Subtitle: Connections in Spanish Colonial Art
First published: July 2002
Description: "Conexiones: Connections in Spanish Colonial Art illustrates this heritage with selections from the 3,000-object collections at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The extraordinary assortment of objects presented here, along with their illuminating histories, reaches across space and time to celebrate the qualities that characterize the Spanish Colonial art aesthetic: sophistication, resourcefulness, elegant simplicity, skilled craftsmanship.

Through these masterworks, we glimpse the daily lives of the unique Hispano cultures that thrive around the world today, including in New Mexico, where Spanish settlers established roots decades before the more celebrated arrival of the English at Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. The book's intriguing selection of objects from non-colonial countries also reveals the universality of artistic subjects and styles."--BOOK JACKET.
