Review
Baca’s exploration of this Southwest art and design tradition traces the ‘Rio Grande’ style from past to present, explaining how history and local culture have influenced furniture design and highlighting prominent craftspeople and their contributions. Excellent color photos capture the classic designs which represent the Rio Grande style. -- Midwest Book Review
From the Back Cover
Flowing from out of Rio Grande country is an artistic movement with its roots in both Native American and Spanish cultures--Rio Grande high style.
Furniture as ruggedly beautiful as the terrain that inspired it, mesas, cajas, trasteros, and other forms of furniture crafts are exqusitely illustrated in stunning color and black-and-white images, alongside profiles of the makers themselves.
Never before has anyone attempted to define the distinctive directions of furniture making in Rio Grande country--Taos Country, Native American, Rio Grande Cowboy and Ranch, New Spanish, and Rio Grande Mission. Elmo Baca not only defines these directions, he captures the vitality, the charm, the very essence of this movement--a design tour de force. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
