About This Item
Tucson, Arizona:: University of Arizona Press, 1968.. 1st Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: light rust-red 'tweed' cloth with gilt text; the boards are slightly bowed; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket.. oblong format: 9.25 inches tall by 12.25 inches wide . Tan endpapers. Description: Illustrated with full page color reproductions of paintings by Ted De Grazia. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Artistic in his inimitable use of fresh color, De Grazia has poured his feelings through the brush with imaginative composition and individual interpretation. The Holy Season ceremonies are the main focus of the year for the Yaquis -- full of variations because they are unscripted interpretations, not formalized, unchanging rituals. The glimpses given here were set down from vivid personal recollections of the ceremonies as conducted in the mid-sixties. De Grazia spent forty days and many nights with the Yaquis. 'I waited and I waited. I watched and I watched. At night I did many sketches of what I had seen. Then I painted day and night, night and day -- I painted without interruption for I wanted to put onto the canvas the same emotional impact the Yaqui had.' The commentary and paintings display this impact.''
