Book Reviews of New Mexico Artists at Work
Book Review: Artists' Studios
Summary: 5 Stars
As an artist I love books on artists studios, seeing what "artist plunder" they have or do not have, clues as to how they make their way with their work.
New Mexico Artists At Work is a work of love. From the beautiful color photographs to the commentaries to the wide varity of lifestyles. There is a long history of artists who have chosen Northern New Mexico as a place to live and work and This book shows why artists continue to settle here.
Artists studios come in so many sizes and shapes, and artists working styles range from the perfectionists to the life in progress. There is often an element of play, elements spread
out over the floor. A studio is as intimate as one's bedroom or library, where the artist is bringing the internal to the outside.
Agnes Martin, New Mexico's most famous artist after Georgia O'Keefe, lived a monastic life in her studio. Susan Rothenburg's studio reflects her complex personality, as does Paul Sarkisian, who now works on monumental paintings that become wall sculptures.Many of these artists became established in New York and then chose the open spaces of Northern New Mexico to make their homes and do their work.
This book is about modern color, the people who live and work with it, all the taste and style of New Mexico, it is about real lives of real people.
