Book Reviews of Martin Ramirez.
Book Review: Deserves a place in your collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautifully designed and bound monograph, with plenty of excellent color reproductions and several well-written essays that flesh out the story of this little-known artist. The thoroughly researched and illustrated biographical essay by Victor M. Espinosa and Kristin E. Espinosa deserves mention here. Martin Ramirez does not fall neatly under the folk art designation, as his work is not of the Mexican folk art tradition (in which he was not trained), nor easily under "outsider art", as his work reflects a striking depth of passion, emotional intelligence, and graphic power that, luckily, brought him to the attention of the art world well before his death.
