In the aftermath of the Mexian Revolution of 1910, artists and intellectuals articulated a new vision for the country's future. Featuring the work of artists such as Rivera, Orozco, Siqueiros, Kahlo, and Izquierdo, Mexican Modern re-examines the multiple identities of Mexican modernism and Mexico's unsurpassed position in the arts during the early twentieth century.

Family photographs, personal possessions, oral histories, and reminiscences poignantly illistrate the storeis of early Jewish immigrants in New Mexico.

Through photographs and interviews, this book is an extraordinarily intimate glimpse into the creative spaces and minds of 52 New Mexico artists whose work environments are as varied as the artwork produced in them. Among those represented are contemporary painters, sculptors, printmakers, ceramic and textile artists, video and conceptual artists living in the art capitals of Taos and Santa Fe and in many remote locales throughout the state.

Ernest Knee captured with intimacy and a sensitive modernist eye the expanse of southwestern landscapes and gave us iconic images of the churches at Ranchos de Taos and Trampas, the ruins at Canyon de Chelly and mesa Verde, the sand hills of Abiquiu and Monument Valley. Knee's landscape work remains a primary achievement in New Mexico's photographic history.

This heartfelt novel for ages 9-12 describes the life of Miguel Rivera, who illegally enters the United States with his parents when he is five.

The author includes over 30 poems culled from the last 25 years which truly showcase his life and soul, a soul that was kidnapped by rodeo and stolen by poetry. His poems and the accompanying photographs by Barbara Van Cleve capture the grit of the rodeo style.

This anthropological and historical study delves into the San Cristobel Ranch in the archaeology-rich Galisteo Basin that has seen centuries of human history and prehistory in lavish photography and lucidly written text. It captures the tale of New Mexico in all its expansive richness -- a beauty of a book, full of archival and landscape photos.
