Publisher Comments:
Remembering Santa Fe Old adobes, Pueblo Indians, delightful little burros, and the symbols of Catholicism all come to life through the art of Willard F. Clark. A printmaker and artist, he is widely known for capturing the romance of the old Southwest and greatly influencing the way we view Santa Fe, New Mexico. In Remembering Santa Fe the hand-carved woodcuts show daily life in the Southwest from 1928 to 1943-weaving, baking, building, singing, and worship. The style of the art is distinctive, and each etching is accompanied by reminiscences of the artist. This beautifully crafted book captures the spirit and essence of Santa Fe.

The woodcuts are wonderful, but it's the easy-going memories of Willard Clark that make this book so worthwhile. Remembering Santa Fe is about a time before electronics ruled our lives, before clock and car and superhighway of one kind or another crowded out the figurative and literal open spaces in our lives. But Clark's firsthand graphic and verbal depictions of a bygone era are never sentimental; he obviously loved the life he led in pre-WWII Santa Fe, and we can see why. It was a sweet, authentic life, lived close to nature, close to the people around him, and with art. Generations passing along the secrets of their arts and crafts; fishing in a nearby stream; preparing simple but flavorful food; playing guitar with a friend in the moonlight; working in a field; going visiting; building adobes; all are part of the Santa Fe life that Clark's so lovingly and convincingly recorded. It makes me want to find a time machine and join him there.
