Photographer Frederick Preston and poet Carmen Tafolla deliver a tour-de-force overview of San Antonio’s vast reservoir of public art in the beautiful book of photos and poetry Arte Del Pueblo. Preston and Tafolla chose to focus on public art that all residents and visitors have the opportunity to view free of charge. The artists who contribute to this city’s unique artistic phenomenon are often influenced by their interpretation of the city’s history, culture, traditions, demographics, languages, and spatial qualities.
Remarkable, inspirational and visually soulful history that impacts all our senses....each view is a history lesson that excites our pride and well- being...kudos to Preston and particularly to Carmen Tafolla...well done...the book is a definite must to purchase and share with family and friends....Mario Longoria
