Tucker -- Beatrice and Pedro Ximenez -- Gallery of Trabajo Rústico Artisans -- Notes."As documented in Patsy Pittman Light's award-winning book, Capturing Nature, Mexican artisan Dionicio Rodríguez arrived in San Antonio in the 1920s and created concrete bus stop shelters, park benches, footbridges, and other structures in the style known as faux bois, or trabajo rústico. In the years since, these have become some of the city's most beloved landmarks, including a number listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Following on the success of that previous work, Light, with the assistance of photographer and artist Kent Rush, presents a comprehensive look at the legacy of Rodríguez as reflected in the works of those whom he trained, mentored, or influenced. Rodríguez captured nature in his work, but he also continues to capture our imagination. Drawing these artistic creations out of the urban landscape, Artisans of Trabajo Rústico makes the nearly invisible fully visible to the critic, the historian, and especially to the casual viewer. Light asserts that San Antonio has the largest concentration of this art form in the country and includes copious full-color photography of the work of Rodríguez and other artisans. This handsomely illustrated and painstakingly documented work offers the broadest possible panorama for the craft and endearing familiarity of this form. Inspired by nature, built by hand, and placed in the service of the public, these 'rustic works' continue to provide enjoyment, convenience, and a touch of artistic elegance to public and private landscapes in San Antonio and elsewhere. Light and Rush's work affords a fresh and wide-ranging look at this important artisanal tradition"--Provided by publisher.Rio Grande/Río Bravo: Borderlands Culture and TraditionsPopular cultureInfluencefast(OCoLC)fst01071362Outdoor sculpturefast(OCoLC)fst01049210Nature in popular culturefast(OCoLC)fst01909930Nature in artfast(OCoLC)fst01034679Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)fast(OCoLC)fst00972484Garden ornaments and furniturefast(OCoLC)fst00937812Decoration and ornament, RusticThemes, motivesfast(OCoLC)fst00889296Concrete sculpturefast(OCoLC)fst00874390Artisansfast(OCoLC)fst00817519Nature in artNature in popular cultureGarden ornaments and furnitureTexasSan AntonioPictorial worksOutdoor sculptureTexasSan AntonioPictorial worksConcrete sculptureTexasSan AntonioPictorial worksDecoration and ornament, RusticTexasSan AntonioThemes, motivesArtisansTexasSan AntonioPopular cultureMexicoInfluenceTexasSan AntoniofastMexicofastPopular cultureInfluence.Outdoor sculpture.Nature in popular culture.Nature in art.Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Garden ornaments and furniture.Decoration and ornament, RusticThemes, motives.Concrete sculpture.Artisans.Nature in art.Nature in popular culture.Garden ornaments and furnitureOutdoor sculptureConcrete sculptureDecoration and ornament, RusticThemes, motives.ArtisansPopular cultureInfluence.730.74/764351Light Patsy Pittman1862092Rush Kent1862093MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911046612203321Artisans of Trabajo Rústico4468349UNINA
