            Joseph Jacinto Mora American, b. Uruguay, (1876 - 1947) See-Peek-Nich, Hopi East Mesa, 1904 lithograph Edition 315/650. Biography from the Archives of askART: Devoting his life to exploration of subjects as diverse as vaqueros, Hopi Kachina figures, the Arizona landscape, and California missions, Joseph Mora also excelled as a writer, photographer, designer, children's book illustrator, and map maker. Mora was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, and was the son of Domingo Mora, a well-known painter and sculptor who brought his family to the United States in the mid 1890s and then became a teacher in New York at the Art Students League. Joseph and his artist brother Luis Mora (1874-1940) grew up being much influenced by the creative atmosphere of their father's studio. Joseph studied at the Pingry Academy in Elizabeth, New Jersey; the Art Students League with his father in New York City; and then in Boston at the Cowles Art School, and with William Merritt Chase. He worked as a staff artist and cartoonist for the Boston Herald and then in 1894, when he was age 18, took a four-year horseback sketching and writing tour of Mexico, the American Southwest, and Texas. On this trip, he worked as a cow puncher on ranches along the way to earn money. In 1903, he headed West again and joined his parents who were living in San Jose, California. In 1904, he returned to Arizona and New Mexico and lived with Hopi and Navajo tribes, learning their languages and painting depictions of their ceremonies, especially the Kachina ceremonial dances. One of the results of his western travels was a series of humorous maps that were spoofs of the national parks and that were made into posters. In the 1930s, the maps sold for 25 cents each and were distributed through souvenir shops at the parks. He also painted a watercolor series, "Horsemen of the West" and wrote two books, Trail Dust and Saddle Leather and Californios. In 1907, he married and bought a ranch in the Santa Clara Valley where he and his father worked together on sculpture commissions until the father died in 1911. In 1914, Mora and his wife moved to San Francisco, and then in 1920 to Carmel, where he completed his most famous work, the Father Serra group of sculpted figures that was placed at the San Carlos Mission. Joseph Mora died in Pebble Beach on October 10, 1947. In 1998, the Monterey Museum of Art held a retrospective of his work which includes sculpture and architectural adornments.

            JO MORA GRAND CANYON PICTORIAL MAP

            Est: $300 - $400

            Jo Mora's (1876-1947) whimsical map of the Grand Canyon, one of Mora's earliest maps from 1931. This bright and colorful pictorial map provides a detailed look at the Grand Canyon, with marvelous vignettes scattered throughout the image. Joseph (Jo) Mora was a Uruguayan-born American cartoonist and illustrator, a pioneer of the 20th century pictorial map. The map shows Native American motifs and numerous small illustrations and humorous text, like an illustration of a large donkey statue with the text, 'Proposed Monument to the Canyon's Unsung Heroes - To be erected by popular subscription'.

            Est: -

            Monterey, California: Published by Joseph (Jo) Jacinto Mora, 1941. First edition. This is the second issue of Jo Mora's iconic poster, dated 1933 but published circa 1939, with the map of Salinas around the Sweetheart of the Rodeo replaced with silhouettes of cowboys and their horses. The artist, Jo Mora, is better known as a designer of pictorial maps, which he referred to as “cartes.” Although his maps tend to be filled with whimsy, this work combines a busy, lighthearted rodeo scene in his humorous cartoony style in the center surrounded by straightforward naturalistic illustrations of cowboys. One of Mora's most enduring creations, this sheet was originally used as a promotional item for the Salinas Rodeo. Later on, the American band the Byrds used the image of the Sweetheart of the Rodeo on their pioneering country-rock album of the same name, released in 1968. The poster is a veritable illustrated encyclopedia entry on the cowboy, filled with information on the various types of cowboys, their fashions, their saddles, their horses, and their relationship to the cattle. A hectic and exaggerated rodeo scene appears in the center, with more realistic illustrations directly below depicting different rodeo activities in close-up detail. Across the top of the sheet and along the sides is a medley of cowboy types throughout history, from the Spanish conquistador of the 16th century to the modern vaqueros and cowboys. Like most of Jo Mora's works, there is a lot going on with regards to its visual presentation and information given. At the top we find the variety of western horse riders presented in a historical manner from the 16th century Spanish conquistador to the modern day cowboy with the "mountain man," "buffalo hunter," and "Texas cowman," included among others. The print is flanked on either side with detailed descriptions and depictions of the various garbs worn by such men. The center portion of the print displays a chaotic, cartoon rodeo scene that is adorned with the "Sweetheart of the Rodeo". Below this scene are several depictions of the various events that take place at the rodeo, some of which include bull and trick riding, steer decorating, calf roping and tying. Also included within the print are numerous drawings of the various saddles, boots, spurs, stirrups, cow brands, ropes, and just about any other element of cowboy life that one can conjure.

This is the rare first edition of Mora's second pictorial map, detailing the area around Monterey, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove and Carmel (where Mora had his studio). It was commissioned by Samuel Finley Brown Morse of Del Monte Properties. The company's Hotel and Lodge are featured in this map. Mora was a prominent California artist of Uruguayan heritage who was well-known as a cartoonist, painter, cartographer, illustrator, photographer and sculptor. In 1998 the Monterey Museum of Art held an exhibition of his work, which they described as follows: "Apart from its artistic merits, Mora's work is valued for its historical significance. As an astute observer, Mora created art that eloquently and accurately described the western land and way of life he admired, whether his subject was vaqueros, Hopi katsina figures, the Arizona landscape, turn-of-the-century Yosemite, or the California missions." "Characterized by exquisite drawing, rich color, and great charm, Mora's maps revealed a deep knowledge of Western American history and culture. His maps formed the most important collection of pictorial cartography done by any artist of one particular region of the United States" (Picturing america p. 28-9).

            JO MORA (1876-1947) CITY OF SAN DIEGO / GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY. 1928. 29 1/4x24 inches, 74 1/2x61 cm. The Marston Company, San Diego. Condition A-: small pin holes in top corners and bottom left margin; slight darkening at edges; vertical and horizontal folds, as issued. Paper. With original mailing envelope. Mora was a prominent California artist of Uruguayan heritage who was well-known as a cartoonist, painter, cartographer, illustrator, photographer and sculptor. In 1998 the Monterey Museum of Art held an exhibition of his work, which they described as follows: "Apart from its artistic merits, Mora's work is valued for its historical significance. As an astute observer, Mora created art that eloquently and accurately described the western land and way of life he admired, whether his subject was vaqueros, Hopi katsina figures, the Arizona landscape, turn-of-the-century Yosemite, or the California missions." This map of San Diego, commissioned by Marston department store in celebration of it's 50th anniversary is "characterized by exquisite drawing, rich color, and great charm. Mora's maps revealed a deep knowledge of Western American history and culture. His maps formed the most important collection of pictorial cartography done by any artist of one particular region of the United States" (Picturing America, p. 28-9). Mora was hesitant to accept the commission from George Marston, who insisted on maintaining the right to republish (though he never did). Only 2000 copies were printed, and it is the only one with a unique envelope.
