Forms Of Tradition In Contemporary Spain
University Press of Mississippi, 2005. Soft cover with illustrated wraps. 142 color photographs and 9 black-and-white illustrations, this work is a major contribution to the field of art history as well as a celebration of the artists it profiles. Through case studies of four considerably different kinds of artists-a traditional potter, a couple who create huge papier-mâché figures for festival processions and dancing, a group of masked, costumed "devils" who enliven traditional street theatre with modern pyrotechnics, and an idiosyncratic builder of one of the most spectacular art environments known worldwide-this book broadens the existing understanding of traditional arts by creating a more realistic and expansive interpretation of tradition and the influences upon each creative act. Fine in original shrink-wrap. Item #410
