Santiago

Description:

This exhibition catalogue is devoted to the history and contemporary presence of St. James, or Santiago as he is called in Spanish, whose exploits continue to be celebrated in Spain and the United States. Joan Myers has photographed the route in Spain, showing us both the landscape through which the route passes and the details of architecture and sculptures along the way. She also includes photographs showing Santiago as he is depicted in the New World in sculpture, painting, crafts, and ritual. Marc Simmons examines Santiago's manifestations in the New World, and Donna Pierce writes about the art historical significance of Santiago in Spain.--Adapted from jacket flap.
