Tucker -- Beatrice and Pedro Ximenez -- Gallery of Trabajo Ru?stico Artisans -- Notes. 330 $a"As documented in Patsy Pittman Light's award-winning book, Capturing Nature, Mexican artisan Dionicio Rodri?guez arrived in San Antonio in the 1920s and created concrete bus stop shelters, park benches, footbridges, and other structures in the style known as faux bois, or trabajo ru?stico. In the years since, these have become some of the city's most beloved landmarks, including a number listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Following on the success of that previous work, Light, with the assistance of photographer and artist Kent Rush, presents a comprehensive look at the legacy of Rodri?guez as reflected in the works of those whom he trained, mentored, or influenced. Rodri?guez captured nature in his work, but he also continues to capture our imagination. Drawing these artistic creations out of the urban landscape, Artisans of Trabajo Ru?stico makes the nearly invisible fully visible to the critic, the historian, and especially to the casual viewer. Light asserts that San Antonio has the largest concentration of this art form in the country and includes copious full-color photography of the work of Rodri?guez and other artisans. This handsomely illustrated and painstakingly documented work offers the broadest possible panorama for the craft and endearing familiarity of this form. Inspired by nature, built by hand, and placed in the service of the public, these 'rustic works' continue to provide enjoyment, convenience, and a touch of artistic elegance to public and private landscapes in San Antonio and elsewhere. Light and Rush's work affords a fresh and wide-ranging look at this important artisanal tradition"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRio Grande/Río Bravo: Borderlands Culture and Traditions 606 $aPopular culture$xInfluence$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01071362 606 $aOutdoor sculpture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01049210 606 $aNature in popular culture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01909930 606 $aNature in art$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01034679 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00972484 606 $aGarden ornaments and furniture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00937812 606 $aDecoration and ornament, Rustic$xThemes, motives$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00889296 606 $aConcrete sculpture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00874390 606 $aArtisans$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00817519 606 $aNature in art 606 $aNature in popular culture 606 $aGarden ornaments and furniture$zTexas$zSan Antonio$vPictorial works 606 $aOutdoor sculpture$zTexas$zSan Antonio$vPictorial works 606 $aConcrete sculpture$zTexas$zSan Antonio$vPictorial works 606 $aDecoration and ornament, Rustic$zTexas$zSan Antonio$xThemes, motives 606 $aArtisans$zTexas$zSan Antonio 606 $aPopular culture$zMexico$xInfluence 607 $aTexas$zSan Antonio$2fast 607 $aMexico$2fast 615 0$aPopular culture$xInfluence. 615 0$aOutdoor sculpture. 615 0$aNature in popular culture. 615 0$aNature in art. 615 0$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 0$aGarden ornaments and furniture. 615 0$aDecoration and ornament, Rustic$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aConcrete sculpture. 615 0$aArtisans. 615 0$aNature in art. 615 0$aNature in popular culture. 615 0$aGarden ornaments and furniture 615 0$aOutdoor sculpture 615 0$aConcrete sculpture 615 0$aDecoration and ornament, Rustic$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aArtisans 615 0$aPopular culture$xInfluence. 676 $a730.74/764351 700 $aLight$b Patsy Pittman$01862092 701 $aRush$b Kent$01862093 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911046612203321 996 $aArtisans of Trabajo Rústico$94468349 997 $aUNINA
