Mary Virginia Carson

Pioneer in Capturing Rock Art with Watercolors

Beschreibung

In 1931, Witte Museum Artist Mary Virginia Carson became entranced by the complexity, beauty, and allure of ancient murals in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands. As witnessed in this book, the energetic and sometimes sumptuous watercolors show a passion that Carson reveals not only in her artistic work but also in her field notes about each rock art site.
