SPANISH NEW MEXICO $65.00 Concept and Design: William Field Photography: Jack Parsons Writing and Editing: Donna Pierce and Marta Weigle 
The Museum of Spanish Colonial Art is pleased to offer its book, Spanish
New Mexico, The Spanish Colonial Arts Society Collection, 320
pages, Museum of the New Mexico Press, 1996. Nothing less than a "museum
on paper," this two-volume, slipcased set makes available to the public
for the first time the Society's unparalleled collection of over 2,500 objects,
both secular and religious. Lavishly illustrated with 600 color plates and
150 black and white photographs, Spanish New Mexico
also includes essays on three centuries of art making, the founding of the
Spanish Colonial Arts Society and Spanish Market, and profiles of many of
today's contemporary masters.
The first volume examines the characteristic subjects in a historical and cultural context - religious paintings and sculpture, hand-cragfted furniture, straw applique, precious metals, tinwork, utilitarian implements and textiles. The second volume traces the 20th century revival of these crafts and
the role of the Society, now 70 years old, in stimulating and promoting
them. It also includes profiles of outstanding artists who continue to
carry on these traditions. The great popularity of Santa Fe's world renowned
Spanish Market affirms the improtant role the Society has played in the
preservation and continuing interest in Hispanic art. Hundreds of New
Mexico artists continue to exhibit and sell contemporary examples of the
traditional arts that have thrived in Northern New Mexico for centuries.
The Society's collection continues to teach and inspire new generations
of artists while stimulating the ever growing interest in the history,
culture, art and style of New Mexico.
