folkways labels, and the Asch Collection includes some of his correspondence, lyrics, drawings, and writings. The collection also includes correspondence with other notable musicians and artists such as John Cage, Langston Hughes, Margaret Walker, Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter, Pete Seeger, Peggy Seeger, Ewan MacColl, Alan Lomax, Henry Cowell, and Kenneth Patchen. Also in the collection are ethnographic field notes and photographs by as well as correspondence with Béla Barók, Sidney Robertson Cowell, Harold Courlander, Helen Creighton, Laura Boulton, and Samuel Charters. Asch hired various prominent artists and graphic designers including David Stone Martin, Ben Shahn, John Carlis, and Ronald Clyne to create album cover art for his recordings. Much of the original art and designs for these covers can be found in the Asch Collection.

Asch's output of recordings on various labels, including published recordings, open reel master tapes, outtakes, and acetate disks, in addition to his business papers, correspondence, photographs, and other files were acquired by the Smithsonian Institution in 1987. The collection came to the Smithsonian with the understanding that all 2168 titles under the Folkways label would be kept available in perpetuity.

Summary:

This collection includes slides (photographic) and audio-cassettes created by James Jones during research trips to San Ingnacio de Moxos, Beni, Bolivia in 1977-1979 and 1988. Jones was conducting research to complete his dissertation in anthropology and photographed many indigenous Moxo (Mojo) community members he interviewed during the course of his research, as well as local festivals and agricultural activities.

Scope and Contents:

The James C. Jones collection includes photographic slides (35mm) and two audio-cassettes made by Jones in San Ignacios de Moxis, Beni, Bolivia in 1977-1979 and in 1988. The majority of the photographic slides in this collection were taken by Jones during his 1977-1979 research trip for his PhD dissertation. There are a small number of slides that were shot in 1988 on a return trip to Beni, Bolivia. The slides from 1977-1979 were shot in 25 rolls with 36 slides per roll. The majority of the photographs were shot in and near San Ignacio de Moxos in Beni, Bolivia an indigenous village in Norther Bolivia, though additional locations in Bolivia visited include Trinidad and La Paz. Jones interviewed around 70 local Moxo (Mojo) men and women in and near San Ignacio. During and in between interviews Jones shot photographs that documented daily life for his interviewees with a particular focus on agricultural activities such as farming and cooking. Many of the photographs include images of the Rivero family (Ignacito and Yolanda) with whom Jones stayed for extended periods of time. Jones also took a special interest in the many celebrations and festivals that occurred during his stay in Bolivia and took photographs of dancers, musicians and processions. He also shot many landscape views of the village, farms, "pampas," as well as aerial views of roads and rivers and close up images of the local flora and fauna.

The two audio-cassettes, recorded by Jones in 1977-1978, includes music played by local Moxo musicians during special occasions, such as Christmas, Independence Day as well as music played in the local church. There are also interviews with Juan Bautista Savala and Chaco war veteran Horacio Semani.

Biographical / Historical:

James C. Jones was born in Harlan, Kentucky in 1944. He graduated from University of Kentucky in 1966 with a B.A. in Science in Mathematics. Jones spent two years teaching math in Columbia (1969-1970) and developed an interest in Latin American studies while traveling around South America. Due to this interest, he pursued and received a Master's degree and later PhD in anthropology at the University of Florida. Jones first visited San Ignacio/Beni in 1976 for three months to define his topic for his PhD thesis with funding from the University of Florida's Tropical South American Program. He returned to Bolivia with funding from the Inter-American Foundation in 1977 (September) and stayed through the first quarter of 1979. Returning to Florida, Jones finished his dissertation in 1980 titled "Conflict between Whites and Indians on the Llanos de Moxos, Beni Department" (PhD diss., University of Florida, 1980).

After completing his degree, Jones left the field of anthropology and received a Master's degree in agricultural economics, entering the world of development for the next 15 years. During this time Jones worked on development and security issues across the globe. Jones resumed research on Bolivia in the late 1980's and 1990s and published an essay, "Development: Reflections from Bolivia" in the Society for Applied Anthropology's Human Organization, Vol. 56, No. 1 (Spring 1997), pp.111-120. Since then, Jones has worked as an independent contractor.

1977-1979

1988

Scope and Contents:

The majority of the photographic slides in this Series were taken by Jones during his 1977-1979 research trip for his PhD dissertation. There are a small number of slides that were shot in 1988 on a return trip to Beni, Bolivia. The slides from 1977-1979 were shot in 25 rolls with 36 slides per roll. The majority of the photographs were shot in and near San Ignacio de Moxos in Beni, Bolivia an indigenous village in Norther Bolivia, though additional locations in Bolivia visited include Trinidad and La Paz. Jones interviewed around 70 local Moxo (Mojo) men and women in and near San Ignacio. During and in between interviews Jones shot photographs that documented daily life for his interviewees with a particular focus on agricultural activities such as farming and cooking. Many of the photographs include images of the Rivero family (Ignacito and Yolanda) with whom Jones stayed for extended periods of time. Jones also took a special interest in the many celebrations and festivals that occurred during his stay in Bolivia and took photographs of dancers, musicians and processions. He also shot many landscape views of the village, farms, "pampas," as well as aerial views of roads and rivers and close up images of the local flora and fauna.

Taped by James C. Jones—San Ignacio de Moxos, 1977-1978 Notes provided by James C. Jones.

Side A

2. "Himno National," as played on the violin by Abelino Masapaija, Ignaciano Indian and founder of Pueblo Nuevo. Don Abelino is maestro de capilla (second only to Isidoro Teco; both learned music in the Escuela Indigenal of Padre Marchena), and as such, is well versed in related functions—such as prayer (rezador)—of the local Catholic liturgy (of Jesuit origin). November 20, 1977.

3. "Himno al Beni," as played by Abelino Masapaija on the violin. November 20, 1977.

4. Musicos of church in San Ignacio as they perform at a Christmas novenary Mass. Nine are performing tonight. The instruments: panpipes, pajarillo, drums, violins, and flute. The pajarillo is a Christmas-season instrument and is taken out only at that time. December 19, 1977.

5. Abelino Masapaija, maestro de capilla, relates how difficult it is for the Musicos to make the transition from Latin to Spanish, which Father Alfonso Elorriaga is pushing. Their canticles have by tradition been sung in Latin, and some of the Indians have even been trained to take part in responsive liturgy in Latin. November 20, 1977.

6. Macheteros perform on Christmas Day in the Belen. The composition is entitled "Taquirari Ignaciano" (the only name I'm given) and the flautist is Cirilo Yaca. December 25, 1977.

7. The bells toll, the drums roll. Such is the call to Mass in San Ignacio. Dia de la Degollacion de los Inocentes. December 28, 1977.

8. Musicians play a taquirari as Herod's soldiers dance in the Belen prior to beheading the male children. The musical instruments: 2 bajones (panpipes), 2 flutes, 2 violins, and 2 drums. December 28, 1977.

9. The Jerure perform in front of a Nino in the home of Marcelino Coseruna. The Jerure is an instrumental group of taitas. The day is January 1, 1978, or Dia de San Manuel. Members of the Jerure shout "San Manuel" at the close of the number

10. Abelino Masapaija, Chaco War veteran and founder of Pueblo Nuevo in the early 1950s, tells how he responded to efforts of the Carai (whites are called Caraiyana) Juan Ahez to block the creation of Pueblo Nuevo. Ahez was sending a Trinitario mozo to the new village site to pull up horcones which had been set for the capilla. When Abelino, leader of the founding party (which settled at Pueblo Nuevo after searching for the Loma Santa for six months), stopped the Trinitario mozo and defied Ahez, the latter had him called to San Ignacio by the authorities. This happened several times, until Abelino threatened to use force. Ahez said that the wood for the horcones belonged to him, but in reality, according to Abelino, Ahez wanted the Indians for his mozos; he did not want them to be free. November 5, 1977.

11. Sounds of the tropical night: sapos (ranas mainly) sing after a night and day of heavy rain. January 16, 1978 (behind the house of Ignacito Rivero).

12. Cantos en Idioma (Ignaciano), on a Friday afternoon of the Lenten season. Four or five male Cantores lead the cantos, with the Abadesas singing only what seems to be a chorus. Only the Cantores and Abadesas are present; all are seated toward the front of the church near the altar. February 24, 1978.

Side B

2. A speech made in the Belen by Horacio Semani, Corregidor Indigenal, Abelino Masapaija, Maestro de Capilia; and Salvador Chapi. The occasion is Chapi's retirement after 30 years as a teacher All these men are Indian, though Chapi has not taken part in the Indian culture since he returned from the Chaco War; it is significant that Chapi speaks in Spanish rather than in Ignaciano. March 5, 1978. In the Belen. [Chapi, though born among the Indians and educated in Father Marchena's Escuela Indigenal, takes a superior attitude toward them, an attitude which they much resent. They refer to him pejoratively as Carai, or "white." He seems to be more proud of having escaped his Indian past than of the past itself. There is much tension between him and the other Indians, and I was surprised that this event occurred; I do not know who arranged it—but probably Chapi did ]

3. A song "ofalegrla" in Ignaciano, sung by Manuel Inchu. He tells me the song can be sung on any festive occasion, though I recorded this at a velorio. March 20, 1978.

4. This song is sung mainly by the parents of a bride and groom during a marriage feast, after everybody has had lots of chicha Horacio Semani sings. March 20, 1978.

5. This song, music and lyrics, was composed by Manuel Inchu to commemorate the departure of Ignacianos from San Ignacio in 1959, led by a Guarayu, in search of the Loma Santa. He says the song expresses the tragedy of the event, the great suffering experienced by the "parientes" on this occasion He calls the song La Loma Santa. March 20, 1978.

6. Several songs are here sung by Benedicta Guayacuma de Caiti (wife of Jose Caiti).

7. Chaco War veteran Horacio Semani (ne 1910) talks generally about the Chaco War and contrasts the perseverance and strength of the youth of his time with those of today. He talks about how malnourished the youth of today are, of how they no longer consume dairy products. March 8, 1978.

8. Chaco War veteran Horacio Semani compares Kollas with Cambas (the Kolla Indian with the Camba Indian), noting how dense (or torpid) the Kollas are as compared to the Cambas, even though both are Indios. March 10, 1978.

9. Horacio Semani contrasts the current economic conditions of Ignacianos with those he knew as a child March 14, 1978.

10. Juan Bautista Savala contrasts life before the arrival of the Caraiyana with the misery of today. March 25, 1978.

11. Juan Bautista Savala talks of consequences of Reforma Agraria (though he does not call it that) for Ignacianos. March 25, 1978.

12. Horacio Semani, Corregidor Indigenal, tells of how youth of today no longer want to dance in the fiestas; of how they no longer speak Ignaciano; of how costumbres are being lost; and of how population increase and the commercialization of skins and pelts have affected Ignacianos—everybody now is a cazador. Tremendous changes since his youth. March 15, 1978.

13. Selections from velorio of Virgen de Carmen (July 16, velorio held on night of July 15th) held in home of Felipe Apace. First on the tape are the Ovejitos (a song-and-dance group), then the "salves" are sung by don Felipe and a rezador (a compadre of Felipe Apace). The rezador has a sheet on which are written the words of the salves. Toward the last, the Toritos (another song-and-dance group) arrive and are heard; Daniel Yuco (my good friend) plays the flute. July 15, 1978.

14. Jerure play in the Belen on evening of July 29 (antevispera of the Fiesta de San Ignacio) just before doing a turn of the plaza to announce the fiesta season. July 29, 1978.

15. A sample of dance number played by flautist and drummers from Macheteros in home of First Cacique of Macheteros during a private fiesta The Macheteros are performing before the home altar August 3, 1978.
