A visual and poetic look at how public art can express the history and heart of a community!
A visual and poetic look at how public art has expressed the history and heart of the community in San Antonio, Texas.
Foreword by San Antonio mayor Ron Nirenberg.
A celebration of the power of public art to express a community's cultural heritage, Arte del Pueblo explores San Antonio's heart and soul. In moving photography and poetic commentary, it covers five genres of public art in a variety of artistic styles, from murals, sculpture, and mosaics to street art and digital art projections.
Readers will come away with a deeper understanding of this multicultural crossroad through an introduction to its major artistic influences, as well as thought-provoking interviews with 11 of the 190 artists featured. San Antonio's public artworks can be found everywhere: from its famous River Walk to the West Side Barrio, in parks and libraries, along roadways and bridges, on high-rises and restaurants.
The book's suggested self-tours guide those who wish to appreciate their favorite pieces in person.
