Art 261: O'Keeffe and Arts of New Mexico

Among the oldest buildings in the United States, the churches of Spanish New Mexico--made of earth, of stone, of wood--are the surprisingly fragile reminders of a unique amalgam of Spanish architectural ideas and native American Pueblo culture. This book surveys the land and rivers, the people and ideas, that led to this compelling religious architecture; it is also a guide to visiting these churches today.

A detailed account of the complex history of Pueblo Indian land in New Mexico, beginning in the late seventeenth century and continuing to the present day.

Recognizing Heritage explores the social, political, and historical context of public efforts to interpret and preserve Native American and Hispanic heritage in northern New Mexico.

Explores the little art communities (including Taos) and their aesthetic products in the early twentieth century.

As Santa Fe has become more and more of a tourist town, its Hispanic citizens have increasingly struggled to define and preserve their own cultural identity. This book is one of the few efforts by a native Hispanic resident to examine the city's traditions and cultures.
