Publisher's Synopsis

Folk artists of New Mexico in the 18th and 19th centuries based the religious images of their art on the small-scale prints found in missals and prayer books imported from Europe. They discarded the rococo detail and invented their own colour schemes for the objects they created for personal devotion. This elegant book presents 42 of the most beloved saints in elegantly rendered pen and ink drawings with accompanying text.
