5.0 out of 5 stars SPIVEY ON MARIA RECOMMENDED, February 26, 2008
By 
KRD "KRD" (DETROIT area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legacy of Maria Poveka Martinez (Hardcover)
I found the Spivey book entitled Maria to be a great asset to my library of books on Indian pottery. The multitude of close up pictures is very helpful in knowing the details of her pottery and that of her family. The easy to read narrative resulting from a personal relationship with Maria and others in the Pueblo make a very intimate kind of reading. The chapter of Maria's own statements certainly reveals the warmth of her spirit and generosity. I would recommend the book to anyone who is considering the purchase of the best in Pueblo pottery or anyone seeking identification of pottery they already have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visually Stunning, May 6, 2009
This review is from: The Legacy of Maria Poveka Martinez (Hardcover)
Thankfully, the author took time to be with his wondrous subject, and the photographs are stunning. Not only does this history lend authenticity to the Legend Called Maria, but it provides the photographic path of her
resourcefulness in adapting to her creative partners, and even sticking stubbornly to her finest skill (creating the basic pottery). She never veered from her confidence in doing the piece of pottery-making she knew she did best. A lesson for us all.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Legacy of Maria Poveka Martinez (Hardcover)
We collect stuff - Indian pots and baskets. This gave us some historical perspective on the pots of the pueblo. A good reference book.
