She lives in the pueblo of San Ildefonso, near Santa Fé, New Mexico, and although her life has been, as closely as she could make it, the normal life of a woman of her culture, her unusual qualities have set her apart and gained her fame throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough her mastery of pottery-making, María brought economic gain to her family and her village. However, distressing problems accompanied success and fame. Liquor ultimately wrecked Julían. There was dissension within the pueblo. And there was the succession of admiring white people who invaded her home and interrupted her work. Not least, in María view, was the departure of her own children from many Pueblo customs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInextricably woven into the story of María is the story of the pottery of the Southwestern Pueblos, a native craft that has become a national art interest, including the development of the unique black-on-black ware by Julián, the first of which is reproduced among the illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret Lefranc's many accurate drawings of actual pieces of pottery provide an almost complete documentary history of the craft and show some of the finest examples of María's art. Her skilled pen has also interpreted faithfully the spirit of María, the Pueblo Indians, and the pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Maria: The Potter of San Ildefonso Volume 27 (Revised) | Alice Marriott | Paperback | 9780806120485 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1748160","offer_id":48856083693720,"sku":"1748160","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51P6644GAKL.jpg?v=1775574763","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/maria-the-potter-of-san-ildefonso-volume-27-revised","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
