Description
The ever-popular religious art which has predominated among nuevomexicanos? creative instincts and expressions for over four hundred years is, once again, presented in this new book by Ronald W. Maestas, La Fe de Mis Amigos, Vecinos, Parientes y Mis Padres. It provides both old, artistic traditions and new revelations about the work of many contemporary artists from New Mexico and Southern Colorado, individuals who continue to maintain, preserve and carry out this centuries-old tradition with the same passion and commitment of those who have preceded them for generations. Los santeros y santeras illustrated in this pictorial book are but a few who continue this proud legacy that is deeply rooted in faith and the Catholic religion brought to the Americas by their antepasados, or forebearers.
