Title: Arte popular guanajuatense
Description: The book "Popular art of Guanajuato. With the tradition in the hands" is a text that accounts for the diverse forms of traditional crafts which still exist today in Guanajuato: pottery, folklore masks, rebozos (textile), metallurgy and wood sculptures. The book comprises names, people, places and anecdotes. "Their creators do not elaborate pieces to obtain recognition, but to continue a tradition. The beauty lies in this is a shared art from the moment of its elaboration: popular art has no creator, it has a community of creators, and transcends over the boundaries of the individual to the collective Guanajuato, the popular art creations are a mirror in which the richness of the land and its inhabitants are exhibited."--Page 8.
