A More Abundant Life: New Deal Artists and Public Art in New Mexico

Rating:
Summary: An intriguing slice of American culture and art
Review: A story of a unique time and place where colorful cultures blended to create a magical display of public art that is unique to the New Mexico region. As a big fan of the New Deal projects that include much of the rustic lodge-type architecture in our National Parks, this book has expanded my understanding of these projects to include the fine arts and the culture of those who created it. The New Mexico region, under the direction of an artist with a good spirit, was able to thrive in a unique and spectacular manner unlike any other.
Read the book and enjoy the excellent color plates.
