About This Item
Albuquerque, New Mexico: LPD Press, 1998. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 10" x 8 1/2. New book in original shrink wrap. Our Saints Among Us, the book and the traveling exhibit, celebrates four hundred years of the devotional traditions of Catholic, Hispanic New Mexico. The Santos of New Mexico have been a source of inspiration and pride and are now treasured by art collectors and museums. This book shares the devotional and the artistic traditions with art from the 1790s to the present. Many of the pieces displayed are award-winners. Contemporary artists represented include: Charlie Carrillo, Ramon Jose Lopez, Marie Romero Cash, Gustavo Victor Goler, and Alcario Otero - just to name a few. The larger art world is now discovering what Christians and artists in New Mexico have known for centuries: the noble simplicity and vibrant beauty that make santos so compelling. Art auction houses last year reported record prices for antique pieces. More importantly, the increased interest is supporting the rise of a new generation of santeros, promising that the creation of retablos and bultos will continue to evolve from their Spanish colonial roots. This is a non-traditional book about a very traditional subject - santos. The book is a labor of love by the authors to share their appreciation with a worldwide audience.
