Viva Guadalupe!: The Virgin in New Mexican Popular Art

For over three hundred years, the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe in her Mexican invocation has been celebrated in New Mexico. Our Lady of Guadalupe, the famous image of Mary in a body halo, has transcended the bounds of religion and institution to become an iconic folk symbol of the spirit that unifies and protects. This is a visual celebration of this powerful devotion and of the multi-faceted images that artists, folk artists, and everyday devotees create in the name of Nuestra Senora.
