Description
This groundbreaking study of art environments created by self-taught artists across Spain introduces 99 sites featuring idiosyncratic sculptures, homes, and gardens, most of which have never been previously published and analyzed. Detailed case studies of each are contextualized with historical and theoretical references to a broad range of interlocking fields, including art history, anthropology, vernacular architecture, Spanish area studies, and folklore; each chapter is complemented with compelling visuals. Breaking down the standard compartmentalization of genres, Hernández reveals how these creators fuse their work with their daily life in a way generally unmatched in any other circumstances of making art.
