Editorial Review: A gentle wood carver whose santos are stolen; an old hunchback who with the help of Our Lady, comes into her own; a horse thief innocent of wrong intent--theirs are the stories that Fray Angelico paints, framing them with exquisite art in the manner of the medieval triptych. Born and bred in the land of sunshine and silence, his is a threefold heritage and a threefold gift. Heir to the artistic tradition of Spanish New Mexico, steeped in the spirit of Franciscan mysticism, and word-perfect in the folklore of the adobe village, he interprets tha ageless spirit of his people in story, poetry and painting. |
