Santa Barraza, Artist of the Borderlands (Rio Grande/Rio Bravo, No. 5)

Description:

"Santa Barraza paints bold representations of Nepantla, the Land Between. Her work depicts the historical, emotional, and spiritual land between Mexico and Texas, between the real and the celestial, between present reality and the mythic world of the ancient Aztecs and Mayas. More than thirty of her most powerful and characteristic works are offered in full color and considered in this study of a nationally important Tejana artist."--BOOK JACKET.
