Henkes Includes Latinas from the Midwest

Latin American Women Artists of the United States: The Works of 33 Twentieth-Century Women Robert Henkes includes the often neglected Latina artists of the Midwest in his survey book of 33 Latin American Women Artists of the United States. Henkes attempts to develop a hypothesis centered on Catholic iconography but includes little if any insight from the artists themselves. One of the artists featured in the book, is myself, Theresa Rosado. In addition to black and white photos of each artists work there are beautiful color plates of which I was fortunate enough to have my work featured on. This book would make a great reference point for further research on artists of the Midwest and their influences. Salsa Strut
