South Brunswick and New York: A. S. Barnes, 1972. 159pp/illus. "The legacy of Mexican art is rooted in mystery - in a people's unquenchable love of beauty. Across centuries of alternate torture and triumph, in a land both hospitable and cruel, the creative urge rose again and again over natural and human catastrophes which should have fractured its tradition permanantly. But each time, a new synthesis was formed, until in the flowering of the twentieth century native art combined the earthiness of cactus with the mysticism of eternity."
