About this book

Spirit Ascendant: The Art and Life of Patrociño Barela by David L. Witt. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781878610461.

Patrocino Barela (1900-1964) worked most of his life as a wood carver in Taos, New Mexico. A renowned santero--an artist who creates images of saints--Barela is recognized by New Mexicos contemporary Hispanic artists as a major source of inspiration. He emerged in 1936 as one of Americas important artists when he was featured in a show of Federal Arts Project artists in New Yorks Museum of Modern Art, the first Mexican-American artist to be so recognized.
