Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Some of the world´s most extraordinary folk art is produced in Mexico, mainly by women, and this book offers eight examples of fascinating visual forms. Some are traditional and others are modern, including votive paintings, embroidered exvotos, cardboard Judas dolls and alebrijes, fantastic clay figures from Ocumicho, reproductions of Frida Kahlo’s paintings in clay, the serapes of Teotitlán del Valle (Oaxaca), the Zapatista dolls and, as well, the siurells of Mallorca, Spain, all non-utilitarian art.
