Publisher's Synopsis
Richly illustrated with examples of 18th and 19th century art northern New Mexico's village churches, Santos is an in-depth investigation into the artistic heritage of the New Mexican santero (saint maker). Along with photographer Jack Parsons, Marie Romero Cash visited every church in the region and documented, identified, and measured each piece. Together they photographed over 500 pieces, including 19 moradas (places of worship for Penitentes) and the Archdiocese of Santa Fe collection housed at the Museum of International Folk Art.
