From the Publisher
The unique nature of Spanish Colonial Art in New Mexico stems in part from the isolation of Spain's northernmost frontier. Far removed from the cultural centers of Mexico City and Spain, colonists in New Mexico enjoyed artistic liberties that lie at the heart of their unique Hispanic Folk Art. Traditional Arts of Spanish New Mexico brings together superlative examples from the Museum of International Folk Art, which houses the largest collection of New Mexican folk art in the world. Spanish Colonial folk-art expert Robin Gavin provides an essay and extended photo text identifying over one hundred religious and secular objects and discussing the rich iconography of New Mexico's canon of New World saints, beloved for their irresistible visual appeal, and the craft traditions brought from Spain and still practiced today.
